The rocket boosters that NASA wanted back are still firmly affixed to Kai's stubby little feet. I fear that he has no plans to return them any time soon. So, in the absence of my own set of rocket boosters, I am forced to dash from one place to the next, yanking tiny Lego's and other hazardous choking toys (left out by 2 older brothers which shall remain nameless) from Kai's 8 toothed mouth.
On a recent trip to the pediatrician, our new doctor asked some routine questions about Kai. As he squiggled and squirmed in my arms, she asked, "Does he walk along furniture or try to take steps independently?"
I looked at her with a hint of annoyance (I'd been in that tiny little examining room waiting with 3 hungry boys for 15 minutes), and set Kai down on his rocket boosters. He quickly ran to the trash can he had been eyeballing and proceeded to rummage around. (Don't worry, it wasn't the red hazardous waste container!)
After more obvious questions and several shots, we were finally out of the office armed with the knowledge that Kai is a big boy. 80th percentile for height and 70th percentile for weight. If NASA won't take him maybe the NFL will!
So here are a few pics of Kai's recent happenings.
I let Uncle Dane do the chasing for a while. He did an excellent job!
Kai is learning to eat all by himself with a fancy baby spoon.
It is more hassle than it's worth!
This is good manners in some countries....right?
No shame!
Kai raking leaf.
Truly, just one tiny little leaf.
(He's the over-achiever of the bunch.)
Taking a break to look at a bird. Or maybe he's dreaming of the day he'll blast off into space himself. It won't be long.
Perfecting his raking technique.
Pausing one last time to admire the birds in flight before he makes a mad dash for the street.
