Kid taxi

This past week was a busy one for me, I spent a lot of time driving the kids around for childcare purposes--it'll be like that until the beginning of February when Nik's mom returns from Thailand and she'll then stay with us on a semi-permanent basis and help out with the kids. This coming week is an even busier week (because Nik will be working a lot), but once we get past it, things should get better.


We acquired a used exersaucer from Lin which Sora is too small to use, so right now, we use it as a place to put the chinchillas when we have them out of the cage. Kai loves watching the chins and messing around with them as they run around on it, although I'm not sure that either Chubs or Skinnay are enjoying this new toy.


We love watching Kai develop his imaginary play. These days, when we feed him he'll want his stuffed friends (or cars!) to also "eat" or "drink" and he won't let us feed him until we feed them first. In this picture he's "cooking" our veggie magnets, much to our amusement, he'd blow on the veggies as if they were hot.


He can also be quite bossy and a lot of time he'll want to sit in chair that say I'm sitting in, only to want to switch again a few minutes later. It can be hard for me and Nik, because most of the time, it's difficult to discern what he wants, and he'll just cry and cry until we figure it out.

"Outta the way, mama!"

Sora is still working on strengthening her neck muscles and can't quite hold her head up yet, but she's getting stronger. She hates tummy time, but we're working on it.

The dreaded tummy time

Almost a smile

She's becoming quite the little conversationalist and we love it when she smiles and coos. Here she is, having a conversation with her papa. In the background, you can hear Kai singing the "A-B-C" song to himself.
