Thanksgiving 2009

We had a wonderful first Thanksgiving at our new house with our family.  We watched a little parade in the morning on TV, and Kai rocked out to the songs and dances...  Keith made his first turkey, and it came out absolutely beautiful and yummy.  I made a perfect apple pie (if I may say so myself!)--it was beautiful and delicious (a keeper recipe for sure).  Kai enjoyed Keith's homemade cranberry sauce, "riding" his tricycle, laughing and entertaining everyone who clapped for everything he did.  I don't know who was the biggest star--Our chef Keith, or our entertainer Kai.

Kai's adventures at 13 months

Uncle Eyal visited our new house (and Kai's fabulous room), and read Kai his favorite book, Goodnight Moon.

Kai eating a sandwich with chocolate spread (thanks to Saba and Savta).  It made him happy! (and crazy!)

Grandmom and Michael visited, and Michael played music for Kai.  Kai really enjoyed it, and even tried to play himself  :)

Our New House!

So it took me a while to post these on the blog, but better late than never. Been busy putting together our beautiful house! Below are a few pics if you have not seen them yet:

Kai's room--we love it and he loves it!

Kai saying no

sorry this video, again, is sideways... one day I'll remember not to do that. This is a video of Kai not only shaking his head no (which he's been doing for a while), but actually meaning NO.

Halloween

Kai is finally old enough to put on a costume this year, and he looked soooo adorable in it! He dressed up as a dalmation, because he loves dogs. The costume was a little hot for our little sweaty baby, so he didn't keep it on too long, but we took some pictures at home before daycare. At his daycare they had a big parade of all the kids, and Kai's age group was taken by buggy. He did great until he spotted me, and he was also really sweaty at this point.

really getting into the puppy part!

Pumpkin Bagel

To continue in the tradition of themed bagels, Kai got a pumpkin shaped bagel for lunch today! It did not have pumpkin flavor, and was smeared in non-dairy cream cheese which tastes kind of like cardboard and contains no nutrients (but plenty of food coloring and preservatives for sure). But hey--he enjoyed it!
