Kai's first animal sounds

Happy Thanksgiving

Kai is 17 months. Every day he surprises me. He knows so much. He know the sounds that a dog, cow and a cat make. Last night he came up to me and started pulling on my shorts. He preceded to lead me into the kitchen and put his sippy cup on the counter where I normally get him a drink of milk. He basically had a conversation w/ me and he didn't even say a word. He said "Mom, come into the kitchen I would like you to fill up my sippy because I need a drink". Here are some recent pics. Love ya' all. And have a great Thanksgiving!!!

I think Kai looks like a little elf in this picture.

Learning to smile on demand.

Gardner Village during Halloween.

Kai is such a joy to our live. He is always so happy. He learns new things every day. He knows almost all of his body parts. He loves being outside and playing w/ Mommy and Jack (the dog). He is going to be a frog and a dragon for Halloween. Kai has always been a very indepentant child, however just recently he has been very clingy to me (Mommy). I'm not sure if it because he is getting 8 (yes, I said 8) teeth or it's just that age. I don't mind it, however I can't let him do it too much--I don't want him to be a "momma's boy".



"Every day is a new exciting adventure...with Kai".

CHOCOLATE....YUMMMM

This first picture was shown on "Good Day Utah" for his first birthday. It was his first TV experience.

Kai really enjoyed his first birthday cake. He started off slowly but once he got into it....well I will let the picture tell the rest. It was so much fun having all of his family there. Thank you everyone who came; and saw my baby turn one.

He is standing really well now. He takes a step every now and then. He knows where is nose, lips and ears are. He can Patty Cake and Itsy, Bitsy Spider all day long.

Happy Birthday to KAI

I can't believe it's already here. Kai is turning one. I just want him to stay little forever. I guess I can't bottle him up and keep him the same forever. We had his portrait done for his birthday. I hope you enjoy.

Viva Las Vegas...

We took a trip down to Las Vegas. Kai did a great job during the drive down. He is a good traveller. We went swimming at the hotel. It was Kai's first time swimming. He liked it, however he didn't want to get to far from Mommy. We went to the strip and did some sight seeing. Of course we went to In and Out Burger several times. We had a really great time. We all got to see Clint (Grandpa).

105 Temp.

Kai was really really sick last week. His temperature was 105 degrees! So Aaron and I took him to the doctors and they ran a bunch of horrible test on him. They took a chest x-ray, urine sample, blood sample and a nose swab. Kai didn't like any of this. They came to the conclusion that he had a virus. He was so sad. The only thing he wanted to do was to cuddle up to Mommy and Daddy. I am happy to report...he is doing much better now. :)

Another tooth

I was playing w/ Kai and I looked down and I found another tooth in his mouth. There was no signs he was teething. It just popped out of now where. He currently has a total of 5 teeth now. My mom says he is almost ready for a big steak.

Kai is CRAWLING...

I can't believe my baby is crawling!!! Heaven help us. He is also starting to climb. I think the real work is about to begin.

I do have to say it has been a blast watching Kai grow and develope. It seems like every day or even every minutes he is learning something new. Currently, he can only move forward. I'm sure it wont be long before he finds the "Forward" button.

Sitting outside on a beautiful February day

I love watching Mommy and Daddy washing the car as I play in the sun.

I look tough!!!

Mommy did my hair and she thinks I look tough!

It's great to be the life of the party...

Kai and I attended a friend's Bridal Shower and he was (next to the bride) the life of the party.

HAPPY BABY!!!

Kai has no clue he is about to get three shots at the doctors office. Poor little guy. We went for his 6 mo. check up and he is a healthy little guy. His growth is slowing down a little, which is good. He'd be monster if he kept the speed he was growing at when he was first born.
