Strike A Pose...The Sequel

When you join this family we tolerate you waking us up at all hours, we'll clean up your poop and the whole nine yards.  Just know that there's always a price to pay.  In our case, we make you pose a lot for our entertainment.  Here's Kai:

Does that look familiar?  Here's that same pose with Will...though Will was probably older since he wasn't swaddled up:

Here's Kai again:

 And yes, he did barrow that beanie from Will, see below:

Kai:

 Will:

 It's nice to see little brother follow big brother's foot steps, as he looks after him:

 But there will always be some things that they do on their own:

 This one looks like Kai is about to do the Karate Kid Crane kick:

Open To The Public

Had lots of visitors that came to see the new baby:

Also had other family come over.  All of them saw Kai in the hospital, but it's always nice to have people come over and hang out.  Someone else came over...but she seemed more interested in someone else:

Will loves playing with Lily so much....he even lent her his binx and didn't throw a fit when she kept it for a while.  So nice of Tri and Thuy to come visit and bring good food!

Here's some more Christmas pics:

 I'm not sure what that expression on my face is...but I suppose I'm just shocked that I have two boys:

 And that I have to carry both of them at the same time all of the time:

 With all this baby talk...some members of the family are feeling left out:

 I can't even find Yumi anymore!  Poor roos...

The Checkup

We had to take Kai in for a routine checkup which the hospital recommended we do after a few days.  One thing I will say is that the office was crowded with lots of new born Christmas babies.  We had to wait a while so we distracted ourselves and found some things that are baby sized:

 We eventually saw a doctor and the baby had to strip down:

 Since Kai looked so cute, Mom had to join in on the fun:

Why does that not surprise me?:

 Kai is a shy and bashful little baby and had to cover up after the exam:

 As with all infants, everything they do is so freakin' cute that we just had to get all the poses:

And we had to document where he was born:

All these pictures with mama got me jealous so Kai and I had some alone time and I got a good pic:

 Am I that boring?

Home At Last

Somethings you have to do with an infant...such as making them wear ridiculously cute beanies:

 Kai is sleeping well at his new home:

 He's eating well...and even peeing well...I just wish he didn't do it on me:

The one person that is not doing as well is Will.  Jealous doesn't even begin to describe it.  We have to find ways to distract him from Mom and Kai, so we took him out on one of his new toys:

For some reason people like to ride things at my house:

It's a bit rough for big brother.  Mom can't pick him up for a few weeks until she's fully recovered and he doesn't not have our full attention anymore.  But as long as we keep him busy and get him tired, he'll deal with it and sleep anywhere:

Returning To The Scene Of The Crime

I know I typed the story, but here are some pictures of the day Kai was born...also known as Christmas Eve to a lesser extent.

Things were all good this time around.  No complications, quick birth, and beautiful baby.  Mom got all her wishes grant so she thought she'd push the envelope and wish for peace on Earth:

 Alas, that one didn't work out.  After the boy popped out, he was lojacked so nobody could take him:

Here's a strange story.  The nurse that helped deliver Will:

Her name is Wendy.  We recognized her from somewhere...turns out she was the nurse that helped deliver Will 2 years and 1 month earlier:

That's her in the background.  Hard to tell in the pictures, but she's one in the same.  We had her take our first picture with baby Kai:

She cut off my head!  Well, she's a better nurse than photographer thank God.  I did get some alone time with Kai really quick:

 The next day, we got some visitors...some of them missed the point of the visit and just played around:

Will eventually met Kai and I got to take my first picture with the boys:

And then eventually our very first family photo...Kai is thrilled to have us as you can see:

All in all, it was easy going for the two nights we stayed there.  Kai was VERY good and I did not lose as much sleep as I did with Will:

Mom pretty much recovered the same day and looked good:

Last time she looked way worse (shhh, don't tell her I said that!):

And what would a special day be without mom taking one of her famous color accent pictures:

We were a bit split on if Kai looked like Will when he was born. We held him next to a picture we had on this blog of Will...what do you think, do they look the same?:

We could have gone home on the 24th, but they wouldn't let us go until Kai took a leak.  He finally did and we went home at noon on Christmas day:

 After a long stay, the first thing we did is crash...and found out some things are genetic apparently:
