Dear Elijah, You are nine months old! You are crawling EVERYWHERE and eating all of the foods. You are obsessed with our dog Rasca and you’re always trying to find out where he’s at. You love to make funny noises, especially this humming sound as you drift to sleep. It’s almost as if you’re trying…
Dear Elijah Ikaia, You are now 8 months old! You just started to crawl, though you don’t get too far yet. You’re definitely picking it up, though, making moves on all fours. You’re still nursing around the clock, but love eating all kinds of fruits and veggies. Your favorite is still mango. Avocados, you could…
Dear Damian, Today you turned six years old! You’re an adventurous little boy, and you’re always looking for things to climb or jump from. You love boogie boarding on the shore break where the waves slam into the sand. You notice every bug or critter and you’re always trying to touch or hold them, despite…
Dear Elijah, Today is your half-birthday! Wow, so much has changed since that quiet Kauai morning when you joined us earthside. I don’t have the normal blanket and stuff I use for your monthly update, so this pic will have to do! I never imagined we’d be here or all of this would be going…
This week we celebrated Eva’s eighth birthday with a little party at our house. Eva wanted a kitty cat theme and my best friend Ashley helped me with all of the decorations and activities. We had a waterslide and bouncy house. It was chilly but the kids had a blast.
Dear Baby Eva, It’s pretty unbelievable that you’re 8 years old. I’m sure I’ve said that every year, but this number really amazes me. I feel like I only have a few years left of you being a “kid” and, well, we know how fast those years seem to go. The thought of this brings…
Elijah Ikaia, You’re five months old now! You’re chunkier and cuddlier than ever, and you’re starting to be more and more aware and interactive with everything around you. You’re always reaching out trying to grab anything in sight. When I’m eating, you get the most excited, and I think you’ll be ready to start trying…

Ariela is officially halfway through her terrific two’s. With my first kid, I made a big deal of it filled with cupcakes and a photo shoot and this and that. Poor Ariela spent her second-and-a-half birthday washing our car. Lol. She loves it though. She’s such an interesting little soul. She’s just so aware, and…
Dear Elijah, You are four months old today and I just can’t get over how BIG you are! You are around 17lbs and in the 90th percentile, all on mama’s milk. You still will NOT take a bottle! You’re still nursing around the clock but you’re becoming much more interested in play time in between.…
