"Throughout our lives, we must deal with change. Some changes are welcome; some are not. There are changes in our lives which are sudden, such as the unexpected passing of a loved one, an unforeseen illness, the loss of a possession we treasure. But most of the changes take place subtly and slowly. Day by day, minute by minute, second by second we went from where we were to where we are now. The lives of all of us, of course, go through similar alterations and changes. The difference between the changes in my life and the changes in yours is only in the details. Time never stands still; it must steadily march on, and with the marching come the changes. This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now. Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family. One day each of us will run out of tomorrows. " Thomas S. Monson

Another month has come and gone. They are just flying!
Khai you are so much fun, you are SUCH a sweet happy little guy, laughing and smiling all the time, i LOVE you little skunk face you do when you smile so big!

its only a matter of weeks now or less before you get the crawling on all 4's down..you rock but haven't got it down yet. really IAM OK with that though, i just love and enjoy each stage you are in!
You just got a new little cousin that was born 2 weeks ago and when we sit you guys by each other you are HUGE, really HUGE haha! it will be nice that you two will be close...only 8 months apart, you will be the closest cousins in age thus far.
I just put up the Christmas tree a few days ago and you rolled your way over to it and laid under it and looked at all the lights, touched a few bulbs and then carried on your way...you like to lay in front of it and drink your bottle..which now you hold all by your self!
you HATE baby food but love our food...we just gave you cooked carrots and potato's from my home made soup and you were in heaven eating that...we also just gave you your first taste of juice and you really like that too and drank it out of a sippy cup!

We love you and i just ADORE you so much, what a special sweet baby you are to me and our family!
here are some quick pictures i snapped of you, i almost forgot to take them on the 18th so i did get a lot but glad i remembered and snapped a few!

good advice!

Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib, not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal! Under the arm to be protected, & next to the heart to be loved.
