Week Fourteen

Has it really only been fourteen weeks since our little guy was born?!  Bryon and I were commenting just the other day that this has been one of the most eventful years in our lives so far.  It seems that every week has brought something new...sometimes sad, sometimes hard and often times exciting...into our lives.  It's hard to believe that a year ago we didn't even know that we were going to be parents, or have a new job, or be looking for our first home, and now we're doing all of the above.  What a joy! 

Kai is growing and changing by leaps and bounds.  This week he had his three month birthday.  He seems to be getting chubbier by the day, and his little personality is really starting to shine through.  Sadly, it's evident that he inherited some of his mother's short temper.  Just the other night he decided to throw a little screaming fit with Bryon.  A few minutes later Bryon emerged from the room and reported that Kai had gotten his goat, and believe me it's hard to get Bryon's goat!  Not many people have succeeded, but Kai is now one of the lucky few.  Thankfully though, Kai also inherited Bryon's mellowness and most of the time he's a happy and fun-loving baby.

My mom was here until Friday this week, and as I said last week it was really great to have her here.  This week she helped me finish a mobile that I've been making for Kai.  Thanks mom for spurring on to finally finish this project!  Kai absolutely loves it, and will lie in his crib just laughing at it and talking to it.  That makes the hours of rolling felt balls and stitching felt fish worthwhile.

My mom also bought Kai an exer-saucer that we found at a consignment store here in Sandpoint. (Have I mentioned that Kai is practically the poster-child for consignment stores, hand-me-downs, and homemade items?  We love that!)  Kai loves this gift from grandma and it keeps him happy while I'm trying to make dinner, dry my hair or get anything done around here :)

Finished!

Loving the exer-saucer!
