6 Month Milestone

Wow....time sure has flown by. Kai turned 6 months just a little over a week ago and it is completely amazing to see how far he has come and how much he has grown. He is extremely active and loves to play on the floor so he can scoot and roll all over the place. He has now taught himself how to get on all four and rock back and forth. So of course Eli and I are worried that we will need to child proof the house sooner than later. He is sitting on his own and eating his vegetables like a champ. We plan to start him on some fruits shortly. Kai is such a happy child and he has definitely brought joy to our family.

1st Christmas

What a holiday season. We spent so much time with our family and enjoyed every minute. Kai soaked it all in and was much more active with his Christmas gifts then we could have ever imagined. Although he wasn't quite sure what they were, he was intrigued by the wrapping paper and the noise it made when he ripped it. Of course, all wrapping paper and gifts were christened by Kai as each one went straight to his mouth. lol

Thanksgiving and beyond...

As we gear up for Christmas and New Years, we didn't want you to miss out on Kai's first Thanksgiving and 5th month birthday. He spent his first Thanksgiving at The Edgar's home with his great grandma and great aunts and uncles who he had not met. It was a wonderful feast mostly prepared by Teresa. With a little turkey in my system that night, after nursing Kai, he slept through the whole night and even slept in the next morning until 7. :o) Wish I could have turkey every night! lol

Kai turned 5 months earlier in December and we just can't believe how much he is growing! He continues to amaze Eli and I every day. He is still a talker! (Must get it from his Auntie Shelley...ha ha). More recently he has learned to turn over from his back to his front and he is scooting all over the house. He is really doing great with tummy time. We even joke because he does lots of push-ups, planks and crunches. So of course we know he will be a natural athlete...lol We are looking forward to the holidays and spending it with our little man.

4 months old

Wow, Kai turned 4 months old a couple of weeks ago and we can't believe how time has flown by. He is now 14.1 pounds and is 25 inches long (yeah, we still don't know where the height is coming from..lol) He is really becoming such a curious little man. He has learned how to make raspberries and loves to show off with them. He constantly is reaching for things and putting them straight in his mouth. We ventured into rice cereal over the last couple of weeks and he seems to be doing well with it, well what little of it that actually makes it into his mouth and stays there. One of his favorite things is bath time! He loves sitting in his little bath and playing with the water, oh and he is fascinated with the sink faucet.

This weekend we had our first big sickness. Poor little man was fighting a fever on and off since Thursday and we ended up at the Urgent Care on Saturday night. Well, it turns out he had Roseola. All is good now, he does have the rash still but is back to his normal, happy self. Yay!

First Halloween

Kai had a full day on Halloween. First, he had baby class where he got to spend an hour with a group of his friends singing, playing and doing tummy time. Then we took him to a small get together where he was so curious to see the other little kids in costumes. Yet, it didn't keep him from falling fast asleep at exactly 8:30 (his usual bed time).

Talking, Exploring, Visiting

Our little man has become quite the talker and explorer these days.

Kai exploring Daddy's face

This past weekend, Kai took his first trip to Orlando with us. He was such a popular guy and had many visitors. It was a great weekend as he got to spend time with lots of family and friends.

3 Months!!!

Wow, our boy is 3 months now and we have seen some new things and it has been fun. He sits up in his Bumbo, he burps on his own, he occasionally laughs, he grabs things, he loves to smile and talk, and he shows more playful tendencies by hiding his face (like peek-a-boo) in my chest when you talk to him. Oh and he loves to stand-up.



He is now almost 13 pounds and he is 24 inches long, which is 36% of his dad's height and 40% of his mom's . His memory is getting stronger and he knows Jen and I just by our voices. His nails grow very fast, it seems like everyday we have to cut them and the last time I accidentally got a little bit of his skin. He made sure I was aware of what I did and I felt bad the whole day.
