Please enjoy my videos! :)

Check out our little guy...he uses his feet to bring his mirror closer so he can play with it...what a smartie pants!

Chubby belly!

Kekoa has figured out how to take his napping head cover off. :)

Hear me roar!

Guess how much I love you?

Our little baby is a reader! Kekoa loves all his books. Here he is reading one of his faves, "Guess How Much I Love You". Scott was able to snap some super cute pictures of him in action! WeI used to read this book to him when he was in my belly. Hmmm, such a good story.
I'm getting hungry, I wonder what the book would taste like.
Not so good...
Yuck!
Say cheese!
Aahh, great story, I highly recommend it!

Fun photos

A slimy, chubby chin...covered with drool and milk! :)
Mmmmmm, daddy's pants taste so delicious!
Our little ham...

Not so sure about butternut squash!

Kekoa has moved on from avocado (which he likes) to trying his first taste of butternut squash today. He ended up with it all over his face, nose, hands....it is less pasty and gooey than avocado, a lot more runny.

Tomorrow morning I'm going to blend it better in a food processor and see if it will go down a little easier. He seemed to like it though, kept opening his mouth for more!

Kekoa is helping me here, shoving the spoon into his mouth! :)

I don't know about this mama!
Mmmm, not so bad! :)

More 6 month photos

Can you believe our little boy is already 6 months old? We can't! Every day our little Bam Bam surprises with us with how much he is growing and changing. He learns new things constantly. They say babies are like sponges, absorbing and learning everything around them and it is so true!

Kekoa can sit up really well now on his own and even plays with his toys while sitting up. When he is on his back, he has learned to curl up his legs and use his feet to help him play with toys! He just loves all his toys and anything that makes noise, like a rattle, he will swing in his arm and just laugh! He has gotten so good with using his hands too and can easily move toys from one hand to the other. We are lucky that he is able to play for awhile by himself.

He loves being read to and just this morning I saw him staring at the words in the book, Where is Spot?, trying to figure out what they were! He also really tries to talk to us and loves growling and when I growl back. We end up having a growling contest which ends up with both of us cracking up!

He now reaches his arms up to me when he wants to be held. It melts my heart every time. Friday night, when I came home he was on the couch and squealed with delight when he saw me, as he outstretched his chubby arms. I woke up to him this morning, staring at me. He had his soft, pudgy hands on each of my cheeks...so precious!

Kekoa really wants to be mobile. He tries to pull himself up when he is laying on his back, like he is trying to do a sit-up! It is only a matter of time that we will have a little baby crawling all over our apartment. My dad keeps telling us to baby proof and we keep putting it off!

Kekoa still isn't sleeping through the night, so we are just a little bit tired! :) He is a tough baby to get to sleep. I really can't complain though, since he is so easy otherwise. To get him to sleep, right now, he has to be bounced in a baby carrier. It has it advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are that we can be mobile, we don't have to be at home for his naps. The disadvantages are that we don't get much done since one of us has to "wear" him.

Scott and I are having fun with our precious baby boy and savoring all the moments with him.

Kekoa loves Lulu the giraffe. I give him Lulu to play with in the mornings, while we are laying in bed. He likes to grab her, pull her to his face, and growl at her.
Hi Lulu!

I'll help hold the sign mommy!

But I really want to eat it! Yum!
With my buddy Gorilla!
Oh look, the sign again!

Holding hands with Gorilla! :)
