Kai has always wanted to do things by himself. He's so independent. It's one of those bitter sweet things for me since I'm so happy he's developing his motor skills but at the same time it makes me sad to think he's growing up. It's so funny...before I had Kai I used to hate guys who were a "mama's boy". But now with Kai, it doesn't bother me one bit! Jason always says "you're babying him and he needs to be a tough boy!" But you know what? I don't care!!! He can be the biggest mama's boy and that would be JUST FINE with me! Kids really do change your perspective on life!
Kai LOVES to feed himself cheerios and star puffs, but the other day, he just wouldn't stop reaching for the spoon I was using to feed him his oatmeal. Finally, I let him hold it as I guided it into his mouth and you wouldn't believe the big SMILE on his face. It was glowing with pride and this was an "I did it!" moment for him. I've seen him do this couple of times...when he stood up for the first time, when he caught a ball for the first time, etc. It is such a cute look! For a smile like this, I would almost let him do anything! He was just so happy that he finally was able to hold onto the spoon...Of course, he's not yet ready to do it by himself because if he did, he would be wearing more food than what actually goes into his mouth, but I know he'll keep on trying...Keep up the good work Kai...but don't grow up too fast on me!
