Moving is such sweet happiness

Hi

Kai is going great these days and so are we.
I mean, yes, he still ferrets around at night after his bottle sometimes, but I think that it's just him teething. It's no wonder that his teeth are coming through though as he loves his tucker.
He started with the bland rice cereal and has since moved onto the bland parsnip (not a hit), as well as pumpkin, sweet potato, carrot, pears, bananas and yogurt (all are loved).

It's getting colder up here for Kai and it is many a morning that I wake up and find snow balls where his hands used to be. Hopefully his new room will be better insulated as it is in the center of the house.

Speaking of our new home, we will be moving this weekend and officially living there on Monday. Kelly and I are so excited to be finally living somewhere we know we'll be proud of. Plus, the place is so darn private and it has a deck, so I can watch and wave as Kai goes careening down the terraced gardens on his bike. I would rather that kind of danger than basically a Highway outside our front door, as we have now.

Some more pics for your perusal;

Can't chat now,
packing stuff.

Up periscope.


Hello
As you can see, little Kai has begun sleeping on his front and if Kelly and I are any indication, he should continue sleeping that way well into his teens.
He has also become more accustomed to lifting his head up and pushing his chest off the ground when he's on his front. You can always expect to see Kai like this when he wakes up from his slumber.



(Above - I couldn't pick just one)

Now, Kai is really paying attention to his surroundings, loving the fact he can hold his head up and take everything in. He's not crawling yet but he has the slow rotation down pat.

We think he's in the very, very early stages of teething but maybe it's just grumpy baby syndrome.
We have started him on solids as for the last few weeks he has looked at us eating and he has smiled and gummed and salivated profusely. He seemed to like his gruel but he hasn't had my Carrot Cake yet.

(Above - So close and yet safari.)


Kelly has started work again and Kai is passed along to Kelly's mum or my sister on those mornings. Their help is immeasurable though I have a feeling they don't mind the task so much.

It's only two weeks until we move and Kelly and I can't wait. I mean, we literally can't.
We spend more time driving past our new home than we do in ours. We have even bought an outdoor setting already, picked out a couch and are choosing new colour schemes.

The great move is coming,
Evan.
