Check out all of Kai's teeth now! He's so big now. Our favorite Kai Kai is back in town to celebrate Auntie Liz's 21st Birthday…again! They arrived on Sunday, Feb. 15th — Auntie and Ninong Ray decided to pick them up from the airport (We love Zipcar!) and to Auntie's surprise, walked into the airport…

So, what's an Auntie to do when she's missing her favorite nephew in the world?!? She looks at old photos and old videos, and she feels much better.  I can't wait to see him when he arrives to NYC on Feb. 15th! Here's one of my favorite old videos — he didn't even have teeth…

Mommy Remy and Kai @ Chucky Cheese — Kai's taking a little break. Kai loves his Mommy Remy! He feels so safe with her.  Kai would like to say "Happy Birthday, Mommy Remy!  Thank you for always spoiling me and taking good care of me! I love you."

Kai in LA during Christmas-time. My other nickname for Kai Kai is Bubba.  That's the name he actually gave me, so I like to say it back to him. Happy 14 months, Bubba! Can't wait to see you in NYC in February for my birthday!

That's right, Kai took his FIRST steps as an INDEPENDENT LITTLE MAN on Wed. Jan. 21!!! WOOHOO!!!! But the "little rascal", as we like to call him, in true Sagittarian form, learned to walk when HE felt he was ready. Whenever any of us tried to stand him up for "walking practice", he resisted.  Well,…

Of course, the day I leave to go back to NYC, the weather in LA had to be sunny and gorgeous.  It had been rainy and cold the days before.  But don't let the looks fool you, the pool is FREEEEZING COLD. Kai did not care at all.  We're so happy he's not afraid of…

On my last night in LA, the whole fam went to the Grove — where else can you get outdoor shopping, and fake snow with Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" playing in the background? You gotta love LA!  Casasolas at The Grove       Kai ordering us a cheesecake from                Kai…

While in LA during Christmas-time, we all went to Chucky Cheese! It was Kai's first time there — we had wanted to take him for his 1st birthday in NYC, but he was sick. He absolutely loved it — loved the games, when Chucky sings, he loved it all.  We also got to meet up…

Merry Christmas! We spent Christmas Eve at our Uncle Ponso's house in LA, which was formerly our Lola's house — so many memories we had in that house.  I wish that Lola was there to celebrate with us.  I don't think I've been there in 10 years.  It was an amazing time with family —…

Kai's at that stage where he's asserting his independence.  You go get that milk, Kai!
