WHAT THE 3 MONTHS??

Where has time gone?? My little baby boy is SO OLD!! Three months ago I had no idea the joy that would be brought into my life and now I live for this little boy!

A lot has changed with Kai in the last three months...he LOVES people and constantly examines facial expressions and responds to voices, he smiles A LOT as long as he looks at Mom first to see if its okay with me :), he started teething and has two little teeth that are giving him grief! Kai LOVES to be bounced and LOVES getting 100% of your attention! He is determined to roll and everyday he gets better and better! A few days ago we started letting Kai soothe himself to sleep and last night was FINALLY a success with only 20 minutes of crying and 6 hours straight of sleeping....now all I have to do is hope and pray that it continues!!!! Sadly Kai now weighs 15 lbs and is now wearing 3-6 Month clothes and even some of those are too small!

As always we are having so much fun with Kai and he teaches us something EVERY DAY!

As you can see I can't get enough of his smiles!!!



This morning we woke up to Kai snuggling with his favorite monkey...these days everything becomes a chew toy :)

AnD I only caught the end of this but Kai rolled himself over, and then got stuck!! He is so strong!


Happy 3 months handsome Kai we LOVE you so so so much!

JUMP...JUMP...JUMP FOR JOY!!!

Kai and I have been spending LOTS of time together lately!! As I have posted about before Logan works graveyards at the Quality Inn and so hes gone all night and then sleeps all day, so our time together is short, which has been a hard adjustment! While Logan works and sleeps I get to enjoy my baby boy, who continues to become more and more involved and VERY happy! We love him so much!!

Kai has found a new love for his jumper (thanks Grandma). He is so amazed by the toys, lights and freedom he has while inside! Kai is a VERY independent little boy!

Logan and I have found a new way to communicate with his new job...we write notes on paper, white boards and the bathroom mirror just to make sure we can keep each other informed about all that goes on while we are separated!
The other day I not only woke up to a sweet note, but there was a BEAUTIFUL bouquet of flowers! I love Logan so much. Although I am sure he is constantly exhausted he makes a point to show Kai and I just how much he loves us!

These next videos are just a few of my happy little boy. I am sorry they are all sideways I always tape the wrong way!!!

Full of Smiles!!!


JUMP FOR JOY!!!

I guess that is the only update I have for now...Kai will be 3 months old this week and I am just shocked how much a baby can change in such a little amount of time!! We love being parents and LOVE discovering all the new skills our little boy!

WARNING...

...this post contains biased bragging about my WONDERFUL family and the WONDERFUL time we had in California! This week Kai experienced a lot of firsts, like...first car trip, first time in California, first time meeting a lot of family, first Fair experience, first movie in the theaters, first cold water experience, first professional pictures, first flu (so so SAD), and first airplane trip...ITS BEEN A BUSY WEEK!

We were able to bless Kai in my old home ward..Kai was lucky enough to be surrounded by LOTS of family who love him! He is one lucky boy!

The California State Fair is A MUST, and this year we all got to enjoy together. Kai and Cousin Talmage became best friends fast and wanted to do everything together!! (TRUTH: Whoever holds Kai becomes Talmages best friend, but lets be honest...he isn't reaching for you!! )

Kai received LOTS AND LOTS of kisses this week! This is just one of the many from Great Grandma Holtry!
Talmage is THE CUTEST little brown eyed boy... I miss his sweet little personality already and can't wait to play with him again!

My brother Chase is SO SO SO Handsome...but thats not all...he also puts Kai right to sleep. He has a natural touch with kids and I just know he has LOTS of kids in his future :)



My nephew is the smartest little boy I know. Not only does he know sign language but my brother in law is teaching him Russian...he amazes me and is again ...SO CUTE!!! (Don't judge me for bribing him, I had to get it on video!!)




We had such a great time with our families but unfortunately I didnt get pictures of some them but I love them so much and wish they would send me their pics...hint hint!!!
