Mother's Day

With my babies on Mother's Day!!! (excuse Elijah's belly hanging out)


Elijah wasn't too happy...

The man...

2 months!

I can't believe that Elijah is 2 months old already!
Our little Hawaiian baby is already trying to do the shaka sign. That, or Makayla has been trying to teach him the sign for play.


These were taken on his 2 month birthday in his new outfit from Carter's. The hat is a little big but I couldn't resist it. It's a bad thing to live so close to an outlet mall!!
I should've just left his red eyes alone because I couldn't get it right. Oh well, He's still cute!



Blain dressed Makayla for bed the other night. Poor thing! HA HA! For some reason, when we tell her to smile for a picture, lately she's been doing this weird thing with her mouth. She thinks it's funny but hopefully she won't do that when we take them for professional pictures!

Poor Elijah

Makayla thought she needed to cover Elijah's "boo boo" tonight and this is what he looked like when she was finished.





I told Blain a while back that Elijah is in for it having an older sister. She'll be trying to put makeup on him, put him in dresses and bows in his hair.

Sea Life Park

We went down to Sea Life Park this past Saturday. Makayla had a great time! Well, except for the fact that she fell a couple of times. They had a large tank with turtles, sharks, sting rays and all sorts of fish. We saw sea lions and penguins and watched 2 dolphin shows.







Makayla loved the sea turtle!






This picture would be better if it wasn't so hazy from the volcano on the big island.

I'll figure it all out soon

So it took me 2 or 3 days to make that first post. LOL Somehow, the pictures ended up chopped. Hopefully by the next time I update, I'll have this figured out!!!

ALOHA!

We are finally jumping on the blog bandwagon so we can keep you all updated on what's going on with us!

Makayla is now 2.5 years old. She's your typical sassy, active toddler. She is in her third week of preschool. She goes to the YMCA two days a week for 2.5 hours and she loves it! She does a great job with her ABC's, numbers and colors! She usually counts to 13 or 14 and then jumps to 17 and 19. :D

Here is a picture from her first day. Excuse the crazy hair! :D


Monday, she decided to get into my makeup. She thought it would be a great idea to paint her face with all day lipstick. Yeah, that was fun to try to get off! Poor thing had red cheeks from me trying to rub it off and there's still some left on her cheeks. :D




Miss Mak loves her baby brother. *Most of the time :D


Elijah is 6.5 weeks old. Time is flying by! He had a doctor's appointment yesterday and he is 22 inches long and weighs 12 pounds! He's in the 75th percentile for weight. He got a clean bill of health and the doctor said he looks great! Dr. McEvoy confirmed our suspicions that Elijah does have strawberry hemangioma on his forehead. We are just going to watch it's growth for now. It should fade when he's a toddler but I am going to be doing some research on them so I can be armed with information in case we have to fight for a referral to see a dermatologist. We are pretty sure that where it is located, that it won't grow to bother one of his eyes.



He seems to be a happy boy (for the most part). He smiles a lot! He was smiling up a storm and even let out a couple little laughs last night as I was trying to get him to go to sleep.

This is probably the only time that I can say Elijah favors me a tiny bit. It's probably just the cheeks and all those chins. It's only in this picture because the kid looks just like his Dad!!! :D I'll have to find a picture of me as a baby.
