He's testing for weaknesses.
Hay
It's amazing watching Kai develop. He weighs 7.24 Kilos and is 68 cm long.
Just last week he stared blankly during peek-a-boo but now he gets it and gets the giggles good. Plus the little boy is rolling.
If we put him down, eventually he'll roll over, whether to get closer to something or not. He does it so often that it is only after he's on his tummy that he realizes sometimes that he doesn't want to be on his tummy. He squawks out for help because he can't roll back and when we set him straight, he smiles and then rolls back over. He'll even accidentally roll too far and go off his rug onto the floor but that's okay since it's made out of Pine and that's a soft wood.
As you may have guessed, we're moving.
Our new home is in a peaceful area of Maryborough and has a garden you have to see to believe. Nearly all the work is done (pink walls) and we know that it will be such a lovely home for Kai (and us) to grow up in. We will let you all know of any more details as we become sure of them.
As you can see the cot is more of an amusement park these days than just somewhere to sleep.
He is usually happy to explore his cage but will squawk out for help when he gets stuck. Usually when he is on his tummy or (and) up against the bars.
May we all be so adventurous

Four Non-Leap Year Februarys
Hello all,
It just seems to get out of my hands these posts of ours and before I know it, it's been a couple of weeks since the last, though I have excuses.
Well, Kai is still a bundle of joy, it's just now he's a wiggly, bundle of joy.
He's been lifting his bum of the ground and then pushing with his legs. This, combined with bringing his legs to his chest and turning, has meant we can usually expect Kai not to be in the same position in the cot as when we left him.
His head where his feet where, no problem.
Upside down with his legs out the side bars. Been there, done that.
This has lead to all sorts of nicknames for our lovely son like Fox, Wiggler and Ferret.
His routine thankfully is really on track now, thanks to Kelly, and Kai naps and feeds exactly when he is hungry. This has meant that Kai usually grabs a long nap at eight o'clock and then a couple of shorter ones throughout the rest of the day. He's been a lot easier to put down as well now that he knows what's coming.
At night, after his last bottle, I give him a shower then sing to him in the nursery. By the second chorus, I pop him into bed and he generally doesn't even complain or need us to stay with him. Some times he'll wake up before he's had a good sleep so we'll shush, rub his chest and he quietens.
At least with all of this Kai is somewhat predictable. Well, after sixteen weeks he is. Or maybe we're just coming to understand him better.
These are some pics from the last few weeks:
(Above - This is Auntie Jenna who went two months without a cuddle.)
(Above - This is Kelly's Aunty's Baby Chloe, who was born three days before Kai)
(Above - Having fun with the Great-Gran and Gramps, and also his cous, Bobby)
(Above - We can't afford real toys. I hope Kelly washed that sock.)
As you can see with Kelly being on Maternity leave, she has a lot of time on her hands. That should come to an end soon as she will be starting work again after Easter. I know she needs to do it but, my goodness, isn't Kai going to be smothered with love when she gets home.
We love you all,
Evan & Kelly.
