My Family

Dear Baby Ariela, You have now been alive outside my belly as long as in! You’re crawling around EVERYWHERE and walking around furniture and things. You say “banana” when you’re hungry, and you LOVE to eat. This month we added berries to your diet along with a few other fruits and veggies. You’ll eat anything…

Dear Ariela, Today you are 8 months old! You’ve just started crawling and can get pretty far in the drop knee position! You have tried all kinds of foods, and enjoy broccoli, squash, acai, carrots, taro, bananas, and mango. You can wave hello and sometimes say “hiii!” It’s so adorable. Your eyes are still big…

Dear Ariela, Seven months old! You’ve been sampling solids for a full month now, and there hasn’t been anything you haven’t liked- Taro, Broccoli, Carrots, Squash, Mango, Acai, and more! I’m guessing you need all that energy to crawl, because that’s what you seem to want to be doing lately. You can’t get very far…

Dear Baby Eva, You are now six years old. Your toddler days are far behind you, and you’ve stretched out into a beautiful little lady. I can’t believe how tall you are! You have long, light brown hair with golden tips… just like mama’s. You have beautiful chocolate eyes that I just want to eat…

Dear Ariela, Today you are five months old. Your “oooos” and “aaahhs” have turned into “baaabaaabaas” and “paapaapaas” as you chat and sing away. You’re an expert at playing with toys now. You carefully reach and grasp for them, pick them up and look at them, shake them around, and put them in your mouth.…

Ariela Selah, You’re now four months old! You’re becoming more and more aware of everything around you and I love to watch you grow. You’re really starting to get sick of lying on your back and you take every opportunity to roll to your belly. You moving your little hands and legs trying to scoot…

Ariela Selah, You’re now three months old and leaving the sleepy newborn stage behind. You finally have some little rolls in your thighs and your cheeks are so plump and kissable- all on mama’s milk! I’ve managed to [barely] keep up my pumping supply while I’m at work while cherishing the time I have to…

It was a busy weekend for our little family. On Saturday the kids’ school had a luau fundraiser and Eva and Damian performed for us on stage. It was so adorable! Sunday we woke up eaaarly (thanks, time change) and did some fishing. Damo reeled in his first fish and as soon as we caught…

Baby Ariela, Today you are two months old! It has been a busy month for us. I started back up at work and we’ve been transitioning into a new routine. It’s sooo hard for me to be away from you, but you seem to be handling it well. You stay with Nina or Papa while…
