Busy Couple of Months

2012 has proven to be a busy year for us. GG had a pretty serious surgery and we went up to Orlando to see her. While there we got to visit with Grandpa which was a nice surprise. Of course he was in full beard and Kai thought he was Santa. lol  While in Orlando we also got to see almost all of the Rivera clan. Kai got to spend time with Grandma and Pop Pop and his auntie and uncle and a bunch of cousins. He had a blast!

In March, Kai got his "big boy bedroom" set and he loves it. He thinks it is the best thing ever. He helped mom and dad put the stickers on the wall and was so excited to have Lightning McQueen and the gang all over his room.

In April we had a mini family reunion with GG, the Kirkers the Furmans, the Edgars, and some of the Davis clan. It was up at the beach in Jupiter and Kai got to play in the ocean with daddy. Something he hasn't done since last summer. Needless to say he was a little skeptical of the waves at first, but then had a blast playing in them.

Easter was fun this year. Kai got invited to his friend Trey's Easter Egg hunt. He had so much fun running around with the other kids looking for all the eggs. He filled his bucket and still kept going! lol  This is a picture of him and his buddies Trey and Zane right before the hunt started. Look how big the boys are. They have grown so much since being 10 weeks old together.

On Easter morning Kai woke up and found his Spiderman basket on his table. He was so excited at each item he received. He got his first bible. After going through the bucket, we headed out back where Kai found all the eggs and was so excited that he had to open each one immediately to see what was in it. Of course mommy tried to keep him from getting too much candy and instead spoiled him with cars! No wonder he has more cars than we know what to do with them. After the hunt, we went to church with the family and then everyone came over afterwards for fun in the pool and good food. It was a nice and relaxing day.

Recently Kai came home from school all talking up a storm about Spiderman and super heroes. All he wants to watch is the cartoons of Spiderman, Batman, Avengers and so on. He went to stay with Titi Teresa for a night and came home with a Captain America shield and knight helmet. Then while at the store another night, daddy got him the Thor hammer, so now he thinks he is some awesome super hero and who are we to argue with him. lol  Just look at this picture!

He seems to be just growing and growing. He talks in full paragraphs and has an insanely good memory. He has been really attached to daddy lately and we can't figure out if it is because of the pregnancy or if it is because daddy was gone for 2 weeks to China. Either way, it is somewhat nice for mommy to have a break. Other than all this madness, we are still dealing with potty training. We are not having problems with #1, but boy is #2 driving us mad. He would prefer to just go in his underwear. Needless to say, we are going broke buying new underwear all of the time. I'm ready to send him off to some type of potty training boot camp but I am doing my best to be patient with him. I just know he'll come around just in time for Kian to be born and then he'll just revert back to wanting diapers. Ughh, there may be no winning here. Either way, he is still our little man and is one amazing child!
