Superbowl, Zoo, School

Jon and Kai went to Brian and Shelly's to watch the Bears play the Packers in the game that sent the Pack to the Superbowl. Sad day, but adorable picture.



We had a seasonably warm day in an otherwise unseasonably cold and snowy winter...and discovered winter at the Como Zoo with Mike, Patty and Addie!


We've had a busy couple of months! This week Kai started school three days a week at the MacDonald Montessori and two days a week in Nonnie's Garden play group (followed by afternoons with Nonnie). He totally digs the other kids at both- he was totally ready for this!

Kai has finally started to really take an interest in trying to talk! If you catch him at the right time he'll attempt about any word. He's been really good at following directions and comprehending the meaning of words for a while, but shy about trying himself. It's been a pretty awesome change. His annunciation is pretty comical on the words he is most confident with. "More" has a roll at the end like the pronunciation of "Flor" in the movie Spanglish (See 0:26 at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXkSBXrdDxs) - while he simultaneously signs it; "bye" sounds more like "bouy"; "cookie" is simply "key" (This is particularly cute when one isn't enough and he says, "Keeeeeeeee! Keyee! Keeeee-ee-yeeeeeee!!"
