all about Malakai, of course

So... Malakai was pretty sweet at the first of the summer because we would take him in the pool and he would just hang with us and was cool with whatever.  But now he is BOMB!  He loves to sit in the shamu shelf and splash, slap the blue tile (random, I know), and "swim" around.  He is getting so big and Josh and I are loving it!  Kai is so much fun!

The other thing that has been so much fun to do with Kai lately is eat!  He loves food more than anything and will eat whatever you give him.  We've been feeding him peaches, bananas, pear, sweet potato, etc. and he totally digs it.  He's got that "Kitchen" intensity though so he doesn't just eat nicely, he has to grab the spoon from you and shove it in his mouth!  Crazy kid.  At least we don't have to worry about him not gaining weight.  He hit 18 lbs. yesterday!

We LOVE you Malakai!

HUGE blowout!

Last weekend we decided to go for a drive and while we were out Kai started getting kinda fussy.  We figured he was just hungry so we stopped to feed him.  Josh looked down and noticed a little yellow spot on his shirt just above his shorts.  Since we'd eaten a couple things that day we didn't really think it was a big deal.  He didn't seem too interested in eating so I stood him up and faced him away from me.  SHA-BOOM!  There was poop all up his back.  We started stripping him down and literally, there was thick, yellow poop streaked from his knees to his nipples, back and front.  Not only that, but it smelled SO terrible!!  We threw open the doors and and stuck our heads out trying to inhale fresh air.  I really think it could have caused some serious brain damage if we were to take one more sniff of his foul mess.  It was the craziest blowout he has ever had.  I pride myself on being able to clean up just about any diaper mess with one wipe, but this was insane... it was a 7 wipe job!  As you can see in the picture, Kai was having a great time watching us try to clean him up.  By the time we were all finished and the diaper and wipes were all rolled up it was the size of 3 of my fists... no joke.  We're hoping to never have one this bad ever again... probably wishful thinking, huh?

Park Day and the Home Life

Wow, I don't think I've gone this long without posting in awhile.  Well life feels like it's pretty much the same with a few fun things here and there.  I won't bore you with too much writing... I'll just get to the pictures.

Last Friday we went to the park to have a picnic and some much needed frisbee golf.  Unfortunately Kai started getting a little tired so we left before the game was over.  It ended the lamest way possible... in a tie.



The last couple weeks Kai has gotten so good at sitting up!  He still tips over sometimes, especially on soft surfaces, but we're so proud we don't even care.  

He also learned his favorite new trick recently... jumping.  There is practically no such thing as just standing anymore.  Josh is hoping that he is the next basketball legend.  We'll see about that...

When I do laundry I will sometimes let him sit in a basket of clothes and watch.  I don't know why but he loves it, especially if I carry him up or down the stairs in it.  It's amazing the things that entertain babies.
