Last Weekend.......

We have had a busy week, with the car issues (someone backed into us)


and Kai’s face getting bashed up, as well as starting the process of getting the house ready for rent, so we are getting estimates on a whole lot of things!

I did not tell you about last weekend. I had an immigration appointment in Charlotte, and we thought we would go see two friends of ours from Germany (Mark and Trisha) in their beautiful new home!


We had such a great weekend with them, and Kai loved being there (she loved the Paris room! Those who know TW and MW will understand) and the dogs were great babysitters.


We played rummy in the evening – the fun of having guests with a baby means not much going out after 7pm. Anyway, I am sure they took my luck, cause ever since I was there I have not won or even come close to getting any respectable score (thanks guys!!!!!)



Mark reminded me of a funny situation which Rachel and Kelly were involved in ….. do you remember this picture of Kai eating Biltong? Rachel and Kelly were sure Kai was eating a turd!


Here is Marks version of the ‘turd eating’

and with compliments of Rachel and Kelly they sent a picture of their (American) version too!!!!!

It's not easy being one!


This is what happens when you are learning to walk and you are obsessed with balls….
We were outside playing with the other kids in the neighborhood, when Kai saw a ball on the driveway. She went to get it, turned around, got her feet all tangled up and instead of letting the ball go – she fell on her face and continued to slide on her nose………

Kailey's Day Today

I thought I would give a quick break down of Kai's day....

We started out with milk and The Mickey Mouse Club House - she loves this show and can't belive she knows Micky Mouse. She freaks out whenever she sees Mickey. Today she noticed he was on her nappy (dipers) and walked around with it for hours.



We then had music class today. This is Kindermusik, it's quite sweet and she enjoys it. This is the church where it is held... very southern!




When we came home she found the bunny ears I got her for easter... she put them on and wore them for a while.




The rest of the day she played with her new drum (and shakers), slept, and waited for Daddy to come home. Since Deric is the breakfast master, he used his 'eggspertise' and taught her how to make scrambled eggs!





Last but not least Daddy took her off to bath (aka play time) to have some quality dad and daughter time (and to let me be babyless for 30 minutes).

What Kai has been up to lately!



She is changing so much lately, before my eyes and there is nothing I can do about it!!! Seeing her become her own little person is just the best thing ever. I ask her if she wants milk, if she needs a nappy change, if she wants to go to sleep, where here toys are etc… she will answer ‘ye’ for yes and not at all for no!


But she is miss independant and has to walk EVERYWHERE! It's too cute!

She will start holding your hand and then pull away with her arms at her ears and usually squealing as she speeds up on a bit of a speed wobble!

She goes down stairs on her belly and slides all the way down, something like this...









We started her on swimming lessons this past weekend, since I did the ones from 6 months Deric has taken on these - of course I am right there taking a million pictures!


Other than that we have all been sick lately and have spent a bit more time at home than normal. She plays all day long and 'destroys' the house. Her bike is a top toy and she will get on and off it all day long (thanks Rachel and Kelly)
