...from then....to now...


[picture taken when he was about 1 month old.]

can you believe it? because i can't! kai is 9 months old, well he's actually 9 months and 1 week, but i won't get technical. did someone speed up time? i want to be frozen in this moment. my little baby boy is growing up too fast. pretty soon, garrett and i will be having another and he will be a BIG brother. our little malakai never ceases to amaze. he's been crawling since he was 5 1/2 months old. pulling himself up since he was six months old. walking along things since he was 6 1/2 months old. free standing since he was 7 months old, and now he is trying to master taking steps by himself. he is a quick learner. he is also learning how to melt our hearts by blurting out "ma-ma" and "da-da" and even though we know he doesn't know it's us. it still is the most wonderful sound to hear. i love this little boy more than he will ever know. he helps me to keep things in perspective about knowing what is really important. FAMILY.

thank you malakai for brightening our days, for making us smile, and for helping us in becoming the best parents we can be. we love you so much and look forward to teaching you, and helping you become the best person we know you can be.

love your most-beautiful-loving-awesome-spectacular-fantastic-wonderful-wicked-sweet-parents-in-the-whole-wide-world-ever:

mom & dad. : )

Awh, he is the best baby. Does he walk yet? (I started walking at 9 months.)

Ps. The 'word verification' I have to type in for this comment is 'rerms'. Who's coming up with this stuff?
