First Easter

We just celebrated Kai's first Easter. He also turned 9 months old. It was a touch and go weekend and we weren't sure if we would be able to do much for Easter as Kai got sick on Friday and didn't actually break his fever until late Saturday night. However, we had a great family day. We woke up and headed to church, then came back home for a little brunch and egg hunt in the living room. Funny story: When I first told Eli that I was going to do an egg hunt for Kai, he looked at me with this weird face and said, "He's not going to be able to find the eggs". Yes, my husband actually thought I was going to hide the eggs and then make Kai go find them. You all did know that our son is really advanced, right?!?! lol

Anyway, Kai loved the egg hunt! Well, sort of. When I release him into the living room, he crawled right to his first egg and then to his second egg. After that he just played with his 2 eggs, shaking them and hitting them together. He seriously could care less that there were 4 more eggs to go get. So I did what any mom would do and took the first 2 eggs and put them in his basket. Needless to say, he cried and was quite mad at me. But I held my ground and in a really cheerful voice pointed out another egg that was laying there. He decided to go for it and then for another. But once again, was content with his 2 eggs that he stopped his search. So "mean" mommy had to take those away and put them in his basket too. This time he was really mad at me, but somehow I got him to go after the last 2 eggs. Once he had them, I gave back the other 4 as well. So, I guess you can say he loved the egg hunt up to 2 eggs. lol

After the egg hunt, we headed to Boynton to have dinner with the family. When we returned home, we took Kai out back and let him pose for some Easter pictures. Apparently, he was too curious with what the green stuff was that he was sitting on. He kept kicking his feet around and making faces. It was pretty funny. It was a nice day!

SURPRISE...look who turned 40!

A couple of weekends ago, Teresa decided to throw Scott a surprise 70's themed birthday party. Everyone came out in full force dressed for the event. We saw tie dye, big hair, disco shirts, neon colored go go dresses, etc. The food was delicious (as always) and everyone had a blast groovin to the music. Happy 40th Scott!

Busy, Busy, Busy

The last month has been quite busy for us. Kai is crawling all over the place and pulling himself up on anything he can get a hold of. We have been trying to enjoy the great South Florida weather as much as we can by taking walks or sitting outside in the back yard. Kai loves the outdoors!


At the end of March, we took a trip to Orlando for Irene's baby shower and to visit friends and family. Kai got to spend some quality time with GG as they played on the floor together, and then continued his festivies with the Rivera clan. Unfortunately since I was the host of the shower, I didn't get any pictures. Thank goodness for the Alana and Velana who took tons of pictures of all of us in our pink! We can't wait to meet the new little princess in June. On our way home from Orlando we took a detour to visit the Espejo's and their new addition, Jayden. Kai didn't know what to think of his new friend, but he definitely looked like a giant sitting next to him. :o)

My Gym

Kai has enjoyed his time with his friends, Trey and Zane, at My Gym. They do different activities than what he did at Nova. His favorites are the swings and hanging from the bar. It's like we have a little monkey on our hands. He also loves to play the little keyboard/piano during circle time. He is the only one that really hits the keys as if he knows what he is doing. lol
