Dozen weeks, anyone?

Twelve Weeks


Kai turned 12 weeks this week. Can you believe it? We surely can't!! That means we're back to "normal life" which includes work for Ruth and "school" for Kai. We had to get up at 6:30 to start the day on time. Gosh, we haven't purposefully gotten out of bed at 6:30 since we were 7 years old! Kai was wonderful all this week. He'd wake up about 7:15 on his own, giving us plenty of time to get ready first, and then get him all ready for the day. It was pretty hard saying goodbye to him on Monday, but we know he's in good hands at "school." Besides, by Friday, all the teachers in the school knew him by name. And since he's the newest addition to the room (and the smallest), he gets held a LOT at school.

We also went to Kai's friend's, Eliza, first birthday party. Kai also got to meet a new friend, Sean. And Ruth got to see a friend she hadn't seen in a long while, Michelle. We hope to see them again soon.

In order to get Mommy to stop video taping Daddy reading to Kai, he tried to rhyme like Dr. Seuss, but as you can imagine, he desperately needs to work on his verse. (Click on the picture above to see the whole album and the short "RJ Seuss" video.) Maybe RJ should stick to just reading the books, huh?

Kai's still enjoying his massages. He gets one about every other day. And since Kai got a bath right after his massage, I decided I wanted to see him in his robe, since it finally fits him! RJ thought it made him look like Hugh Heffner, but I think it just made him look cute!

Lions and Tigers and Birthdays

Eleven Weeks


(Click on the picture above to see more pictures of me!)

Mommy turned 31 this week, so we celebrated by doing lots of stuff. (It's also Mommy's last week at home, before she has to go back to work.) So, we went to see my good buddy, Eliza and her mommy, Wendy. Then, Mommy's friend, Eli, came to visit us. Eli took us to the Bridgeport zoo! I got to see lots of cool animals, like tigers, owls, wolves, and bison. But my favorite were the prairie dogs because they made these cool tunnels for kids to go in and peek out. Mommy took me inside it and I got to feel what it was like to live in the ground. Maybe I'd do better as a bear; don't they hibernate for part of the year?
