Time is flying by....




Wow, Kai turned 10 months this week and I cannot believe it! It just seems like time has flown by way too fast. He is at a really fun stage right now. He continues to crawl all through the house and pulls himself up on anything he can to stand and scoot around that way. We are still not sure when he will try to walk, he seems a little skeptical of the hands free motion. Recently, he has learned to wave bye-bye, and to blow a goodbye kiss. It is so cute because he doesn't quite blow the kiss, but makes the muah sound. He is finally getting some more hair and doesn't look bald anymore! Yay!

Eating....well, that's a whole other story. He doesn't seem to really want to eat from a spoon anymore. He just wants to eat using his fingers. So we have been experimenting with pastas, different veggies and fruits, bread, cheese, waffles, etc. He had his first grilled cheese sandwhich and loved it. The puffs are his favorite, so we treat them like a dessert. lol We are using the sippy cup more, and boy has this been a little mission. At first he would chug from it and then end up spitting almost all of it out because it was too much to swallow. However, I must say that he has gotten quite good at using it now. The other day he must have been so thirsty because he was drinking from it like he was chugging down a bottle.

We found out that he LOVES music. When you put on his baby music videos, he goes into a trance watching while he dances (sways back and forth). He really is a good dancer. He also learned to turn his little mobile on and off in his crib. So his new morning routine is that when he wakes up, he tosses around and talks to himself until Eli or I go in to get him. Once he sees one of us, he then goes over to his mobile and turns it on. Then we spend about 5 minutes dancing and listening to the mobile. Is he not the cutest thing ever!

The Start of Swim Classes



Well, the summer heat has started to kick in here so Kai and I have started to adventure outside to the pool. Since our pool is still warming up, we are limited to swim classes at the YMCA on Saturday mornings. The first 2 classes were nice because the Y had the pool nice and warm (like a bathtub), but the last 2 classes have been quite cold. Kai really enjoys the water and splashes in it like he does in the tub. However, he really doesn't like to float on his back yet. Either way, mom and son are enjoying their Saturday mornings.
