On 5/13/2018 we told Bridget that it was Kai's 5 month-aversary, she asked what that was and we explained it was kind of like a birthday. We also told her that it was her and daddies month-aversaries too. I promise this will be the last time I mention it, but Kai is 5 months old, Bridget is 37 months old and I (Tony) am 361 months old. LOL.
This last month has been fun. We have been staying with Cherish's parents, which has been very nice. It is awesome to be able to see the relationship our children have with their grandparents.
We also have our dog back which is nice.
I am back in school after a month long medical hiatus. It is bitter sweet, but I'm mostly happy to be back. For our last few weeks together commitment free, we really tried to take advantage and have a good time together. We even had a spa night.
Kai is becoming such a happy boy.
He is rolling over, sorry we don't have any video proof. He doesn't crawl yet, but he thinks he should be walking.
Baseball season is rolling again and Kai is reppin'... well, he was. He outgrew his shirt, but we are still hoping to fly the W plenty this season.
Kai has also been working on his hand eye coordination and athleticism. This is him getting ready to dunk.
Kai loves to wrestle inanimate objects, particularly his hedgehog toy. When he wrestles he holds his breathe. It is kind of nerve racking. We worry he may pass out.
That belly though...
Over this past month Kai discovered his feet. He loves them all the time, but mostly when he is naked
Kai is so alert and loves seeing the world around him.
These pix are more about Cher than the kids. Look at that face.
*Ouch
Kai loves her hair!
Our kids love to read. We are so proud.
Bridget is such a good big sister, she loves her little brother and take such good care of him. It is so fun to get to watch them interact.
Though this month was good it was not without its minor worries. At the end of February/beginning of March Bridget had what appeared to be a minor seizure while playing at the mall. I took her to the ER, but the doctor decided she did not need any workup. I later talked to Bridget's pediatrician who, like me strongly disagreed. She had us talk to a pediatric neurologist who had Bridget go in for an EEG.
I am not sure you can tell from these pictures, but it was quite a scary experience for her (seriously, they almost had to sedate her).
The saving grace was that I was able to explain to Bridget that they were just stickers they were putting on her head, not some scary medical instrument
.
.
The EEG tech was super nice though. He even paid Bridget for being so good! She is one of the few people I know that can get medical personnel to pay her for letting them treat her.
Bridget loves getting her face painted
And she loves animals. She practically begged us to take her to the Sheep fair.
She was also subsequently heart broken when her mom wouldn't let us get a baby lamb.
She also still loves swinging.
In all forms
Are any of your kids obsessed with acrobatics after watching The Greatest Showman?
She is such a smart, happy little girl.
She is taking a break from dance, at least officially...
and is trying out Tae-kwon-do. She is the cutest little thing you've ever seen.
Her teacher is so great!
We are so disappointed that we won't be able to stay and continue her lessons.

And she really enjoys it.

The weekend before I started back at school we took advantage of the warm weather to snap some family pictures. Kai is still not as smiley as we would like for pictures, but I think they turned out very nice all things considered.
