Kai the Architect

I had a reputation growing up of taking things apart and never really putting them back together (although now I really do fix things, honestly). Kai seems to have both creation and dismantling skills under his belt.

Last Days of Zoo Season

Fall is upon us, and our special new baby passes are expiring at the end of November. So with the great weather we’ve been having, we are trying to get in some of the last lions, tigers, and polar bears for the season.

Walking, the prototype

I was busy in the kitchen today, and when I looked up there was Kai walking 3 steps to the table in his play area.  Shock and awe came over me.  I wish I could replay the original scene, but after a few trials (using bagel insides as bait) I was able to recreate a poor version of the original.  Stay tuned: updates coming soon.

 

Green Card Run

So we had a last minute change of heart to renew Chika’s US Greencard, which is not a big deal until you have to travel with 11-month Kai.  Amidst all the anxiety of travelling, getting around, dealing with daily routines, etc., it turned out to be a really nice trip.  We didn’t plan any major activities, so it was just Kai all day (which started at 1:30am the first night) for 5 days.  I think we need to have these more often (but will be happy if the Greencard app goes through without needing to return for an interview).

Papa Misses Kai!!!

I found myself going through all the photos, and in tribute made a collage of papa & Kai.  So many adventures (Japan, France, Austria, Germany, USA) and so many moments, including some “b-sides” that didn’t make the cut the first time around, and some candid moments as well.

Zoo Lunch

After taking nap for a few hours, Kai finally woke up for lunch. We’ll see lions today after this!
