Kai

Kai is now almost 14 months old! I can't believe that he is that old already. Of course it doesn't help that he doesn't look his age. He is still weighing in at 15 lbs 11 ozs and 29 inches long. He has not gained any weight or grown in height in the past 3-4 weeks. I think partly due to the fact that he has had some upper respiratory gunk and that he is on the go so much. He gets around and gets to places he wants to go. He is still doing the tummy crawl, but pushes with his right foot. He doesn't like to stay in one room, he likes to be where everyone else is at. He is starting to pull himself up onto his knees, although he is not in proper position. He tries very hard to get into things he isn't suppose to be in ;) Now that he is more mobile, he doesn't always enjoy having his leg braces on. I think once he figures out what else he can do when he has his braces on, he won't mind having them on. Even though Kai is not a normal toddler, he sometimes sure acts like one! He gets mad when you tell him "no" and take things away that he shouldn't have. He gets mad when Gavin or Jace takes things away from. Already fighting with the brothers! Sometimes I look at other kids around the same age as Kai and I get a little sad. But after reflecting on all that Kai has accomplished, I am happy and so proud of him! He is definitely one unique little boy and I love him to death! Last week Kai got his right hearing aid re-molded. He ear has grown and changed a bit. We should be getting the new ear mold in a few weeks. He is definitely doing more babbling talk. He seems to be starting to understand what some words mean. At the end of this week, Kai will be visiting the neurologist and the upper extremities doctor. Next week, Kai and I are going to "hibernate" to avoid being around any sickness. We need to keep him as healthy as possible for his surgery day. He is scheduled for surgery on December 18 and will be in the hospital for 3-5 days, possibly 7. Hopefully he will get out in time for Christmas. I will keep everyone posted.
