A Year Worth of Pictures
So, needless to say, I was completely overwhelmed by the transition from one child to two children. Around Blayze's 1/2 birthday I felt like things began to settle down, however I still wasn't able to get the blog caught up. So here is my attempt at catching things up. There will not be long detailed posts as I used to be able to do, partly because I have so many pictures/events to add and partly because I just don't remember all the details anymore...sad, I know, but hopefully the blurbs will be telling enough to jog my memory in the future. I will post the pictures by month and do other posts by age with one post with blurbs about all of Blayze's milestones thus far, hard to believe he will be 1 in a month!! So, enjoy and keep checking back often until I am caught up :o)

Kai is 2 1/2 years old!!
Here are some of the things Kai is saying at 2 1/2 years old:
No my stay home, you go you self mommy
No my don't or Yes my do
Yes, my am listening
My wuvs u Bwayze
You have a good sweep (sleep) Bwayze? (When he wakes up in the morning)
No, my good
My fine
Mamma mamma howd (hold) me
Good job Bwayze, good burps
Bwayzerton
Bwayze Archie
My sad
My miss u Daddy
My frustrated
No you hackin' me off Daddy (something he picked up from Greg)
My superfast
Super Why, power to read save the day (One of his favorite PBS shows right now)
In Kai's pretend play he has started to have his toys talk to each other and I overheard him saying, "That not nice you no listen my words," which is something we say to him often.
You miss you mommy? Omie miss PopPop (this was after we took my mom to the airport when she visited for Blayze's birth and I cried on the way home. We also talked about how Omie had to go home to see PopPop because she missed him.)
My need tell u sumpin'
Shut up stupid (which he picked up from a Toy Story movie, ugh)
My tan't (can't)
Come on play
Go bookstore or Go toy store
No way or Yes way
Wuv u too, so much mommy
Sucka dog (also something he picked up from Greg)
Don't say that, that not nice word
Let's do it!
That weird
Burp me mommy!
Let's play throw or Play kick
Kai talks a lot about video chatting with family members. Sometimes he will say, "My no want to video chat, my want see him!"
Kai also talks a lot about me breastfeeding Blayze. He will talk about him having milk in his boobies and daddy having milk in his boobies to feed Blayze. We have lots of conversations about how only mommies can do that :o)
When my mom was here for Blayze's birth there was one time that we talked to my dad and he was having meatballs for dinner. Ever since then Kai has wanted to call PopPop to see if he is eating meatballs for dinner, which he thinks is the funniest thing ever!
Kai will fist bump people and say "pshhh" after he does it.
Kai now sings verses of songs including Twinkle, Twinkle, Itsy Bitsy Spider and ABCs.
He dances by stomping his feet and kicking his leg.
Kai was in Liz and Mark's wedding and still talks about going back to their "party".
We have been getting into the routine of praying at night with Kai. One night this month he prayed that he was thankful for our friend Kristen from church before saying thanks for Mommy and Daddy, it was super sweet!
Kai has been having bad dreams about dragons lately. He will wake up and call out for us and when we ask what's going on he always talks about dragons...we are not sure where this has come from.
Our friend Jason was over one night and playing with Kai he picked up the Lightning McQueen car and said, "Ker chow!" Kai corrected him quickly by saying, "No! Ka-chow!!" Jason was schooled by a 2 year old :o)
We continue to be amazed by the things Kai says and understands! It is so fun to watch him grow and we are so thankful to be his parents!!

Visit from Omie and PopPop
My parents came to visit for a weekend in November for my dad to meet Blayze for the first time and for them to celebrate Blayze's baptism with us. We did some family pictures, impromptu leaf pictures and TRIED to get some brother pictures, however those didn't go so well as you will see!
Blayze's Baptism
Blayze was baptized at our new church, Hope Chapel, on Sunday, November 21st, where we became members earlier this month. My parents and lots of friends joined us to celebrate the special day. Blayze wore, just like Kai and everyone else on my mom's side of the family, the gown which is now about 90 years old! We were also given the bowl that held the baptism water to be given to Blayze some day as a reminder of his baptism. Everyone came to our house for pizza, salad and cake afterward and enjoyed some time in the leaves out front! It was a great day!
Thanksgiving
We spent Thanksgiving at the Pell's again this year, but ended up with only a couple of pictures, I guess Greg didn't bring his camera! We had a great time with friends celebrating this year, especially since we had to miss out on this tradition last year!!

2 Months Old
At Blayze's 2 month check up he was 13 lbs 9 oz and 24 1/2 inches long, both of which are in the 90th percentile! He had 3 shots and 1 by mouth, he cried but quickly recovered. He had his first tylenol and slept a lot! Here are the pictures of him with his first band-aids! The shirt he has on is very fitting :o)

First Outing as a Family of Four to the Transportation Museum!
Kai loved riding the train and trolley and Blayze slept through most of it!
Liz and Mark's Wedding!!
Kai was the ring bearer in our friends Liz and Mark's wedding. Liz is the one that watched Kai for us often so that we could have a date, thank you! Kai would not go down the aisle by himself at the rehearsal, so we had to figure out a way to motivate him for the day of the wedding :o) We ended up getting him the Sheriff car from Cars and told him he could have it if he made to Mommy who was sitting on the second row. He made it to me (but not all the way to the front with Liz and Mark) and got his reward. Then he sat quietly through the ceremony with candy and thankfully it was a short one! He looked super cute and it was great to get to be a part of their day in this way!!
The Pumpkin Patch
We made our annual trip to the pumpkin patch this year as family of four. We enjoyed a tractor ride, a ride in the cow train and the corn bins as always!
Halloween Fun!
We carved pumpkins, made jack-o-lantern cookies (Kai ate more than he decorated :o) and trick-or-treated with the Pells! Kai chose his costume this year, an elephant, so we found a cute tiger outfit for Blayze and they were our wild animals (a somewhat fitting description of them :o) The Pells were dressing up with their kids so Greg and I joined in...he was the tiger tamer and I was the elephant trainer, it was fun!
Random Pictures
Blayze trying to lift his head and see in the mirror, hanging out with Kai, looking sweet, sleeping, chatting with the dinosaurs (he was cooing at them like crazy!) and Daddy giving Blayze his first bottle (he drank it like a champ!).
