A Hui Hou…

You know how they say "Time flies when you're having fun?"  Well it's true.  I can't believe we were in Hawaii for 12 days!  I feel like we had been looking forward to and planning this trip since she was born and it was all done in a blink of an eye.  We had the most amazing time here in Hawaii and can't wait to come back to visit and eventually move back!  Now we have to start the count down until June when we come back … [Read more...]

First Time Crawling!

This girl is going to make me go crazy constantly updating the blog with all the new things she is doing.  I have already around 40 posts just for December!  We have all been wanting to see her crawl for days now and she has been so close.  Today when Lucas and I were packing and Puna was playing with Ke'alohi, she started to have this determined look on her face.  My mom instantly knew she was going to do it right then and … [Read more...]

Fun in the Hot Tub…

hot tub

We have a hot tub outside on our deck so this year my dad put up the Christmas lights around it so that when we went in at night the deck would be lighted.  Since our attempts at the beach failed this trip, I really wanted to take Ke'alohi into the hot tub so that she could go swimming and float around.  She is such a water baby and loved it from the moment I brought her in.  She splashed to her heart's content and loved it.Wish we … [Read more...]

First Time Clapping!

Even though the excitement of Christmas has died down, our little girl wanted to make sure we knew there was still reason to celebrate.  While we were sitting on the floor playing with her, she started clapping when what we were doing was making her happy.  Sadly, I didn't have the camera with me right when it happened but since then she has been clapping to her hearts content.  Here is one of her clapping the next day.  It … [Read more...]

Last Day With Friends…

last day

Today was a bittersweet day.  I was so happy that we got to see our friends Ke'ala, Ohu, Nalani and Jason, but I was sad knowing that it was the last time we were going to see them.  We all met for lunch at Fresh Catch, an awesome fish restaurant that Jason and Nalani suggested.  Most of us got the Ahi Katsu which was huge and so delicious!  There is no doubt in my mind that next time we are in Hawaii, we are going there. … [Read more...]

Mele Kalikimaka!

It's Ke'alohi's First Christmas!  I can't believe it's already here because I remember last year when it was just Lucas and I and we were talking about how next year we will have our baby!  Crazy!  This morning we woke up and Santa and his reindeer had been here.  Cookie crumbs, carrot pieces and slobbery water had been left for us to clean up.  It's a small price to pay for the gifts he left us.  Santa brought … [Read more...]

First Tooth Broke!

Houston, we have a tooth!  Ke'alohi has been fussy for a couple of days now and we knew that her tooth was coming soon; it was just a waiting game until it broke through her gums.  While we were playing with her new toys we noticed that she was been extremely irritable and then we saw it, the white tooth ridge.  We were all happy and excited but it was just another milestone showing us that our little girl is growing up. Bring on … [Read more...]
