Auntie Brini

(By the way, I have no idea why this image is so small-- I tried and tried to make it a normal size-- really, I did, Sabrina!)

Sabrina flew into town from Uganda, West Africa to meet lil' Kai (and to see pregnant Ally too!)-- Here are some photos.

Movie

Check out this video! It shows Kai giggling and Joe acting a bit crazy--it's worth it for a laugh!

Kai's video

Piano

Kai is already loving the piano-- I bet he'll pass me up in talent soon!

Joe's close friend from college, Todd Smith, came to Minneapolis after the reunion weekend to hang out with us. We didn't want him to leave! He is an incredible guy and Kai was madly in love with him. Some days, Todd was the only one who could get Kai to sleep. Check out Todd's photography website. We are lucky that we had a professional photographer capturing Kai moments.

Grinnell Reunion

We went back to Grinnell College for Joe's 15th reunion. We had a great visit! Kai was a superstar, hanging out with everyone and winning the cutest and sweetest baby award. Here is Kai all decked out like a big guy.

Thank God for slings-- we love this sling.

It took us over 7 hours to get home (it's a 4 1/2 hour drive). Kai had some alternative plans for us-- including walking in the rain up a country road.

Papi and Kai

Ok, so Joe and I came home from bringing Kai to the doctor. Joe was changing Kai's diaper. I came upstairs and found Joe wearing this pirate eye patch. He had taken it from the doctor's office (where they use it for eye exams) and was running around entertaining Kai with his pirate accent. Haven't heard it yet? You better ask Joe to enertain you someday!

We love this bam-bam leopard caveman outfit for Kai. Joe and Kai are showing their cavemen stuff!

Joe and Kai at Kai's first rock concert (Ok, so it was a kid's concert at our favorite bookstore, Wild Rumpus)

Here we are just this week at Hidden Falls Park in St. Paul. We try to go have a picnic at least once a week-- it's a fun way to get outside and let Kai roll around on his blanket. This is the park where I saw a goat on a leash!

3-4 months old

I found some photos we haven't posted on the blog, so here are some goodies of Kai between 3-4 months old. I can't believe how much he has grown. He is 5 months now and I'll post some current photos-- the lil' guy is big and has lost tons of his hair. He is also laughing so much-- Joe and I can't get enough of his belly laughs.

3 months

So, Kai is now 5 months old, but we haven't been posting any photos for awhile, so here are some goodies from between when he was 3-4 months old.

I'm done with work now and Kai and I get to spend the whole summer together-- hopefully, I'll be posting a lot more photos.

For now, enjoy! You'll see that Kai is getting so big-it's amazing!

Jen visits!

Our favorite Montessori Teacher, Mom, Friend, and Companion, Jen, came to town for Kt's wedding from Seattle. We had so much fun with Jen as she met Kai and gave us valuable advice to guide him through this first year of fun!

Mother's Day 2007

My first Mother's Day! Kai has just begun to roll and to stick all of his fingers (and anything else he can find) into his mouth. On Mother's Day, he was under the weather and initiated Joe and I into parenthood by puking all over us numerous times. But, he is feeling better now!
