11 month photo shoot
The best time to shoot posed photos of Kekoa is when he wakes up. He is still out of it and will actually sit, well sit for a short while! He is also in a great mood and are already smiley boy is extra smiley. Here is Kekoa with his friends, Gorilla, Paulie the Polar Bear, Mr. Pickles, Lulu and Buzz...
Great day
I had so much fun with Kekoa today, what a relief after yesterday. Yesterday was just tiring, Kekoa was practicing his screaming. He would scream for anything and everything, if he was happy, upset, frustrated, whatever it was, he would scream. He also has only been taking 1 nap a day for this whole week, which makes the afternoons SUPER long! Thank goodness we had music class yesterday afternoon. We both had a blast in music class! Some singing and dancing is what we both needed.
Anyways, today was a brand new day, less screaming and a lot more laughs! We took Kekoa to the train this morning, which he is just loves so much. After the train ride, we enjoyed a picnic lunch in the park. Kekoa is so funny because he will stay on the picnic blanket, it is his boundary. Maybe he doesn't like the way the grass feels on his knees? It is always the best to spend time with daddy before he has to go to work!
Waiting so patiently for the train.
Holding onto mama's hand!
Daddy pointing out the geese.
After we walked back home, Kekoa and I were playing a game. Lately he thinks it is the best when I crawl after him, catch him, and then tickle him. Today I would run and hide behind the sofa and say, "Where's Kekoa?". He would then crawl to find me and I would pick him up and tickle him. He thought it was the funniest thing ever. I would then run to the other side of the couch and do the same thing. We did this for awhile and just laughed and laughed. His laugh is contagious!
It is super cute right now because Kekoa will follow me around. I needed to go to the kitchen and he was headed in the opposite direction, toward the bedroom. I told him to come with me, so he turned around and crawled with me to the kitchen! He wasn't too happy to be in the kitchen with me though. I had to turn on the food processor and he just doesn't like that loud noise. Here I am telling Kekoa to come in Chinese and he does. Watch what he does. We spend our mornings building many towers of blocks. Kekoa even tries to help build them too, but is better at knocking them down!
This afternoon we went to our favorite, Bachman Park to meet some other moms and babies. Kekoa was amazing, he stood by himself not only for a long time, but stood on his own many different times. He was sooooo proud of himself. It was the first time he stood so many times in a row and he just knew he was doing something really cool. He kept pulling himself up, using my leg, standing and then would even squat down with control. Scott asked me if he was taking steps yet, thank goodness not yet!
Of course when I had the camera out, Kekoa wasn't showing off his best skills, but he is still adorable here trying to stand!
All ready to go mama!
I love how Kekoa holds on!
I can't believe how big he looks in the swing now!!

Here I come...
The blue hippo has come home with us. Never before have we wished we lived in a bigger place than right now. Kekoa walks, but can't really walk all that far. He walks a few steps, runs into a wall, and then screams for us to turn the hippo, since he can't turn it. A few screams and then hippo time is over. We have to then hide the hippo from him! If it was up to Kekoa, he would have hippo time all day long, very tiring for mama and daddy.
Get ready for the screams...
Radio Flyer
Oh my goodness, Kekoa had the BEST time on Tuesday. At our playdate, he was able to use a little Radio Flyer wagon, that is made for babies to push. He just loved it and did such a good job walking up and down the path. Walking is quickly becoming one of his favorite things. When Scott got there, he put Kekoa inside. He looked so adorable, flying down the slight incline. It looked like a little homemade box car coming at me.
Before discovering the Radio Flyer, Kekoa was having a blast playing with all the toys. He actually climbed on top and perched himself onto this toy!
Getting ready to take a step...
