Graduating to Gymboree Class – Level 3

gymboree 2

I feel like it was just last month when we graduated to Level 2 but now we are officially in Level 3.  Things are so different in Level 3 because most of the kids are walking!  This level is from 10 to 16 months so there is a huge difference from the kids coming into this class and the kids about to leave the class.  Like Level 2, this class is very active but this class is slightly more chaotic because when kids can run, they are harder to … [Read more...]

One of My Many Quirks: Strawberries

IMG_1065

Everyone has their quirks but not many people have quirks when it comes to how they eat their strawberries.  Most people eat their strawberries a "normal" way with whip cream, cool whip, or sugar.  How do I eat my strawberries? With sour cream and brown sugar...  I'm sure you are thinking that it's gross and nuts but it's the only way that I know how to eat strawberries and I have been eating them that way for as long as I can remember.  From … [Read more...]

Project 52:14 | Having a Companion

IMG_1033

Motherhood is... having a companion This has been quite a week.  In a matter of days, Ke'alohi got sick, then she got better and now she got me sick.  I swear I have no idea how she can get over her colds so much faster than I can!  So today, I am spending the day in bed with medicine, tissues and this little man.  This is Duke, our other dog, my dog and my constant companion, who never leaves my side especially when I'm sick. If you want … [Read more...]

First Fever…

fever

Now this post isn't about a good "first," hence no exclamation point.  When I picked Ke'alohi up from her daycare yesterday, they told me that she was pretty fussy that day and that they thought that she was warm.  Since she has been born, she has never had a fever, even when she had both upper respiratory infections and her ear infection.  The doctors we saw said that she might just be one of those babies that never get a fever.  Well when … [Read more...]

God I love Pinterest.  Here is yet another recipe that I would have never known about had I not joined.  This is the perfect recipe to have in a group setting or to pair with pretty much any main dish to make it a real party.  I will totally make this again to liven up a plain steak or chicken dinner. Ingredients: 1 Unsliced Loaf of Sourdough Bread, Round is Preferable 8 Ounces Cheddar Cheese, Thinly Sliced 3 Ounces Real Bacon … [Read more...]

Another Haircut for Ke’alohi

Hair Cut 1

It's been just over 2.5 months since Ke'alohi's first haircut and it is finally catching up with her.  Her bangs were started to get in her eyes and the back of her hair was getting CRAZY bedhead every morning when she woke up.  Somehow, I was able to convince Lucas that we should cut her hair again so that we would have more options for styling it.  When it is super long, it is harder for the hair clips to stay in and keep all the hair out of … [Read more...]

Out for a Morning Walk…

walker

This morning, we decided that it might be fun for us to take Ke'alohi outside with her walker during our morning walk with the dogs.  It was actually quite funny because she was totally able to move forward, but the sidewalk was slightly angled, so she kept on getting stuck in the grass.  She was so determined to move forward and follow Lucas and the dogs but would get so frustrated when she couldn't move because a wheel was stuck between the … [Read more...]
