9oa's Fake Laugh

Not sure what he was laughing at. Check out what a ham he's becoming. Like mother like...????

Catching Up

I can't believe we are leaving for Australia tomorrow. I have been so busy these past couple of weeks getting us ready for our trip. I am nervous and excited. I am sad to leave my parents. Lola can't stop crying. She said she feels "orphaned." I keep reassuring that video chat will make it easier. Wish us luck on the flight!

Here are some of my favorite pictures from the past month...

January '11

January is almost over and lot's of things have been happening over here. Nainoa's language is growing everyday. He is getting really good with 3 syllable words. He can finally say his name correctly. Instead of "Noa" he can say "Nainoa." He can say simple 3 word sentences like "Take off shoes.", "Nainoa hold it." He still hitting, shooting, carrying any sort of ball. He loves looking at pictures of family and friends. His favorite picture album is from our wedding in Maui. I am so excited to go to Hawaii next Friday. We will be there for 2 glorious weeks. I am a little nervous about the flight but at least Eye will be there. We have been talking a lot about getting on the airplane to visit Tutu. Hopefully it will be smooth flying. (fingers crossed)

Visiting Byron at Southpoint Hotel. He was in town playing with his mother-in-law
Connie Stevens. Nainoa had a blast playing with Wilder (1o days younger). He especially had fun playing with Wilder's older brother.

Nainoa loves to give hugs. Sometime they are too hard. Wilder wasn't feeling it.

Nainoa is really into this Jack-In-The-Box toy lately.

My adventurous boy loves the park, especially these tunnels.

He is getting so tall!

Ahhhh the joys of co-sleeping. Poor Eye always gets the feet in the neck.

Morning Cup of Joe

p.s. I fixed the setting to the last post so now you can view 9 drumming.

Tutu just sent me this picture and I must say Nainoa looks just like his Dadda here!

Biz 9noa

We've been listening to a lot of Yo Gabba Gabba. Nainoa loves Biz's Beat of The Day. Turn up your volume to hear my beat boxer boy!

Cute as a BUTTon

Since it's been 1,000,000 degrees here in Vegas Nainoa and I have been swimming almost everyday. I usually wait around 1pm so that there is shade by the steps where he likes to play with his cups. I always lather him up with my hippie dippy organic SPF 45 twenty minutes before so it doesn't wash off as soon as we get in the pool. I was so surprised to see his tan lines yesterday! My little hapa haole baby may look like a little brown Hawaiian after all.

Hollywood with Tutu and Kitties

Photos from our last days in L.A. with Tutu.

Miss the Hollywood Farmers Market.

Eye looks like those Hollywood celebrity slingin' guys.

I have been so consumed with life that my posts have been sporadic. Here are some of my favorite photos of Nainoa from this past week. (My brother is doing much better, he's eating real foods, talking and they took out the tube from his head.)

Nainoa fell asleep on Daddy while he was walking around on the phone.

Uncle Danny stopped by the L.A. house.

Bundled up to walk the dogs. It's 40 degrees outside!

Sling Silliness

the best thing ever

Left My Heart In San Francisco

We had such a great time in San Francisco. It was a needed vacation for me. It was so nice to hang out with Mish, Kaiyaiyai and Eddie. Halloween was such a blast! Mish had a party at her house with all of Kaiyaiyai's two year old buddies. It was so cool to see the boys interact. I kept on staring at them saying to myself, "I can't believe Nainoa is going to be that old and playing with other little buddies." Then I got sad when I thought of who Naiona would be playing with? Kai is in SF and all of his band mates are in different states. Mish reassured me that I would find someone for Nainoa... but it's just not the same. Sigh...anyways here some of my fav photos of the weekend. I love you Mish and I miss you so much already!

Two Peas in a Bumbo

Nainoa Pema

I just had to share a picture of Nainoa's girlfriend Pema in her Bumbo. Pema is 2 weeks older than Nainoa. Yea...he's into older babies.

Really?

really mommy? really?

Snake Dance

I put this mobile I got from Ikea above Nainoa's changing table and he LOVES it! If you really look close it's kinda a weird one because it is a snake that has wrapped a panda bear, a monkey and an elephant around itself...squeezing the life out of them? Eye said the mobile was kinda dark, but Nainoa doesn't care. He get's sooo excited and starts moving his legs and arms really, really fast. The video clip doesn't do it justice, but you get the idea. :)
