Discovering the Finer Things in Life

Kai made his first air travel debut in October for a weekend of wineries, crab feasts and distinguished museum explorations, all in fine company.  

Visiting Aunt Marisa, Uncle Mike and adorable Pollock was well worth the cranky plane rides. (Although, it was only three hours, NOTHING compared to my ridiculously long flights with Cora, so we managed just fine!) Kai was a bit out of his element, and was teething, so he basically just wanted mom to hold him the entire time! Nonetheless, it was a wonderful and delightful visit! Can't wait for next time!!

First Hush Puppy!

Not a fan of Old Bay.

Love!

Wanting mom.

Appropraite Pollock cuddles.

He's Walking ...

And ... at 14 Months Kai is off! He is so proud of his walking (and climbing) and honestly, nothing is safe with this little kiddo! He runs around now like crazy then climbs on EVERYTHING - the stair banisters, the table, the counter, and he even does pull ups on the refrigerator handle ... phew. We have our hands full for a while!!

Besides chasing Kai around, we've also been having so much fun with him. He is curious and doesn't miss a beat. He loves to be outside and play with Cora, Tanner and Lila. He still isn't talking much, but he says the occasional "Dadda," "Mama" and "Lila." He's good at grunting, squealing and pointing obnoxiously though at what he wants until he gets it, so his communication is working. 

Kai is a social little dude, waves and smiles at everyone, but still mostly wants mom, all the time. 

Trail blazer!

Princess Ariel and her Sea Turtle! 

Hehe.

Cheering on the Rams!

First Ski Pass!! 

"Welcome to Your Organized Home." HAHAHA

Too much love!!

Somehow he will get me back for doing this to him ...

But he's just so dang cute as a little turtle!

Practicing walking with Buddy!
