3 month hiatus

Wow, I can't believe I haven't posted in almost 3 months! I knew I wouldn't be able to keep up with this blog as frequently as I would like, but I never intended to let that much time go by without posting about our little man.

Kai celebrated his 7 month birthday almost 2 weeks ago, which we are still in shock about.
It's been a very eventful 3 months!

April
-started sitting up
-discovered his feet. Or rather, he finally was able to reach them over his chubby little gut!
-finally rolled from back to belly

May
-got his first tooth (bottom left) and then 10 days later got the one next to it! Kai was a total rock star with teething...we were dreading it based on horror stories we had heard from other parents, but besides the excessive drool and knawing on everything in sight, we had no idea that teeth were ready to pop through. I almost feel a little guilty about how easy we have it with him!!
-had his first trip to New York City and first overnight in a hotel! We went to celebrate our anniversary and his half year birthday. We got pictures taken in Central Park and then went to the zoo. He absolutely loved all the sights and sounds in the city!


Kai is a rolling machine now- gone are the days of putting him down on a blanket with some toys and just peeking on him every few minutes- he's all over the room! And over the last 2weeks he has started getting up on his hands and knees and scooting backwards! Poor little guy, he gets so frustrated! He sees something he wants to get, and doesn't seem to understand how he keeps getting farther and farther away from it LOL

We've got quite a few sounds now- lala, dada, baba, goo, oh, ee. I've been working on mama (even gone as far as to physically prompt his lips!) but he just laughs at me!

Alright, picture overload!

Very first time at the beach!!























One morning Kai scooted backwards under his Pack 'n Play while I was washing dishes! Hence the reason why he can't be left unattended anymore!
