Kai is off to school....

Last week Jen went back to work and here are pictures of Kai's first day of infant care. It was hard for Jen to drop him off after being with him every day for 10 weeks. I went along for this milestone in all of our lives.



Here is a view of the class room where Kai will be spending most of his days.
It looks like he will have fun while we work. Let me just tell you, childcare is not cheap...



Each infant has their own crib in the class room. When you drop him off you have to provide him with a mobile, 3 changes of clothes, enough bottles for the day, diapers, wipes, etc.... we even bring some toys from home so that he has something familiar.

TWO Months Old Today


So our baby boy grows to be a bit older today and he is cuter than ever. He is talking a lot these days, or at least trying to, and every now and then he honors us with a smile. The tough little guy got his shots yesterday which was hard for Jen and I to watch but he took it like a champ. The first shot really didn't phase him much, but after the next 2-4 shots he screamed as loud as he could for about 20 seconds, then it was pacifier to save the day.


I cannot explain the joy he brings us but I must say that it is hard. Especially for Jen at night... He's up every 3 hours and there are times where he is up in between. It also seems like 5 am is his internal wake up time which is when i take over before I get ready for work.

A week from Monday will be our hardest task... Jen goes back to work and Kai starts day care. We are a bit nervous and trust me it will take a while for us to get use to it.
