That's right folks... today is my first baby's THIRD birthday!!!! And, yes, that's Carter singing to him. Hehe.
I can't believe Kai is 3. He went from an adorable fluffalupagus {yes, it's a word.. we made it up} of a puppy to a huge adorable monster so fast! I got Kai as a birthday present from Bob, my sisters, and my parents in the summer of 2006. I was shocked and, of course, so unbelievably happy and excited!! This is Kai the first night they brought him home to me. He was 8 weeks old.

I think my heart melted a little with this one...

Now this picture was taken the day before our wedding. I was packing for our honeymoon while Kai helped. I left it on my digital camera so that Bob and I could look at it every time we missed him while we were away. We looked at it a lot. :)

Probably my favorite picture of our monster. He's so beautiful.

Kai thinks he owns the guest room and that the bed in there is, in fact, HIS.

Happy Birthday Kai! He looks just like the dog from the movie "All Dogs Go to Heaven"...I bet he has just as much personality as well!
Awww, happy birthday Kai!!!
Before our guest room became the baby's room, our dog Morgan thought the guest bed was hers. She still goes in there and lays where the bed used to be. Silly dog!
