Sorry I've been really lazy online - sort of busy chasing Kai! Enjoy!

Malakai just got his first haircut today!! He was a very good boy; I think he enjoyed all the attention - his mom, dad, granny and paw paw were there!

malakai was a big help unpacking boxes at our new house!

this was Christmas - he was a happy boy!

BREAKING NEWS:

Malakai has SEVEN teeth! He isn't even 9 months old yet! AND, he knows how to USE them!

Malakai's first Thanksgiving was a sad one, he had RSV; but he's doing great now. He went on his first plane ride and attended his Granddaddy's wedding in Louisiana. Is was a great trip but we are really glad to get home safe! He's also seen his first snow, although he was very sleepy and didn't seem to care what might be falling from the sky. We're looking forward to the Holidays and hopefully moving into our house soon!

New Tooth!

Malakai has 3 teeth now! Right after the first one came in (two weeks later) we had a second. Now he has cut one of his top teeth and the one next to it is very close to coming through! Lots of drool, runny nose, and some diaper rash (that could be from new foods i suppose).
Also today, he got a new walker. I've been hesitant to get him one, but thought it would be fun! So far, he loves the sesame street toys on it, but hasn't figured out that it can move, he does try jumping, which he's used to in the jumping toys.
Malakai is all smiles these days! He's been eating solid (well, semi-solid) foods and I'm still breastfeeding. He love vegetables but won't really eat fruits (fine with me!) He does like chicken, too! He's "talking" too! Loves saying da-da-da, and some ma-ma-ma when he's feeling down. ta-ta-ta is also a favorite, and he's experimenting with a la-la-la and something that sounds alot like sh-sh-ita-ta...if ya know what i mean! His favorite thing is to growl at me and laugh!
He's really, really close to crawling! He likes the army crawl with his arms, and he can push with feet, but not with the belly off the ground or on his knees...but it won't be long! He certainly doesn't stay where I put him anymore!
We're looking forward to the holidays, vacation time at home, and hopefully moving into our very own house!
