6 hours in a row!

Kai slept for 6 hours in a row last night! This is a wonderful development for our little man who has previously only slept for 3 to 4 hours if we were lucky. I couldn't believe it. He might have even slept longer if I hadn't poked him to make sure he was still breathing!!! Hopefully, Kai's turned a corner and will start sleeping longer. Although Kai is still having reflux issues, he is really a happy baby (when he's not in pain). He loves kisses and smiles real wide when we give them to him. He also smiles really big the first time he focuses on our faces after a nap. It's so adorable, just melts our hearts! It's crazy how one little smile from him can make tears come to my eyes.

Sage is doing great too - becoming such a big boy. He learns things so quickly now. We only have to show him how to do something once and he's got it. He's also becoming quite the social butterfly. Yesterday, at the playground, he was getting hugs from all the little girls. One little girl was mesmerized by his curly locks and kept running her hands through his hair. It was too cute! Sage loves the playground - he can even go up the steps and down the little slide by himself. Which, of course, is the only way he'll do it - so independent. He hates it when I try to hold his hand!

As we were leaving the playground yesterday, I let Sage walk back to the car. The sun was going down behind us and Sage discovered his shadow in a field full of leaves. I watched him laugh and giggle as he tried to catch his shadow while running across the field. It was such a beautiful sight - the colorful leaves, the setting sun, the giggling child chasing his shadow. I think moments like that are so incredible because they always remind me of what life is all about.
