Wow it's amazing how Kai is blossoming over the past few weeks. He went from crawling at the end of May to pulling himself up on EVERYTHING left and right. He loves to be standing and checking things out. Thursday evening (one week ago today) we were all sitting out in the front yard chatting with our neighbors while waiting for Jared and Tammy to arrive. He started crawling over to me and pulling himself up onto my legs and then LETTING GO! Once he realized he was standing on his own he got excited and did it over and over again. most of the time only standing for a few seconds, but now he can stand for 5-10 seconds before toppling and even took one small step towards me. I am SO not ready for a walking baby!! He gets so excited for himself when he does this and it just melts my heart!
Monday Kai had a couple things to add to the "milestones" list. He got his third tooth!! Top Left tooth has broken through. This would explain a lot of the horrid sleeping nights I hope! I was sure the right would follow within the day but it's still hiding out right beneath the gums. Won't be long and my baby will have no more gummy smile :( I think that he's still having trouble sleeping because of this tooth and my nipples are SO RAW and cracking from him pulling on and off that I am wondering if it's thrush or crazy nursing baby. I've treated for thrush just in case and continue to lather on the lanolin. I am not letting him nurse as often lately to try to heal my nipples up and it downright makes Kai MAD! He gets so very excited when I let him have his milk lol. He also learned to wave Bye Bye. If you tell Kai Bye Bye he'll wave his right arm at you. This is also how Kai likes to dance lol When he hears music he starts waving his arms in the air. Last night he was bouncing his body up and down to the music also. And last accomplishment is that he is learning to clap. He does nto do it consistently but a lot of the time if we tell him "clap clap" he'll clap his hands together or if he does something (such as standing or waving or dancing) and we tell him YAY GOOD JOB YAY He'll clap his hands. I also noticed him clapping his hands to the music on TV last night.
He's a crawling fool. Kai Kai and big brother love to crawl around the house and Kaeden is enjoying him being more interactive. Kaeden loves to "wrestle" with him and does it very carefully most of the time. There have been a few accidents where he was too rough but I don't think he's ever made Kai cry from their wrestling around so that's good news! He did get his first bloody nose on Monday but that wasn't from wrestling. Kaeden threw a tantrum about something while Kai was standing to close and knocked Kai on his face. Freaked me out!! Blood came pouring out of his nose. It stopped pretty quickly and he didn't cry too long but I still didn't like that one bit! I HATE seeing my boys hurt and there is nothing like a stream of blood to put a chill in Momma's tummy.
We have our home inspection tomorrow morning and HOPEFULLY will close on the house next week. I've got butterflies in my tummy thinking about it. I want to start packing and cleaning this house but Ir efuse to do so until everything is signed into MY NAME at that new house. I'm just so terrified that something bad will come up and stop the whole process. we'd lose so much time and effort not to mention $$$$ that we have put into our new home. It would be great if everything goes smoothly and we can get this move done and over with!
Steven goes next Tuesday with his Dady for court so we're hoping that they'll let him stay in the states and ease the families mind over that stress! I sure hope by the middle end of next month our stress level decreases significantly ;)
Gonna try to upload some pics now...... TTFN
