Having Fun With Our Little Kai - Third Month

This past month we have started to see Kai's personality develop. She is happy and content all of the time and loves to smile (especially at her mommy!) Kai is very ambitious... she has already rolled over from tummy to back and is grabbing things with great control. Kai loves to be held and walked around to look at things and people. One thing we have really noticed is her fascination with trees. She could look up at trees all day! The leaves blowing in the wind, the branches swaying... must be some great contrast against the sky. Isn't that funny?
At her last well baby check, Kai weighed 11.2 pounds. She is in the 50% for height and weight. She still looks pretty petite compared to other babies her age. Her eyes are really turning into a pretty blue and her hair is still curly and strawberry blond.
Kai's big brothers really take care of her... at times smothering her :) I have to say, "please stay out of her face", all of the time. They just want to squeeze and love on her. Krue and Kiefer love to get things for me to help out and their favorite job is putting her pacifier back in her mouth.
Kai is definitely a third child. She just goes with the flow... always riding in the car... attending taekwondo practice, football games, daddy's work, school, etc. I already feel like she is my little sidekick ;)
We just love our little girl!
Don't you just want to squeeze her?

Kai loves to watch the kids play.

Having fun on her play mat.

"The Old Married Couple"

Lauren & Krue at 1 year old.

Lauren and Krue at 5 years old.

I just happened to take this picture of the two of them the other day and remembered that I took a similar picture of them when they were one. So cute.

Their kindergarten teacher told Melanie the other day that the teachers at school call them

"The Old Married Couple" :)

She said it is because Lauren will boss Krue around... Krue will take it for awhile... and then give it right back to her. Hilarious!

Gotta love these two.

Surrounded with Love...


They can't get enough of their little girl!

Lee's First Triathlon

On August 29th Lee took a stab at his very first triathlon. It is no surprise that he rocked it. Is there anything this guy can't do? Lee finished in 46 minutes and placed 9th out of 150 people! Here are some pictures from his triathlon debut...
Early morning walk with the boys down to the triathlon course.

It was a freezing morning. This picture captures how cold and windy it was!

Nice work, Leeroy. Just wait until I'm ready for my next triathlon. I'll smoke you (at least in the swim!)
