Kai & Keila's first shopping date video

Kai is being a typical dude & wondering, "What am I doing here?" with his Barry Manilow hairstyle while Keila is looking like Dr. Evil and pondering the meaning of life in Newpark mall.

Our 1st family holiday pics

Costco had a coupon on greeting cards. The expiration date on the coupon was 11-29. I wanted to make sure that we took a holiday pic as a family so that we could use our coupon for our christmas cards. We took a bunch of pictures. My parents are really into photography and took pictures of us. I think this is the first year I couldn't wait for mom to bust out all of her boxes of christmas decorations!
Which one do you like?

Kai looks so pudgy! What a good Santa! haha

So festive..

Kai is waving hi!

Surprisingly, we seemed to like the fireplace pictures the best compared to next to the tree.

It was hard to get a good pic of the 3 of us and to get Kai awake and looking at the camera.. Wake up, boy!

Wake up, Kai kai.. it's daytime!

Smile!

The best part of the holidays this year is not the gifts or the food or the decorations, but being a family and taking lots and lots of pictures to remember all of these precious memories. Happy holidays!

Look at our boy's "first steps"... :)

Wilderness walk with Keila

Last week, we went on a "wilderness walk" with Katie & Keila. Near Kimber woods near Katie's house, there are horses roaming the hills. We had a fun adventure as we made up stories about this strange "wilderness man" that we saw sitting on the hillside with the animals.

In front of Leeila's house

Yay! We're off for a walk!

Look at the pretty horses

Baby friends

This month, Kai has been getting out a lot more & meeting new friends.

We hung out with Regina and her sons, Naveen & Kian. Naveen is almost 3 years old and Kian is 6 months old.

Hanging out with the Dawson boys at the park:


Kian & Kai


At Aydon's first birthday party, he met Manal's son, Zavin. Manal & I had about-the-same due date, but Zavin is 6 days & 22 hours younger.




Kai has been regularly seeing his hospital friend/twin/girlfriend, Keila. Here is Katie & Keila:



Keila & Kai


Some friends from MSJ messaged each other on facebook about getting together since we were all first time moms with little infants. Below is a picture of our baby party-- Sonali's 2 week old, Ayala, Sharon's 5 month old, Dylan, Emily's 3 month old, River, Katie's 6 week old, Keila, & a bunch of yummy cookies & brownies!

Russel from Up

We bought the new Pixar movie, "Up." There is this little pudgy, big-cheeked wilderness scout named Russel. Nadia told me that Kai reminded her of Russel. As we watched the movie the other day, we saw a definite resemblance! :)
