We made our way down this morning to spend Thanksgiving with Lucas' family in Solana Beach. It is kind of a family tradition for their family to play a fun game of football and this year the game took place down at the beach a block away from their home. Though Ke'alohi and I wanted to get in on the action we watched and cheered on Daddy from afar on our little blanket. It was a great moment when at halftime, Ke'alohi showed us all that she … [Read more...]
We got back from Iowa late last night and couldn't muster up the energy to assemble the high chair that we picked up the day before we left for Iowa. We put it together today and gave Ke'alohi some of her first real food that she ate and didn't play with and spit out. We have been dabbling with trying to give her some bananas and rice cereal for a week or so but she hasn't gotten the hang of it yet. Today, though, she showed us how much of … [Read more...]
Just look at her! Can you believe that she is already old enough to sit in a high chair on her own? Today at lunch we decided to test her out and see how she would do in a high chair. I had been putting it off for a bit now because of two reasons; first, I didn't want to admit she was getting bigger and second, we hadn't bought a shopping cart/high chair cover yet. Ke'alohi loved being at the head of the table and everyone … [Read more...]
We knew it was coming any day now, the day that she would roll over. Tonight as my mom was putting Ke'alohi to sleep she started screaming like a hysterical woman saying, "Ohh my! She just rolled over!" Lucas and I ran upstairs as fast as we could with a camera in hand and waited impatiently for her to do it again. It took some coaxing but Ke'alohi did it for us three more times tonight. She still needs to work on bringing … [Read more...]
So today, I spent Ke'alohi's first month-iversary apart at work. Boo! I knew it would suck and it did but it did give me some time to think about what has happened in the last month and her first month with me back at work. And boy there have been a lot of changes for us all!Ten Facts about Ke'alohi at Five Months:Weighs 17 pounds and 5 ounces and measures 25.75 inches.Loves it when the dogs come up to her face and say hi.Almost … [Read more...]
It still amazes me when I see Ke'alohi do something for the first time because we have no idea how they learn things or the reason they do something for the first time. She has been kind of lifting her legs now for a while and twisting her body from side to side but has never grabbed her feet. Today, while we were on the couch, that little girl just grabbed her feet and brought them into her body like she had been doing it for … [Read more...]
Any working mom will tell you missing the first time your baby does something is the absolute worst part of going back to work. I knew that it was inevitable that I would miss something of Ke'alohi's, I just didn't know it would happen so soon. That is why, to make myself feel better, nothing is "official" until I have seen it. Therefore, even though the daycare told us on Friday that she held her bottle up all by herself, it … [Read more...]
