Real progress



Kenzo has really wanted to walk more and more (with help, of course) since being at day care and watching everyone else walk around. Here's some photos from last weekend!


Dad and Kenzo...












 Now with mom...

 Using the walker in our room!












 
Going down the stairs backwards. I realize this looks a lot like going upstairs, but trust me on this one.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a great afternoon at Jen & Derek's house yesterday. We are very thankful for such wonderful friends who also happen to be incredible chefs!
 Kjell and his auntie Heather!
Kjell, Eric & Kenzo playing before dinner.
How many people did Jen plan on feeding?! So much delicious food as usual! Note the small pan of pancetta-free cornbread stuffing for Eric...very thoughtful of our hosts!
Kenzo enjoyed the turkey, stuffing, veggies & pie. We are so thankful for our perfect little dude!

Breakfast

We're getting better with using a spoon! Well let's face it, today was just a lucky day :)

Taking the Next Step

 Today was Kenzo's second "trial run" at day care. We found Mi Casita, a home-based day care facility outside of Tahoe City, run by Camila, the sweetest and nicest Argentinian woman! Many of our friends' kids have gone or go there now, so that was a big plus in deciding where to take our little dude.

So far so good! Kenzo loves playing with the new toys and new friends at Camila's and is eating well and napping too. In fact, he crawled right past me when I showed up this afternoon! What a relief to have Kenzo in such great care and to know that he's not fully traumatized by the whole thing :)

No photos of Kenzo at Camila's, as I was too overwhelmed with everything else going on! 

Kenzo has really gotten good with signing "more!" He also does "eat / food," but mostly when prompted. Hmm, then again, his "more" could also just mean "graham cracker"...hard to tell! On another note, Kenzo's facial expressions are really getting animated. Here's his "angry" face....

He loves giving Oscar treats....

And one last shot of me and the babe. He's wearing his fancy KENZO sweatshirt, given to us from friends who went to the KENZO store in Paris....ooh la la! Good thing we didn't name him Yves or Gucci!
