2012 is Rolling Along

2012 seems to be moving along very quick already. Kai has really taken to his art easel. He draws with his crayons and colored pencils and tells us he is drawing different animals or that he is drawing his letters. We just love the fact that he enjoys it so much. He also has continued his swim classes and we are hoping that by this summer that he will be able to swim across the whole pool (keeping our fingers crossed). However, we are definitely not there yet. He is good at kicking and moving his arms but doesn't seem to be going anyway. Other than that he continues to LOVE cars and must have a collection of at least 50 at this stage. Yeah, he is spoiled. lol He also loves playing his guitar and making music. He and daddy march around the house with their guitars, playing music and entertaining mommy.

He is probably about 80% potty trained at this stage. We seem to be having issues with pooping in the potty, how fun for us! Hoping he will get it soon and be 100% trained by the time baby brother comes. Kai also seems to be going through some kind of phase with very vivid dreams that keep waking him up in the middle of the night. Which means he walks over to our room and ends up sleeping with us. Talk about a congested bed! Queen size with daddy, mommy, mommy's belly and Kai... Yikes!

Kai's vocabulary continues to grow and he seems to be a nonstop talker (hmmm, don't know where he got that from...Auntie Shelley??) However, you wouldn't know it if you try to talk to him on the phone. He has been moved up to the older 2's class and seems to really love it there. His friend Giovanni moved up with him and we have been told that the 2 boys are inseparable. No surprise there since they have been in the same class since they were 6 months old. They are definitely 2 peas in a pod, good and bad.

On the weekends, we continue to try to make it to play dates with Trey and Zane and lately Drew has even joined us. We have been doing My Gym, but we have also gone to a park and Kids Hub. Kai enjoys them all. How funny that all of us are expecting babies and all within a few months a part. So crazy, but we will be having huge play dates for the big kids and the little ones too. lol I can't wait.

25 Weeks and Still Growing...

I am 25 weeks along now and filling much rounder than before. Little man continues to move a lot and seems to have hiccups every day (just like his brother did). He also is giving mommy quite a bit a heartburn that never seems to go away. We've been told that he has the "Davis" toes according to the sonogram...lol Kai is starting to warm up even more to the idea of having a baby brother. He likes to stop by the nursery room at the daycare on the way out and look at the babies. He also has learned that baby brother has to "grow bigger" before he can come out and "play". Although the other day, he did pat his own belly and say "hi baby brother". lol He definitely says the funniest things. About a week ago, he was just waking up and he told me that his baby brother was going to sleep with him in "Kai bed". He also grabbed at my belly and acted like he was picking something up and then gave it to daddy and said "Here daddy, here is Kian." lol If only it were that easy. ha ha ha. Oh, and yes, that is the baby's name that we have chosen... Kian Davis.
This is me at 22 weeks!
