Visit from Bawai

This past week Kai had a visit from his Bawai and his Auntie Maddy. He also had the week off of school for this fun week where he got to spend plenty of Mommy and Daddy time. his past week he also turned 7 months and any day now he will be crawling all over the place.



Kai is starting to show a little more expression and he is laughing a lot more these days. he loves to scoot backwards and he moves in circles sideways, but there is no forward crawling yet. In his crib he is all over the place but seems to be sleeping well through the evening.



It was great to see bawai and her girls together again and the egg rolls were awesome!



It seems like yesterday when Kai came into this world and before we know it he will be destroying everything in my house. We have so much work to do in order to child proof the place.



Until then I will enjoy every minute and take him to any and every child development class so we can get and document as much as I can!

Throughout the last few weeks, we have had a chance to visit with many family members. Some of them met Kai for the first time.

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.

Constantly Changing

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).
