Trip to Cape Cod

Saba and Savta took us to Cape Cod and we had a great time together.  This was Kai's first vacation, and despite getting sick, he loved it.  The trip was also good for Keith's health!

Here is Kai all greased up with sunblock right before going to the pool for the first time.  The outdoor pool ended up being closed, so we smeared him for no reason as we ended up in the indoor pool! 

Kai in the pool for the first time ever...  He was a little nervous, but managed to peel his little fingers off of me at some point to hold onto his ball.

Kai was happy to get his sippy cup and relax after the long swim!

Kai was very cuddly during the entire trip, mostly because he was sick.  Here is Daddy reading to Kai!

Kai with Savta at the beach for the first time...  It was beautiful and he enjoyed it!

Dinner time!

This has to be the most hilarious picture we've ever taken of Kai!  He kept opening his mouth super big whenever Saba took a sip!  He wanted his own pomegranate martini!

Happy after dinner at the restaurant--he was such a good boy!

Felicia and Gilat's playdate (oh yeah, the kids played too!)

Felicia was visiting from Texas and we met up at her parents'  house in NJ.  The kids had a blast playing together.  They showed great interest in each other, pulling hair, sticking fingers in the other's mouth, hitting heads, stealing pacifiers, and a lot of smiling!

Kai has been insisting on standing up every time someone sits next to him!  He pulls himself up on his own--I just help him with balance!

Kai LOVES this song.  It always makes him smile!

Our own professional basketball player!

Look at Kai dribbling his red ball!  What a pro!

Celebrating Keith's birthday OUT!

OK, so Ruby Tuesday may not normally be our restaurant of choice to celebrate Keith's birthday, but it was close by, and easy to take Kai (or so we thought).  Turns out Kai can't be around people eating, unless he is eating as well.  It doesn't matter if he just finished a big meal.  If you're eating or drinking--he wants it too!   It's getting to the point where we have to hide his EMPTY bottles and hide our food.  CRAZY!

I also uploaded a video of him trying to feed himself... cute!

Keith's birthday!

We celebrated Keith birthday with some family...  Had a great time, and Kai enjoyed all the attention.  It was very hot, and at the end of the day we were all so tired!

We loved celebrating together, and had a really good reason to celebrate this year!

Kai spent some time on the porch (mostly trying to take his hat off), and Pop Pop Fred was entertaining him (and keep the hat on).

This picture doesn't need any words.  Just our beautiful baby.

Happy to help Daddy open presents.

Kai being his silly self with Saba and Savta.

He loves his new red ball!

Hanging out with Aunt Cate, and eating watermelon.  Yummy.

Trip to Van Saun Park

Kai turned 7 months old on April 27!  Practically a man (if you ignore the drool on his chin)!

We went to visit the Van Saun zoo with Jenn, Meredith and Brendan.  Only got to see a couple of animals because it wasn't officially open yet, but Kai enjoyed the stroll.  He got his first taste of a frozfruit ice pop, and wasn't sure what to make of the freezing sensation in his mouth.  Still, he continued to open his mouth for another bite!

Here is Kai with his friend Meredith, who will one day be able to teach Kai all about birds!  I was very impressed with her knowledge!

Here is Kai and the donkey checking each other out.  Many of the animals were too small for Kai to notice, but it was hard not to notice this donkey (not to mention the smell!).
