End of Summer ... Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

We have had a great summer with little Kai Bear, it is upsetting to see it winding down. Daddy is already back at school, and mommy will be going back in a week from now. Luckily, Mi-Mi (aka Grandma Patty) will be watching Kai during the day, and we are very thankful for that! As you see below, Kai and Casey have been getting along very well, even sharing pillows (boppy) with each other.



Here is Dad and Kai "hanging" out. Thanks for the baby bjorn Aunt Dianne and Uncle Rob!!!

"Hey what's up, man? That's cool, I'm just chillin' out!"

Kai, being Kai

Laughing at a joke Uncle Mike told him

Contemplating life in his favorite vibrating chair.

Passed out in the afternoon after contemplating life too hard

Tummy Time!!! Kai doing the push-ups his daddy makes him do. Olympics 2028 here we come!!!

His favorite time, meal-time!

"Go Phillies!!!!"


"Oh yeah, I can stand...

...uh oh, I think I'm falling, catch me, Mom!"

Sharing his bottle with his sister, Casey.

"Is that a finger I can chew on?"

"Wow, I'm tired. And this pouch is surprisingly comfortable!"

Lake Carey

Well, it feels like it has been a while since our last post...and I guess it has been! The family has been on vacation (please no teacher comments!!) up at Lake Carey, in northeast PA, doing a little R&R and hanging out with the DeCarlo's.

The sun was so strong up at Lake Carey, it turned daddy's hair blonde!!!

Casey enjoyed playing ball, and finding quiet, shady places to sleep.

Kai and mommy got to go for lots of walks, which Kai likes very much.


Mommy took Kai in the water for the first time at the Lake. He was sooooo excited, actually, a bit too excited, as you can see! "Where's the burp cloth, aka puke towel???"

Kai likes to stand, now, too... as long as he has someone to hold him up. It got cold at night, so we had to put some pants on the little boy as you can see...

... and bundle him up at night in his strait-jacket! He must have liked the weather, because he slept all night, from 11pm to 7am!!!

Spending time with his grandma, Nan

And cuddling with Aunt Debbie

While cousin Luke and Uncle Matt go swimming!!! Kai will have to wait a few years to hang out with them!

Casey and her buddies, Nick and Luke.
