Kai's First Hair Cut

SO...I knew we should get Kai a haircut eventually, but he has so little hair, I didn't want to take away from this precious commodity. However, after we took him in for his first haircut this past week, I realized we should have gone a long time ago for two reasons. One, he looked a little crazy pre-haircut, (see BEFORE picture below). Second, it might be the most fun thing we have ever done...If you have never been to "Cookie Cutter" with your little one, you are missing out. You walk in and the first thing you do is choose a cartoon for your child to watch on their own personal DVD player. Next, you choose a seat (rocket, airplane, horse, mini-car), and then if that weren't enough...you get a balloon and a sucker at the end...WHO KNEW GETTING YOUR HAIRCUT COULD BE SO MUCH FUN!?!

BEFORE

AFTER

Kai keeps asking when he can go again. :)

P.S. Today is Kai's First Birthday (pictures to come later), however I wanted to mention that it turns out Birthdays rock when you are planning them for a little one...I am pretty jazzed that this is the first of many to come.

Spring Fun!

Between Doggies, Swings, Slides, kindermusic, and a visit from Grandma Judy and Grandpa Chuck, Kai couldn't possibly have a better spring.

Tooth

Kai's bottom right tooth started seeping it's way out of his gum a couple of weeks ago, but it wasn't very visible until this week. It's amazing to me that he has eaten everything in site for the past few months without teeth??? He LOVES food. Just think how much he will love food with teeth...HELLO Steak, Apples, Candy and other scrumptious goodies that you need teeth to eat.

Spring has Sprung (sort of)

Last weekend we saw the sun for 2 days straight...YAY!!! We are on the cusp of spring. We spent as much time outside as we possibly could. Still a little cold (hence the coats), but we will take the cold as long as the sun is shining. Hope it's sunny where ever you are.

SEE KAI RUN

Kai has been wearing the same pair of velcro/strap baby shoes since he was 4 months old. Last week we finally decided to upgrade to a new pair of "big boy" shoes. Best part is...the new shoes were named after Kai (or atlease A KAI). So, the next time you need a cute pair of baby shoes, check out the brand "See Kai Run".

Oh, and don't tell our Kai that his shoes weren't named after him, he's REALLY excited about having his own shoe brand. :)

Rainy Day Blues

Kai and I have anxiously awaited the arrival of Spring. We thought it was here. We were wrong. It rained and snowed for 9 hours straight on Saturday. Kai stood at the window ledge for a good chunk of that time watching the rain/snow fall. Oh Spring, we love you. Please come soon.

New Cousin!!!
