Caught white handed

Grandma Maihaa brought Kaya an ice cream cake with a horse for Kaya's actual birthday.

Adlai was supposed to be smiling for a family photo but instead we caught him nabbing the candle on film.

Kaya was mildly shocked. Adlai was curious about the white stuff on his fingers.

Kaya calls Adlai "a little mischief." I wonder why.

I'll Huff and I'll Puff

Kaya successfully blew out two of her three candles with one big breath.

The last candle took another try.

And another try.

And about 6 more tries before it finally went out. That's a lot of boyfriends. Mommy and Daddy better watch out!

Kaya's Birthday

Aunt Pam was able to visit and help us celebrate Kaya's third birthday. Unfortunately we had to cancel her party because she was sick. Kaya was a trooper though. She was very excited about decorating her angel food cake with little teddy bears and placing three candles on top.

All the animals

Kaya takes good care of all her animals. They get routine checkups, eat meals, have their diapers changed, enjoy tea parties and join her on the couch for naps.

Adlai, never one to attempt things by halves, has taken to running, pivoting, stepping over obstacles and teetering to regain his balance in addition to plain old walking. He also likes carrying objects around and throwing them.

Ball caps

Adlai wanted to wear his ball cap just like Daddy.

100%

Kaya wanted to pick out her own outfit today. She settled upon her plaid skirt, stripped tights and 100% loveable shirt.

First steps

Adlai decided to take more than 4 steps for the first time today. Here is a clip of one of the first times that he walked.
