Hmmmm. . . who do I look like?

It's funny, I think people always say that children look like the person they're standing next to. For Kai, people look at the light hair and ask where that came from. Lately I've been tempted to tell them that we rescued him from a Swedish Orphanage. Looking at this photo, the resemblance is pretty clear.

A beautiful day!

Over Memorial Day weekend, Brendt's cousin Cade married his longtime sweetheart Shauna in a elegant, personal and playful celebration at Cade's parent's home in Tucson, Arizona. With the sun setting over the mountains they said vows that were very much their own. The occasion also brought together all the Wilson cousins for the first time in quite a while along with all their kids. Here are a few of the highlights from that wonderful event.

Giddy Up!

While rocking out to a little Men at Work, Kai jumped on the Blue Dog (a favorite birthday hand-me-down) and took off.

Good Morning World

In the mornings, Kai is at first snugly and then happy. Here he is after he hopped into his chair, a family heirloom that his papou had as a child. Don't you just love footie PJ's? They're pretty easy to find up until side 4T, after that it is a bit of a trick! We can enjoy them for a few more years without much hassle.

Belly B

One of Kai's favorite books is Sandra Boyton's Belly Button Book. Likewise, he has an affinity for this part of his anatomy. You'll often find him wandering around the house with two hands firmly on his Bely B, Beeboo, bee-beep, you choose the name, the fun is still the same.

Playing at Nana's

Kai got the great fortune to spend almost 2 weeks in Arizona in May. The first one with his Grandma, and then the 2nd with his Nana. Here are a few photos of Kai and his cousin Maya playing with water in the atrium at Nana's house.

School's out for Summer!

Yesterday was the last day of school at Steele Canyon HS. Brendt will be doing a little Daddy Day Care with Kai this summer and I'm sure there will be many days on the beach with my guys, like this one. This happened to be during our family party on Kai's first birthday.

Bye bye helmet!

So, it's official, Kai's head is round(er). After 4 months of Starband treatment, Kai's head is significantly less flat than it once was. Hallelujah!

This photo was at his final session where they took these amazing computerized photos in 360 degrees to show his improvement. It's noticeable to say the least. I know it's a strange photo, but it is a milestone that we greatly celebrated.

Wonder where the blog went?

Ahhhh, so Kai is so very active these days. It only takes watching us one time for him to figure out how to open a cabinet, drawer, closet, etc. So the possibilites are ENDLESS. :-)

Better every day!

Kai is getting more confident with his walking every day!
Enjoy

P.S. Loving the belly!

1 Year Photos

As if Kai wasn't photographed enough, we did a 1 year old photo shoot.

Just because I like it.

There are so many photos of Kai. I like this one because

a.) it's cute

&

b.) it looks like our friend's son Clayton (on right)

Clayton is exactly one year older than Kai, so I feel like I'm looking into Kai's photos next year when I get photos Clayton.

If only the Urbanos lived closer! Guess we'll have to make a visit to SF soon!

Out of Order!

So I'm sorely late on blog posts. Never mind the excuses. Lets get caught up. . . .

Kai's walking! And yes, we're bribing him with graham crackers. . .

My bow wow buddy. . .

Kai and Darwin seem to have a good child/dog relationship. Darwin knows to be gentle and at the same time wary of Kai. They are both trying to figure out the game of fetch these days. Here are a few photos of our canine friends.

Kai understands that the leash goes on Darwin's collar, but he doesn't quite get how.

The two boys, planning their escape.

Darwin with our friend Ernie's 16 week old puppy Burt. Yes, both names are real and yes, he is already bigger than Darwin.

YUM!

Kai is quite the eater these days. He eats just about everything we put in front of him, with a special affinity for crunchy things like Cheerios and crackers. He's even been known to nosh on a little sushi (cooked fish of course). Here is donning a little broccoli.

Double Dunk

At the end of February, Kai & Addison were baptised here in La Mesa. It was a wonderful day with a small group of friends and family.

Auntie Koma Comes to Visit

Our friend Koma came in to visit from NYC. She was here to meet Kai, and then there was something about a rugby tournie too. . . :-)

Fun with cousin Maya

Cousin Maya lives close by, so sometimes she & Kai get a double dunk bathtime!

The acceleration things

So when did someone hit fast forward on our lives? I feel like just yesterday we were in AZ watching Addison be born and now she's almost 3 months old already. Today Kai and I will be leaving on our trip to Australia, but I've set up a few posts to release as we're away. Hope you enjoy!

Here is a photo of Kai, with Addison, and their Grandma & Papa when we went to visit the first week of February.

And here is Kai playing with Aunt Katie. Soooo big!
