Sledding With Kai

We didn't do a lot of 'sledding' per say. But we had fun. Kai got to play in the snow and Jay tried teaching Gus how to be a sled dog!! Ha ha!

Go Gus Go!!

It's the Birthday Boy!

Kai turned one today!! What??? Already???? I know, that's what I say!

Picasso in Training

I wanted to do a fun activity with Kai for his birthday. So I found a recipe to make non-toxic finger paints and let him loose!!! He loved it!!!


This is Mom with Kai showing him how fun it is to get messy!



This is Kai's little friend Emma Harrison.... isn't she a cutie??



Yup.... my kid is a Picasso in training!!!



There's always time to stop for a pose!!




Time for clean up!

Here's the recipe for the finger paint in case anyone else is as daring!!
Stir together 1 Cup cold water with 1/4 cup corn starch in a saucepan. Whisk over low heat for five minutes or until it thickens and clears. Whisk in 1 tablespoon light corn syrup. Separate into dishes and then add non-toxic tempera paint to each dish. Let cool on the counter.

Presents Galore

Presents abound!! Kai had fun opening his gifts. Each one was exciting... by the end of it all he was so happy with all of them he kept going from present to present. Thank you to all of our family who sent gifts for our little guy!!

Demolition of Cake

Cake time!!! Kai had no problem shoveling the cupcake in!


Here Dad..... want some???

Happy Birthday Kai!!!!

Wanna hear Kai laugh hard?

Kai Laughing with Gus, he loves this dog.

Tornado Kai

Okay so either Kai's energy is multiplying by the second or mine is draining by the second. Knowing my luck, it's both. Great. So our home constantly looks like a bomb went off as of late. I spend all day cleaning up and you would never know. Kai's new favorite past times; pulling clothes out of drawers, throwing diapers across the room, emptying the bookshelf, spreading all toys as far across the apartment as possible.... he sure is a happy boy! Life is great to him!! Mom is exhausted, but Kai is just so happy! Which is very good. He still thinks Gus is the greatest toy ever. I got a great video of Gus and him playing... I'll have Jay load it up next time he has a spare moment (don't hold your breath).

Kai also seems to be done with baby food. He won't eat much but if I give him my food.... he eats TONS!!! LOL As long as he's eating, that skinny little kid! He loves almost all food, not a fan of banana's.

Just a few updates I thought I would share!
