TIME FLIES!

Why is it that when I was pregnant two months seemed like years but now that my sweet baby is here two months has FLOWN past? I am pretty bitter about it!!! At two months Kai now LOVES to eat and is becoming quite the little chunk, he loves to smile and loves to be given ALL of your attention, if he doesn't have it, he will give you a fake cry to gain your sympathy!  

Today was his two month Drs appointment and I have been dreading it for a while because of his shots.  I don't know how to handle that kind of thing.  I don't want people to hurt Kai and I don't want to be the mean one to bring him there to be hurt :)  But unfortunately I know its necessary and so I went.  

Everything was going great and the Dr said he would send in the nurses to give him his shots.  Moments later the nurses came in... (here is the part that bugs me) They went up to Kai and talked with him making him smile and coo and then while his smile was as big as it could be they shot him....WHAT THE HECK...why make the poor baby smile just to punish him for it? Anyways I left the office with a wailing baby and a heart sick mom.  This is one of the jobs of a Mom that I really DON'T like!

Lucky for me, after a nice big nap and feeding Kai is finally happy (as long as you stay away from his sore legs that is!)  Two months have gone WAY too fast and I just hope to find joy in every second with our sweet little (big) baby!

Say Goodbye.....to the Samurai!!!!

Kai was born bald....except for his little "samarai" hairs on the back of his head.  It has bugged me from the start but I thought he would lose it as time went on.... but no...of course not...actually quite the opposite has happened, HIS SAMARAI IS GROWING WITH A VENGEANCE!!! So today was the day, and thanks to Logan it turned out great!

BEFORE: Featuring the samurai!

AFTER: Fresh start, ready for his hair to grow...evenly I hope!!!

I love my baby boy!!

Kai started gracing us with his coos a while ago but I misplaced our camera...but now that its back I finally caught my baby in action! I hope u enjoy as much as I did!

HE'S A BIG KID NOW.....

Things are just going amazing here in the good old 'burg! We are LOVING the nice weather and loving spending time together.  Logan started his new job and he loves it and fortunately for us they love him and continue to give him lots of extra hours!!

My baby keeps growing and growing...I just can't help but feel a little sad.  This last week I switched him from his little bassinet to his very own room in his very own big kid bed.  SO of course I had to document the difference....so this is him before he switched and.....

...here he is after the big switch. Same sweet position but lots of extra room! I thought I would be sad to see him leave our room but we both actually get much more sleep!

I have started watching Jessica (my neighbors 18 month old) again and I just LOVE watching her with Kai. She loves to help him and entertain him with his music on the side of his swing.  He is happy and I am VERY thankful for the extra help :)

My sweet boys!! I love them so much! Today was the big Soccer game and unfortunately the Netherlands lost at the VERY end but we still love them and had a lot of fun cheering until the end.  Logan assures me that the flag will be down by tomorrow but he says out of respect for the Netherlands we have to keep it up the rest of the day!! haha!

WE LOVE AUNT KIM!! I am so thankful to have Kim in Rexburg, and get to see a little piece of family!  She is so sweet to come visit and spend a little bonding time with Kai.

I love her and I love Kai's little BUDDHA BELLY!

Its been another great week and we know there are many more to come!!

ORANJE TOT HET EINDE!!!

aka ORANGE TO THE END!!!   For those of you who don't know Logan served his mission in the Netherlands and has gained a real pride for ANYTHING dutch.

Since the World Cup began Logan has added a new addition to our front porch...and to my dismay it is BRIGHT ORANGE!!  He promised me one simple thing, as soon as the Netherlands lost, the flag would immediately be taken down....Little did I know, they wouldn't lose a SINGLE GAME!!!! So if you drive by our house you will see, the flag still remains!

With yet another win against Uruguay in the semi finals Logan showed the city of Rexburg his pride by flaunting his BRIGHT orange jersey, BRIGHT orange slippers and waving the BRIGHT orange flag, while cheering to every approaching car! OLE, OLE OLE OLE!!!

SO....

Dear Netherlands,

Please WIN and please WIN QUICKLY so that I can once again enjoy my front porch!

Much thanks from Rexburg!

Love, 

Your #2 Fan

Happy Fourth!

Well....its was an interesting Fourth to say the least.  We were planning on being in California to bless Kai but Logan heard back from a job last minute which was SO exciting, so we decided to reschedule his blessing for a later date.  I am so glad that we did because Logan ended up being sick all weekend so Kai and I had EVEN MORE one on one bonding time :)

I love my little boy. Excuse my face...it had been a LONG weekend!

His smiles come more often now and his coo's  light up a room!

Poor sick Logan...he was so miserable and I just tried my best to keep Kai healthy and Logan happy!  Luckily he is starting to feel better and has a lot more energy.

I love love LOVE his chunky little face!

So...although it was a tiring weekend I couldn't have asked for more. And for a little present to his Mom, Kai decided that last night was the night to change from waking up every 2 hours to sleeping in 4 hour stretches. Thank you sweet little boy, I am rested and ready for whatever is coming my way!
