Eat'n time for Kai

Life at the Jaspersens' : TOYS

Kai and his TOYS

Boy cannot live on Cherrios alone...

... but he sure tries hard! We have delved farther into the world of parenthood since you last heard from this distant outpost. Thanks to a MUCH APPRECIATED package from Kai's Nonna (Andi's mom), Kai has discovered the wonderful world of Cherrios. Unfortunately for his Mommy and Daddy, that meant a revolt against anything besides finger-foods for a few days. He seems to be relenting in his strike, but not without much cajoling and pleading on behalf of the big people of the house. Rice cereal is still a no-go, but we have yet to try the oatmeal cereal. I hear some babies like that better. We'll see. At the rate Kai's going, he might just skip ahead to steak!

However, with the dawn of finger-foods, comes much more interesting meal times. Kai has taken to eating broccoli and potatoes, osenbe (rice crackers), and of course, lots and lots of Cherrios. Good thing we come home in 6 weeks to stock up on the glorious miniature donuts (I'd better keep him out of our turtle Tora's food-- his food is little donuts too. Yuck!)

Anyway, as you will see in this video Dan put together, Mommy's hours of playing with Kai have not been wasteful. Here he is with his latest tricks...

An Error from which to Benefit

Ok, so I have NO idea why Dan's magic video got posted to this blog instead of his blog. But we're all about the lovin' here, so I'll pass along Dan's blog site if you'd like to see more: juggleratplay.blogspot.com

And I promise to try and post some more stuff soon... being a mommy is hard work and by the end of the day, I just don't have it in me to sit down and write. You have no idea how many pictures and video are taken with the blog in mind. It just never makes it on here. And who wants to read about stuff that happened 2 1/2 months ago? (Well, maybe you do. Comments, please.)

Until next time, good night.
