Well, its hard to believe its been three weeks since we are home! We've had good days and bad this week. When I think back to our time in China, and the blog post where I said I can't believe how much of a baby he still is, I realize just how far Kai has come! To think that at first he was afraid to sit in the little rocker, now I'm lucky if he's just sitting in it! The babyish toys he was first afraid of and then enamored with have now been discarded for bigger better things, like my IPad:)
Kai has gotten pretty good at telling us what he wants, he still doesn't say many English words but he is definitely understanding a lot more! We discovered that he loves pictures, I've been trying to work on his life book when he naps but I feel like my attempts are juvenile at best and very hurried. As you can see from the picture below he enjoys looking at it anyway!
We had a very small family party to welcome Kai last weekend, he had a blast, he just ran and ran and ran. The hit of the night was the balloons, he took them home and played with them for days!

I also think back to how Kai used to be in the tub. Sitting in one spot afraid to move a muscle or get water in his eyes. NOW, Reuben is in charge of bathes at night and it gets pretty wild in there. Loud odd noises come from the bathroom and water is splashed everywhere, he is a fish now days and dumps cup after cup of water over his face!
Kai is slowly starting to let a few people hold him now for a few minutes, I'm glad he is still standoffish around others, to me it's a good sign that he is bonding to us the way he should!
Kai's relationship with Reuben has improved so much it's unbelievable, I did get to go away by myself the one night and he did really well, he only cried for a little while and then he was completely fine! Reuben also took him somewhere in the truck with out me the other night, no complaints from Kai! It used to be he would have been screaming before they even got to the truck!
The other day Kai wanted to go outside, I put his coat on and off he went all the way to the back fence with me at the door. He was just gabbering away at the dogs as fast as he could! ha When we first where home he wouldn't even let his feet touch the ground outside! Big progress, Big...
Here is Kai in his spot doing his favorite thing ever, playing with momma's IPad, notice Adam sleeping so sweetly right next to him! Adam and Andrew are doing quite well with Kai, Kai can really tell them off!! It makes me smile when he gabbers at them and they just look at him like "huh?" Well we have a busy week next week with Christmas and going back up to Akron Children's. I can't believe next week is my last week before I go back to work! I've not given it hardly any thought and I need to start asap, we will be starting to bring Reuben's mom back as she will be babysitting. Well Kai has had enough of me being on the computer soooooo.........
