Almost 2

Kai remy is almost two and he loves all things silly! He is a simple baby who is easy to handle and doesnt get worked up over much! He adores being silly and goofy. He cracks up at all farts and burps, he strains to fart when he doesnt need to- his little neck veins popping out! He is obssessed with hide and seek and cuts those little eyes to spy out the side of his eye! He loves cheese more than any food and its the only food he can say- he says “chhhhhh” and his little tongue lisps just a tad! He doesnt say many worda but speak volumes with his motions and gestures! He understands any and everything though! He said mama dada ahmama bubba chhhh moon mailman bebe papa (paci) hiya bye mammy papa/pawpaw woowoo (train whistle) he also fake burps! He still grabs our faces to direct our vision a certain way! He loves to “count” one two three go  and then jumps intoour arms from a step or counter, goes down the slide, takes off running ect but insted says “da da da dada!!” And he esp loves when we say on your mark. Get set. Go! He slowly backs up and ducks down like a sprinter getting ready to take off! Then when we say go he charges and takes off running! He is peeing in the potty and just a couple of weeks ago began refusing his nap and bedtime bottle at 23 mo old! First it was nap bottle then bedtime and in a matter of 2 days he was completely done with bottles 😭. He just today at 23 mo gave me my first lip kiss and said muuuuu mah! He lovessss to hig and cuddle and blows kisses and says bye! He loves to hug necks and be snuggled. He is obssessed with trains and cars and trucks! He LOVES cartoons! He loves brocollie and fruit esp raspberries!

(Backup) My kindergartener!

Laat week p started homeschool

And also enrichment school!! He went for his very first day ever on aug 23,2018! 2 days shy of his 6th birthday. He was nervous and leary and i was excited for Him and sad. Thank goodness its one day a week or i dont know if i could handle it. He goes every thursday from 9-1:30. He has literature, writing, art music and drama. When we arrived i stayed for a minute while ms kay, his homeschool mama vereran and teacher told us a few things and then she got them to stand up for a big group photo. Then she lined them up, made p the lone leader, and took them outside for their first adventure in the on site woods - this is what p had been most excited for! When he walked off i cried. Then once in the car and we drove away i cried again. I think we cry bc we miss them already and bc we love them so desperately. But i also cry bc i am scared someone will be mean, will hurt his feelings, will make him cry, or bc i worry hes scared, or lonely, or misses me. So many things i cant save him from and want to. And bc hes homeschooled i worry that i could save him from all that by keeping him home, but then would i be hurting or helping him???

Once o picked

Him up he ran to me! He brought backpack and lunch bag and art and ripped bindin out of his bag right away. As we drove away he told me how he missed me but did have a little fun wnd how they found 4 hidden trails and heard lound footsteps on the trail and they hid rocks to hunt for next week and read a book about horses and a book about sunflowers then theh ate sunflower seeds and made sunflower art. He told me how he ate his lunch on a picnicblanket  outside and how he missed his bindin and tried to get it once but ms kay had

Him put it away (will give that one more chance before i ask her about it personally). Then as the days past he told me more, he told me how if i closed my eyes i could hear sounds better and how they used magnifying glass to inspect the ground and how he is sort of excited for next week. 

Im so proud of you p, and cant wait to hear all about your adventures without me, but those other 6 days- i want to keep you all to myself. 

Today you stand!

Clapped and clapped so proud of yourself, And ao are we!!! 

Kai remy, 9 months in 9 months out

At 8 mo old you are funny and love to laugh you do the cutest little double sylable laugh - “huh huh” that we all love! You say mama and can wave a frantic hello and say hi! You love naps and sleep easily! You can crawl like a champ and love standing! Baths make you squeel so loud when i turn the water on - you just know youre getting in!! You slap my

Shoulder when you get excited and bounce on my hip kicking those feet up against me in excitement! You skipped baby food all together in favor of chewing whole food! You are night and day from your brother. You cry only for a moment when hurt, you forgive quickly, and dont get too worked

Up over anything. You love tags and paper and put both in your mouth any chance you get. You love the cats and watching your brother do anything. You sleep all night but wake for milk still- but never opening your eyes at all- which is why i consider it sleeping all night!  You are a snuggle bug and love hugs and kisses and lay your head on my shoulder often. You love toys so much and canspend  a whole day just in your room sifting theough your toy basket. You love standing in your crib when you wake and yelling mama and then smile so big when i come into the room! You have started using your walker and do so good, just like phe use to! You hit your face on phes bed and got your first big bruise, grandma feels terrible bc youwere  with her but you dont seem to notice! You have 4 teeth and a 5th coming theough. You have two massive too teeth with the sweetest gap bn them! The same day you hit your face, i let you bump tjose teeth on a shampee bottle and made your gums bleed :/ big day for iniuries! You are so loved and ao wanted and so special to us all. We love you dearly kai remy ❤️
