First Time Eating Meat!

First Meat

Of all the great milestones in Ke'alohi's life, yet another happened at Korean BBQ.  Yes, I know, we go there way more than I'd like to admit, but come on, it's $9.99 for all you can eat!  Where else can you eat for ten bucks that comes with all the soup, salad, rice, vegetable sides and meat you want?  I rest my case.  Since Ke'alohi is a lot more intrigued with our food when we eat, we decided to break up a piece of meat for her to try. … [Read more...]

First Kiss!

You know, I thought I had a "few" years before I had to write this post but my daughter continues to surprise me.  When I picked Ke'alohi up from the daycare today, they let me know that Ke'alohi's favorite little boy, Orie, planted a big one on her cheek that day.  Orie and Ke'alohi have always played nice, but recently he has been such a doting little boy, bringing her toys, making sure no one makes her cry and playing with her hair.  I even … [Read more...]

This is my first of many favorite recipes that I wanted to share, but I before I say anything, I want to start with a serious warning.  If you are on a diet or if you do not have any self control when it comes to sweets, do not read this post and do not bake this cake.  You will be sorry!  Now that that is over, I got this recipe from one of my closest friends, Bridget,  who makes this cake at all family, friend and work potluck … [Read more...]

First Time Pulling to a Stand!

I feel like I just got used to Ke'alohi being mobile, but now she is pulling herself up to a standing position!  Anything she can grab her hands on, she is pulling on to help brace herself.  I absolutely love seeing her learn new things but this one is scary!  Now that she is vertical, it's only a matter of time before she is walking! Ahh, I need to bust out those baby leg weights to slow her down... … [Read more...]
