1 Year Update

Kai had a wonderful first birthday! Thanks to all the friends and family for the happy birthday wishes. Kai's Kodiak friends celebrated his birthday by bringing him found objects like rocks, shells, and leaves. Dad made pumpkin spice cupcakes and mom broke the mixer making the frosting. Dad also made Kai a set of wooden blocks.

Kai is 19 pounds 5 ounces and 28 1/2 inches at 1 year old. He loves books! He now brings us the books he wants to read and turns the pages. His 5th tooth is pushing through on the top right. We can make out about 6 words he uses regularly, "dough" - dog, "chi chi" - chicken, "sh sh" - shower, "ma" - mom, "da, da, da" - dad, and "ba" - ball.

Birthday Boy!

11 Month Update

Kai weighs 18 pounds 8 ounces and is 27 inches. He is now self feeding and has taken 4 steps on his own. He went for a skiff ride to Geoff and Christy's cabin this month and still loves rocks. He is due for a car seat upgrade and we have been researching. We are looking at the Maxi Cosi Piori.

10 Month Catch Up

Kai returned to his Kodiak home at 10 months. Two teeth came in and he started crawling and cruising. He helped dad in the garden and went to the fair where he met a real cowboy for his first horse ride.
