Kai Isaac 15 months

To mark Kai's 15 month "birthday" we took him to the Dr to see if we could get some more answers behind his allergies. Of the items we tested: wheat, corn, milk, soy, peanuts, egg whites...It turns out he's allergic to Egg Whites. The Dr. said that there's a small possibility that milk is in there too but probably not. I, however, beg to differ. I still think he's allergic to milk and will further test that one. But, it's nice to know that I can begin reintroducing some of the others :)

According to the measurements at the Dr, Kai is 30 inches...hasn't grown in the past 2 months?! putting him in the 20th% and is 21 lb 9 oz putting him in the 7th% for weight. Yes, this is the same kid that was born 9.8 lbs and 21 inches long.

Learning to feed himself with a spoon. Got to love those peas.
Giving us a glimpse of the future...talking on the phone.

His vocabulary hasn't grown too much either (not that we're concerned in the least!). Pretty much everything is some variation of "ba-ba" or "uh-oh"...he does have Mama down to a T as well as a new SCREECHing sound when he doesn't get to do or have something he wants. Kai loves to give open mouth kisses and gives great hugs. He still loves to laugh and up until this past week was sleeping from 8pm - 9:30am with a 2 hr afternoon nap. Kai loves, loves, loves his older brother. He thinks the best game is to grab something Kadyn is playing with and take off running, laughing, and squealing in the opposite direction. Though Kadyn doesn't think this is amusing, it does get his attention.

The funny thing with the Baba's is that he looks you right in the eye as he's saying it and if you don't understand right away which he's talking about he gets closer to your face and tries to look you more squarely in the eye. I think of someone trying to ask a Spanish speaking person for a glass of water in English and each time they say "water" they get louder...like if you get louder you'll understand what they say.

I could just eat this little boy up. Kai Isaac, you're wonderful. And we daily "rejoice in your laughter."
