Ummm...




Well I admit, I really don't have much to say, which is why I haven't updated our blog for so long... but just in case someone's wondering what we've been up to...

First off, Kai's got two teeth now. About a week and half after he got his first one, we discovered that his second one was on the way. It broke through not long after that, so Kai's got two little glistening white teeth to show when he smiles now, and he's pretty excited about that (we think). He's slowed down in his growing (which makes me kindda sad, but my arms are not complaining), in the last two month he's only gained a little over 2 lbs... I know it's not bad, but do know that he gained 4 lbs a month in the first two months of his life...

So another exciting thing that Kai's learning to do is to crawl. He started getting on all fours and rocking back and forth a little after his 5-month birthday. Still hasn't gotten the hang of it, but oh boy he sure gets mad when he's not moving like he wants to. Toys are no longer interesting to him, and he's been trying to get to everything else around the house (by rolling). He rolls like a tornado, and is always happy when he rolls across a shoe of ours and gets to taste it.

Last weekend the Jeffs kindly invited us and a bunch of friends to spend a night at their family cabin. It sure was fun and weird at the same time to get together... fun because all of us have been great friends for a while, and weird because ALL of us have kids now. It was the cutest thing to watch the babies interact with each other, and I think Kai thoroughly enjoyed the interaction. It wasn't the best night of sleep I've ever had (Kai and Makayla kept waking each other up), but other than that it was a blast! Oh and I think Makayla stole Kai's first kiss... oh well.



What else... Justin and I are the same old same old. Our car had a little trouble and had to be taken into a shop, which we were not happy about. But fortunately I did a little extra work for the church at the beginning of the month, and my salary came to just about covered the cost of fixing the car... so Heavenly Father does know what we need. We are very grateful for that. Justin is still working away at school, but the worst part is almost over now. My job is still going well, except for there's just no getting used to the 'get up at 7 o'clock' thing, especially when we don't go to bed until 12...
Anyway, the last little bit is to inform anyone who's in California or going to be in California during Thanksgiving... we are coming, we are coming~~
