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...

It amazes me how big he's getting, it seems like just yesterday he was a little baby and we were meeting at spring lake park! Hope things are going well for you guys!

Well, he's just about the cutest little guy I've ever seen! Thank God for Cheerios! We always took them to church with us when the kids were little.

I'm sitting here with my coffee...
it's not an Americano, but French press Caribou beans are pretty good, too!

Blessing.....Marge
