Dance Party :)

I just love dancing and my mama loves dancing too! It is perfect! We have dance parties often to get us both giggling! My mama picked out the perfect song for us to groove to and I just couldn't stop laughing! I'm having so much fun! :)

Doesn't that laugh just make you want to laugh too? I love how Kekoa snuggles into my shoulder too! He is such a cuddly little guy!

Let's play Gorilla

As I was carrying Kekoa today, I noticed how he was just staring down at Gorilla, who was sitting in the moses basket. It was really the first time Kekoa has shown a lot of interest in him, so I set Kekoa down. The two of them were facing each other and looked like they were in a little boat, getting ready to float away. Kekoa had so much fun, grabbing at Gorilla's face and giving him kisses. It was so adorable!
We are all ready to float away mama!
Hmmm, your face feels a little hard!
It looks like you need a kiss...
Are those your ears?

Kisses for Gorilla...

Fun at Oak Meadow Park!

Yay, there was a break in the rain...finally! I was able to take Kekoa to Oak Meadow Park, which I've been dying to do, so he could have his first experience in a swing! We headed out to the park with our wonderful neighbors, Auntie Cassie and Ava. I was curious how Kekoa would respond, laughter, tears? I still remember taking my niece Meilani to the park for her first swing experience. She didn't like it one bit and cried. Kekoa was his usual mellow self..taking it all in. He sat in the swing and was really more interested in looking at the other kids playing on the playground, especially Ava.
Hmmm, what is Ava doing over there?
Swinging buddies, Ava and Kekoa! Ava has the cutest sunglasses on, which she kept on the entire way to the park, at the park, and all the way home. It was fun to finally have Kekoa "play" while we were at the park.

Swinging back...
Oh my goodness...look at those cheeks!!

Swinging again...I can dig this!



I also had Kekoa play on the slide for a bit. Again, he was much more interested in watching all the kids around him! He looked so small and cute sitting on the slide.
I can't wait to take Kekoa to the park again! I know we will have a lot of adventures playing on the playground! :) I love Kekoa so much and thank my amazing husband every day for working so hard so I can stay home with him. Thank you Scott!

Chilling out in my Boppy

I love my green corduroy Boppy pillow. It is so soft and the perfect place to lounge on my tummy. I've also now figured out how to use it as support so I can sit up and play! What a great invention.

Chillaxin' with my arms stretched out. Don't I look like a tough guy here? Don't be fooled...I am the sweetest little boy.

Daddy snuggled the Boppy behind my back. I had so much fun sitting up and playing with my blocks.

Determination

Kekoa was so chilling in his boppy pillow when he noticed a box behind him. He was so determined to reach it that we was scooting himself backwards. He was successful in grabbing it and had so much fun playing with it and getting it into his mouth! I couldn't believe how well he could manipulate it with his hands! His hand-eye coordination is so good!

Daddy is the best!

Scott is such a wonderful dad. He is so patient and loving with our little baby. I love watching them play, it is so sweet. No one can get Kekoa to laugh like Daddy does. What a lucky little boy!

Yes daddy?

Scott getting ready to have Kekoa nap. The cover for his head is already in place!
Santa gave Kekoa these black and white cards for Christmas. They have pictures of sea animals on them. Kekoa LOVES them and Scott figured out a way to make him laugh while playing with them.

So funny daddy!Look, I can hold onto the cards all by myself. Next stop for this card is my mouth!

A cute video of Kekoa loving the black and white cards...

Break on through...

Kekoa has been teething for awhile now. At his 4 month appointment, his pediatrician could feel in his gums that he was teething. No surprise to us, he has been drooling like crazy andgnawing on all the teething toys we have for him. Well, yesterday Scott noticed that one of his little teeth had broken through his gums! Yay Kekoa! It is his bottom left tooth. This evening he decided that biting Mommy would be a fun thing to do!

This is one of the teething toys Kekoa likes. He is making these funny faces, but loves chewing on the tip of this strange looking thing.
Really, I do like this!

Baby in a bowl

Kekoa had a major blowout the other morning. By blowout, I mean slimy orange baby poop, out of the diaper and smeared up his back! YUCK! Kekoa had to go straight into his purple plastic bowl. We use the bowl to rinse his little tush after every poop (it is so much easier than wipes), but this time Scott sat him in the bowl after we rinsed his bootie and he fit perfectly! He just chilled out in the bowl and was perfectly content, like it was no big thing! How could I resist snapping some photos of our chunka in a bowl?
Whoa...baby leaning...I love this picture. Kekoa always gazes at a picture of Scott and I on the bathroom wall. It is perfectly placed at his eye level.

Sounds come and go...

For a few days, this was the only sound Kekoa wanted to make. No more. I wonder what his next new sound will be?

Loving my feet

At 5 months, Kekoa can't get enough of his feet. As soon as the pants come off on the changing table, up go his legs and out go his arms to grab onto his feet. One of these days they will make

it into his mouth!

Don't you just want to squeeze him??

Guess who is 5 months new?

Here mama, let me hold the sign up for you!

Kekoa is already 5 months new!! Can you believe it? I wish he would stop growing so fast! He gets cuter and cuddlier (is that a word?) every day. He weighed 16 lbs. 5 oz. on his 5 month birthday (with a diaper and shirt on)! No wonder why my arms are getting stronger!

Kekoa likes to give me kisses now! It is so sweet. The best is when I'm carrying him, he'll give me kisses on my cheek...I LOVE it! The other day, Scott asked him, "Where's mama?" and he turned his head to look at me!

Kekoa also gets stronger and stronger every day. He'll be sitting up and playing on his own in no time. He is really into his feet and is now able to pull his legs up to his face. He really wants to suck on his toes! He's been successful a couple of time in the tub with my help. It is the cutest sound as he sucks on his big toe!

It is so crazy how one moment Kekoa is making a new sound, obsessed with it, and the next moment he has moved onto something else. I'm so grateful I have been able to get all these moments on video. Sometimes I feel so silly taking all these videos and pictures, but the moments pass so quickly!

We love our sweet little boy so much. Now if he could only get to sleep on his own...

Look at how small I was compared to the giraffe family! ! I am one week old here!
With all my giraffe friends, Lulu, Buzz, and the big guy...Mr. Pickles.

Oh, hi Lulu. Kekoa loves playing with these guys. He'll grab their faces and give them kisses too!
My pal Gorilla and I! We are almost the same size. He is a little wider then me though!

Cool shades

Thank you Kaiwei for these cool guy sunglasses! I'm looking pretty stylin' in them...don't you think?
