At ten months, two-teeth Kai is crawling, taking steps while holding onto furniture, very curious about the world (especially cords, plugs and electronics) and getting into everything! Kai is also a stair climbing star, although he has no idea how to down climb yet, which poses some problems and lots of monitoring and gates. I'm also pretty sure he will be walking soon!
Regarding language, he jabbers away all day but I'm not convinced he's said a 'real' word yet. He often gabbers noises that sound like Lila, Dada and something like "ora", however, I'm not sure if they count as 'real' words quite yet (or am I just waiting until he says "Mama" for it to count as a 'real' word?).
He is also an eating machine and although he still nurses throughout the day, he also eats 3-4 meals of oatmeal mush, bananas, baby food, eggs, meat, cheese, noodles, strawberries, rice, etc., etc. We joke that his daily caloric intake exceeds Cora's, and we might in fact be correct.
Kai STILL does not sleep through the night and is up usually once or twice to nurse. Hopefully one of these nights soon he will make it all night long ... Luckily he is a fairly good napper and takes a good long one in the morning and usually one in the afternoon as well.
I'm very lucky and am still able to stay home with the kids. Somedays are very long, but being with them right now midst all of our changes and while Kai is still nursing is very special.
When we haven't been visiting with friends and family (we've had a lot of great company lately and have also been down to Fort Collins quite a bit) we've been spending our summer days playing in Cora's awesome play closet in our neat new home, taking walks and runs around town to the lake or to the playground. We also enjoy going to story times at the library, playing in the little plastic swimming pool in the backyard, going on hikes and generally exploring and settling into our new life in tiny, adorable Georgetown.

| Swimming with Kai and Cora at Nana's pool is the best! Kai loves the water! |

| This is our attempt to eat out. Not very relaxing. |

| Such a happy little guy. |
