It's sunny...can we go out and play???
WOW!! Yesterday marked 2 months since Kai came home to us! When we look at our little guy today, we see a much different person than the one we met in San Francisco 2 months ago. Today we have an outgoing, happy (usually), adventurous little boy; far from the scared little baby we first met. "No fear" would be a great way to describe him. Of course, that's good and bad. The good: he's willing to face any challenge head on (unless it involves a sippy cup). The bad: he has no clue where his boundaries are (as in...the edge of the couch). When we take him to a new place, he's shy for about 2 seconds before he wants to go off and play!
As the weather has been improving in our neck of the woods, we've been able to go on more walks and even stopped to swing a few times! At first, he was not so sure about it, but now he loves it. He also recently took his first trip to the dog park, and of course he loved it! He got such a kick out of watching the doggies run around and play.
Over the past week or so, he's been running to greet Daddy as he arrives home from work. He seems to know, if Daddy's not home and he hears the garage door open, it's him! The first time it happened we were across the house, Kai heard the garage door, got a huge smile, and off he went...in search of Daddy!
We're convinced that his first "real" English word is "yea". Great, slang. If you ask him a question, most times he'll answer with a very distinct "yea". We weren't sure if we were imagining this, but grandparents have confirmed that they also heard it. As Joe said the other night...no more secrets!
He was doing really well on his solid foods, but a rebound of his cold, and some major teething have set us back a little. As for sleeping through the night, I'm happy to report good news! Well, I guess "sleeping" is not really the right term, he's still waking up, but probably 6 out of the last 8 nights, we have not had to get up with him or give him a bottle! WOO-HOO!! He's just woken up, maybe fussed a little but mostly babbled (most likely talking to his doggy), then gone back to sleep on his own.
Enjoying a banana.
I thought he didn't like bananas because he wouldn't eat the little bite-size pieces I was giving him, he'd just spit them out. But no, he just wanted a huge hunk to hold onto, and eventually smash into banana mush (and some actually made it in!). I restrained myself from taking a picture of that lovely mess.
So, there you go, a nice update on us. Thanks for checking in!
