giving thanks
Kai’s abilities continue to amaze me. On Thursday, we hosted Kai’s first Thanksgiving dinner at our home, and he brought both sets of Erin’s parents together and even inspired a wonderful surprise visit.
Thanksgiving was awesome. Our families all came together and had a great time. We hosted dinner for 22 people in our backyard. Halfway through the party, my parents had to leave to go their friend’s house whom they were obliged to visit. They said they would return shortly for dinner. When they returned, they completely surprised all of us by showing up with my sister, Lanna! They tricked me! I was very happy to see her — she had just flown in from Seattle to spend the weekend with us. Just in time for dinner, too... It was so good that we decided to have a second Thanksgiving dinner on Friday night, with a smaller group and a fried turkey, thanks to Uncle Eric and Aunt Kelly.
Kai has become a prolific drooler. He has apparently forgotten how to keep his mouth shut, and drools all over himself. It’s so damn cute and funny. His hand-eye coordination is improving rapidly — anything he can get his little tiny fingers around heads straight for his mouth. He’s like a little vacuum cleaner.
My parents are leaving for their annual Thailand vacation tomorrow, and won’t be back until February. At lunch with them today, Erin mentioned that Kai will be six months old by the time they get back. It’s hard to get my head around how far we’ve come since this time last year. In fact, last year at this time we didn’t even know that Erin was pregnant.
For an early Christmas present, my parents gave me an iPod Shuffle. This thing is literally the size of a matchbook. It’s crazy small. It may actually be a choking hazard for Kai.
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, thanks to all of you for reading and your words of support. Your comments keep me typing.
