New tricks

Happy Spring! We are really enjoying this weather! Kai loves going for walks so we try to do it every day that we can! I can't wait to see him at the pool...I think he's going to LOVE it! Kai has learned how to wave hi/bye and he's started clapping. He's also starting to stand in place for a little bit and Derek was lucky enough to catch some video of that. He still needs a little support, but it won't be long before he can do it on his own! He's working on his 5th tooth this week so he's been a little fussy and sleeping more. Kai was 21 1/2 pounds last week at his surgery followup so we are going to switch into the new carseat this weekend! I can't believe it! Should make the school dropoff a little more interesting since we can't carry him around in the carrier anymore......think we'll use the stroller. He really just wants to get down and crawl around at school, but I won't let him.....I think about all those germs and it freaks me out. :)
His surgery follow-up went well and they were pleased with how things are healing. There was still a little fluid, but they said it should go away within a few weeks. There's a 20% chance that he could develop one on the other side, so let's hope that doesn't happen! We have his 9 month appointment (a little late!) next week. It will be interesting to see where he falls in height and weight.
Thanks for reading and enjoy the videos! He's become a real woodchuck these days...I got a gummi rail for the front of the crib, but now he's discovered the sides of the crib as you can see in the video.....little stinker!
