Day 29: Mornings

This month was hard to find one a month.  Here we are looking for creative ways to keep Kai preoccupied so we can get ready for work!

Day 22: Laser Pointers

We discovered Kai likes the laser pointer as much as the kitty!

Day 20: Bath Time

Our little boy, loves bath time.  Here he is splashing away in the tub!

Day 19: Wine

We enjoyed ourselves today at Pride Winery.  Here is an okay picture of the two of us.  Kai was so well behaved, and as he should be for a 9.5 mth old.  The people were shocked at how quiet and entertained he was.  So, today, we are thankful to still be able to do wine tastings and now with Kai!

Day 18: Coffee

We love our Neighborhood coffee shop, here the whole crew went out to get some Blue Bottle

Day 17: Helpers

Here the boys are working together to rehang our kitchen cabinet door. Kai already is right there ready to help with his hammer.

Day 16: Uncles

Uncle Chris is in town!! Kai warmed up very quickly and has a new favorite person!

Day 15: the Zoo

A favorite as you may know! Each time we go he gets more and more excited... Kai that is.

Day 14: Tunnels

Need I say more? The two are adorable!

Day 13: Washing Machines

Kai LOVES the washing machine! Here he is watching his cloths get clean.

Day 12: First Christmas Tree

We are thankful to have a little one to celebrate the holidays with now.  It is so much fun to step up and decorate and plan our holidays for Kai.  While it maybe early we both feel the holiday cheer in full effect!!  This year Kai is really into birds (he says bir... bir..) and so we bought and decorated an all birdie tree!    Here he is on his introduction to the birdies.  

Day 11: Abalone

We love Abalone! Ahmad and Chris at Fort Ross!

Day 10: Baby Laughter

This is maybe our all time favor video of Kai.   He had some uncontrollable laughter as we played with a kitty.  So, for today, we are thankful for baby laughter!

Day 9: Girlfriends

At school, Kai has some lady friends.  Here Hailey came to sit next to Kai.  They hugged (or she hugged Kai) and Kai tried to Kiss (or eat) Hailey.  Ashlyn was monitoring everything close by.  Ashlyn usually gets really excited to see Kai, she knows how to say his name and waves Hello and Goodbye!

 

Day 8: Music

Kai is so cute with almost any instrument.  Here he is at school playing with the new pianos.

The program at 2nd Gen has Gymboree (a children program) come into the classroom twice a week, where on one of the days the theme is music.  Here Kai is always up front and center playing on the drum or the tambourine, etc.  His teachers often let us know how he prefers to play with the musical instruments in the room.  This lead to us purchasing a drum and xylophone for him at home.  

 

Day 7: Birthdays

Everyone who knows me well knows, I love birthdays.  For Kai we celebrate every month!  To my 9 month old!  We love you!!!

Day 6: Voting Please

We are thankful for our voice and the right to vote!  We had fun voting with Kai today! 

Day 5: Toy Stores

It is so much fun taking Kai into Toy Stores these days.  He interacts more and more with the items.  I guess this will be short lived but for now, I am happy to get such smiles!!

Day 4: Rock Climbing

We love Rock Climbing and we think Kai does too!  This post is to our little to be rock climber!

Day 3: Kitchen Helpers

Day 2: Weekday Mornings Alone

Ahmad was traveling again this week.  I woke up today, Friday and proceeded with our normal routine... Diaper changes (yes, multiple in an hour span in the morning), dressing and moving to the playroom.  While taking care of Kai is more overwhelming alone, it also gives me some special alone time with him.   The mornings definitely move slower, the house is more quiet and I get so much less accomplished, but it is this that I really enjoy.  This morning he sat jiggling his toy and laughing... He kept looking at me when he jiggled the toy caterpillar as he was trying to get me to laugh as well... which of course I was... It's these mornings I love and will cherish.. When things slow down, it's quiet and I get to just enjoy the little man!

Day 1: Cars!

This month I am going to make up for all the lack of posting I did in October.  I will start each off with something we are thankful for since we are in the month of November.

Today Day 1, it is cars we are thankful for baby boys playing with cars.  Check out this video of Kai making vroom vroom noise.  We just discovered this new found ability!
