The biggest news for us is that our new nanny, Melissa started on Friday (7/25)! We survived 2 weeks without a nanny, it was fun, but we are sure glad that Melissa is here now! Thanks again to everyone who prayed for us and helped us get through the transition.
The Indiana Lesnet house is now officially baby proofed. I'm sure Kai will still find a way to pick up some bumps and bruises here at the house, but hopefully these few measures will help prevent a trip to the old E.R.. We have some pretty awesome gate configurations and our kitchen drawers and cabinets are a little tricky now. We would like to invite everyone over to test our home's new safety features.
Kai has quite the well rounded diet of fruits and vegetables now. In addition to the cereal, avocados and bananas that he had on our last post, he now eats sweet potatoes, peaches, green beans, carrots and applesauce. He loves the peaches just like daddy! I keep putting steak on Kai's "to do" list of foods to try but it keeps getting crossed off...
Last weekend, there were some classes offered at our church. They had things like "Chasing After God", "Intro to Common Ground", and even a class on budgeting. I took a class on Raising a Modern Day Knight, which is based on a book by the same name that is authored by Robert Lewis. The book is fantastic and I would highly recommend it to all men and especially to those men whom God has trusted with a son.
Kai has made a few developmental milestones since my last update. First off, he can now get in to the seated position by himself. He is also getting pretty close to crawling. He has been "army crawling" for the past couple of weeks but he is now getting up on all 4's and rocking back and forth. He can crawl backwards a little bit but he hasn't quite figured out going forward yet. When he tries to go forward, he ends up doing a shoulder roll on to his back. It's pretty funny but I haven't been able to catch it on video yet. Since he is getting so mobile, we have lowered his crib to the lowest possible setting. It looks a lot more like a big boy bed now but it is kind of rough to reach down and pick him up in the AM when your back is still pretty tight after a night of sleep.
We had an enormous day today! We got up and went to church in the morning where we heard a great sermon. Common Ground, posts all of the sermons on their website, so I would highly recommend that you check it out! After church, we ran a couple of errands and then went downtown to Victory Field to see the Indianapolis Indians take on the Toledo Mudhens! We only were able to make it through the 3rd inning but we had a blast! Kai loved the atmosphere and he even got a little coin bank of Rowdy, the Indians mascot. Here are some pictures of us at the game!
This one is awesome!!
From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the LORD his God. 2 He said: "In my distress I called to the LORD, and he answered me. From the depths of the grave I called for help, and you listened to my cry. - Jonah 2:1
