Need for Celebration!






We are proud parents of a very healthy boy! Kai's 2 month doctor's appointment was a relief as well as a celebration point for us newbee-parents. He has grown like a weed since our last visit. He is now 9.5 pounds (last Friday, which means 10 or more now), 21 inches long, and his head circumference has grown 3 inches since birth. The Dr. was impressed. His growth chart is between the 5th and 10th percentile for term babies and if she adjusts his age for being premie, he is above the 50th for everything!!! Go Kai! He was a brave soul on the visit also....getting 3 shots and a very yucky tasting medicine. Only a brief outburst of pain!!!! His oxygen saturations were around 97% which means his lungs are getting very strong!

So to celebrate Kai's progress....we joined family in Breckenridge for the night! It was a well-needed get-away from the house and is an excellent place to kick back! Although we kept on our toes with SEVERAL exhilerating games of Catch Phrase! If you were a fly on the wall, you would've thought we were playing the OUTBURST game!

In other news (and to avoid a ridiculous amount of posts from the same day), we cut our first family Christmas tree. Kai is becoming quite mobile in his many slings as you can see!! He even stayed in one of them to help me decorate the tree also....not good for the back!

AND, last but not least, here's a couple shots of me playing "Anne Geddes baby" with Kai while he's naked!!!! Fun for him! Next time I'll try to dress him up for the shots! Enjoy!
