Look who's crawling!!

Mommy and Daddy said they can "officially" say that I am crawling now...as though pulling myself around on my elbows wasn't enough!

Here are two videos of my amazing feat...now that I can get around, I usually head straight for the dog toys (much more exciting than my own!)

I also have 6 teeth now - which I have found can be used to my advantage. I bit mommy on the hand the other day when she was putting my diaper on (I no longer like to have my diaper changed and will try to stop the act at all costs!). I also bit mommy on the shoulder when I was snuggled up, ready to go to sleep. Not sure why...it just "happened".

I like to bite my toys in the bathtub, too!


Here I am telling Mommy it's time to stop taking pictures and get me out of the bathtub...oh yeah, did mention I can pull myself up now??


Just a few quick other pictures...me and daddy, hanging out:


Hanging out with Smokey (look, he's just about ready to give me a kiss - I am not always crazy about that!!).

That's it for now...stay warm!!

Christmas Pictures

We wanted to share these Christmas pictures that we had taken of Kai this weekend...

Fun facts about Kai...

Since Kai hasn't told you any fun facts about himself, it's my duty as his mother to embarrass him. Here goes:

Fact 1: Kai can now blow raspberries....adding increasingly to the slobber on his chin

Fact 2: Kai is babbling a lot more now...especially when he cries. It's as though he's trying to complain to us through his tears!

Fact 3: Kai now has TWO bottom teeth and I think one may be ready to break through up top!

Fact 4: Kai tries to eat his Gerber puffs like his momma eats her popcorn - by the handful. He takes an entire handful, puts his fist in his mouth, then tries to open his fist. He then takes his fist out of his mouth, opens his hand, looks at the puffs and you can see the wheels turning...."I don't understand. I can open my hand here...why doesn't it work when it's in my mouth???"

Fact 5: Kai LOVES bath time! No matter how crabby he is, if you put him in the bath, he is happy, happy, happy. He loves to splash in the water and play with his "flashy quackers"...ducks that light up when they are in water. His latest move is to just lie back in the water and hang out. I think he will love swimming!

Fact 6: Kai is amused by the pets. Every time he sees Zippy, he squeals and laughs. He's buds with Smokey and will often lie either next to him or partially on top of him. He will stop whatever he is doing if one of the kitties walks in the room...just to see what they are up to!

Fact 7: Kai is always content in the Baby Bjorn. He has often helped Momma vacuum and do laundry! Doesn't look comfortable to me, but hey - if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

That's it for now.

Thanksgiving

Hi There!


It's been a while since I updated my Blog (Daddy is always hogging the computer... I rarely get to use it), so I thought I'd share some pictures from Thanksgiving.

Here Granny is feeding me something tasty:


My special Thanksgiving bib!


Hey, this is fun! Whoa, what do you mean it is only once a year?


Okay, I'm ready for a little walk (or a stroll, as it were) after that big meal... time to bundle up!


You know what they say - "All Work and No Play"...


Well, time to get going... wait a minute, what happened to my hat???

DADDY! Why are you so silly?

Bye-bye, Granny!

So long, Grandpa...

You mean the fun isn't over? I get to see more relatives? Hi, Pappy!


Happy Thanksgiving, Lao Lao!


Mommy and me:


Hanging out with Aunt Patty...


I finally get to meet my cousin Shane:


I remember Cousin Shelby... she said I was the cutest baby ever!


I'll bet you a nap that I can make Pappy laugh...


Who's got my feet? It's the Momma!

Snuggle time with Gammie...


Please... lift me up one more time, Shelby! Oh, how embarrassing... my belly is showing!


Ok, on the count of three, everybody say "Ahhhhh!!!" 1... 2... 3...


Time to change into my jammies...


Hello Aunt Jan!


Time to go... Oh, no... not again! Mommy, I think Daddy's silliness is starting to rub off on you! (or is it the other way around? I heard that Daddy was very serious before he met you...)


Now, this is really getting out of hand! I'm going to start charging 25 cents to borrow my hat!

Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!
