Our Fun Fourth Month With Kai

We have had such fun with Kai this month. Her personality is still as sweet as can be... but becoming more vocal, which is scary and exciting all at the same time. If we aren't paying attention to her, she lets us know with a loud squeal that she is still there. When she makes eye contact with someone she lets out a squeal that sounds like "Hi". It is too cute.

During the month of October we took Kai on a vacation to Florida. Erin Thiele went along as our nanny to help out and give Lee and I a bit of a break. It was so nice! Kai was a perfect angel on the trip. She just went with the flow and didn't complain at all..

Here are some pictures of Kai at 3 months old... what a mix of temperature changes!

Having so much fun at 3 months old!

Medeira Beach, Florida ~ 2009

When Kai was born, Lee and I decided that we wanted to take a mini-vacation together somewhere. We thought that when Kai was 3 months old it would be a good time to go somewhere... we would still take her with us, but take help, and leave the boys at home. That is exactly what we did and it turned out to be an unbelievable trip!

From October 8th thru the 12th we vacationed at Madeira Beach, Florida with our best friends, Neal and Melanie Blythe. We took along Erin Thiele as our nanny to help with Kai. What a fun group it was! Here are some pictures from the trip...

"Kai" means ocean in Hawaiian.

It was very special spending some one on one time with Kai.

The days were very hot... in the 90's every day with high humidity. We kept Kai in the shade and sprinkled with water. She was very comfortable!

This was our little table we sat at when it got too hot!

Loving Florida!

It was so nice to be able to go out with Neal and Mel every night and not have to worry about coming home for the kids. We had a ball together!

(I look so white in this picture compared to everyone else ... I really did get a tan!)

So happy we took this much needed vacation!

Thanks Mom and Dad for watching the boys!!! You are the best.
