Baby steps

Sora is finally starting to progress forward! After weeks of drooling, we felt two nubby teeth on bottom half of her gum line. Our little girl is growing up.. I'll miss her gummy smile. :D

She's also starting to take steps forward. Before, even though we held her standing upright, she would just stand there.. but now, she's starting to take wobbly steps forward. I'm sure she'll be running after Kai before we know it.

Not yet walking and already causing trouble

The exciting news of the week is that we finally closed on our new house! After some delays and mishaps (courtesy of Bank of America), we signed the papers and are the proud owners of a new house. We don't actually move until mid-August because the previous owners are still living there, but we need to start packing now because August will undoubtedly be crazy. We brought Kai and Sora with us to the title company for the document signing and they were obviously not as excited as Nik and me.

"Titles and escrow are booooring..."

Although we're excited about moving, I've mentioned before that we'll miss having the Shaws nearby and Kai will certainly miss Evelyn. On Friday, Kai and Evelyn were basically wearing the same outfit. And today at church, Abby joined in on the fun.

Twins!

Running amok

We'll also miss our awesome neighbors; Darla and the kids were chin-sitting and left us a bowl of plums upon our return from So Cal. Kai loves them, although he likes to take two bites, say, "no eat seed!" and then he proceeds to grab a new plum.

With Grandma Udom away, we've been visiting my parents' house a lot. Kai likes visiting Matthew's closet to play with his old Legos and today he found an old golf club that he was using as a walking stick.

When the Matty's away, the Kai will play.

My mom also managed to get a decent, albeit blurry, full family picture (it's been a while since we've taken one of those).
