Sweet "Toddler" Kai?

I think he will always be my "sweet baby Kai." Is it perhaps my own wishing and labeling that has stunted his growth and development? The toddler in Kai is finally emerging. He is cruising all over grabbing onto whatever he can find to pull him along and help him get around the room. If you leave for a minute he'll seem to have gone a mile (from a couch to a laundry basket to a table to a window...) by the time you get back. What's really fun is when he grabs onto my legs and allows me to "walk" him to his next landmark. He likes to walk hanging onto our hands too, and he likes his little walker toy. He is also CRAWLING up on his knees a few strokes, but then he decides he prefers his usual army crawl and plops back down. He is pulling himself to standing on the lego table and knocking down all his brother's and sister's creations. He is trying to crawl up the steps.

On another positive note he weighs 17.6 pounds! I finally remembered I have a digital scale. That means he's gained 1.1 pounds in the last six weeks. He only gained 2 pounds in the previous six months!

I think he's coming around. I will miss my sweet baby Kai.
