Ohh Sophie, how I love you. One of my good friends, Caley, is an awesome nanny and told me about this teething toy and said that it was a "must have" item. She even went as far to say that if a baby that she was caring for didn't have this teething toy, that she would go out and buy them one! I immediately put the Vulli Sophie Giraffe on my registry and hoped and prayed that someone would get it for us. Caley was nice enough to send us … [Read more...]

Since we were already down in San Clemente and only thirty or so minutes from Solana Beach, we decided that it would be so much fun if we surprised Lucas' aunt, uncle and cousins with an impromptu visit. Just as we expected, they were floored when they saw us pull up to their house and were just as excited with us to hang out for a bit. Luckily for Lucas and I, the kids were used as "reinforcements" and gave us a break from toddler duty. … [Read more...]
This morning we headed up to Malibu to have brunch with Uncle Nema and Auntie Liv. I couldn't believe how long it had been since we had seen them.

It was so much fun catching up and seeing what was new with both of them. Liv has a very busy couple months coming up and … [Read more...]
I'm not going to lie, I was scared to take Ke'alohi to the pool. I was so worried that she wouldn't like it just as she hasn't liked the beach. While we were at Kamauliola's birthday party, we decided to try the pool out and see if she liked it. To our surprise, she loved the water and had a ball splashing the water with her feet and bouncing around in and out of the water. Doesn't her bikini look adorable? … [Read more...]
We had such a blast today! Today was the first time Ke'alohi played in a pool and she loved every second of it. One of my friends, Sara, had a party at their house to celebrate their son's second birthday. Kamauliola had a pirate themed party that was full of awesome decorations, food and people. The best part of the party was seeing so many of my friends that I went to high school with and their babies. We spent most of our time hanging … [Read more...]

So today, they had a stand off and neither dog refused to leave their bed. Poor Harley practically got sat on … [Read more...]
