baby smiles

I swear that Kai smiled at me when I came home from work today. I nearly cried. And then, when he was on his swing and I walked in a circle around it, he totally followed me with his eyes.

Speaking of his eyes, they are definitely less crusty now. We massage his tear ducts as often as possible. Kai is also getting very good at fooling me into thinking he’s sound asleep. I’ll rock him in my arms for a long time, then the second I go to put him down he opens his eyes. It’s like, hey what are you doing? I’m not ready to be put down yet, buddy. Keep on rocking, dad.

I’m going to start working with my future brother-in-law doing residential real estate appraisals. He has an existing appraisal business going, and this is a great opportunity for me. I plan to work far less hours than I currently do, make more money and spend more time with Kai. Sounds good, eh? So if any of you know any mortgage lenders or brokers that could use a reliable, efficient appraiser, send them my way.
