Aloha!!

It has been so long since I've posted! I was in California visiting my folks for 2 weeks, and then went to Hawaii for 2 weeks. We stayed pretty busy so I have to make up for lost time! Kaia has changed and grown so much since we have been home. She is now able to pull herself onto things, scoot around, and even call 'mama' whenever she needs me. She has also mastered reaching for people she wants to hold her. It's crazy how fast it is all going by!!


This pic was taken in California. Kaikai (Kk) got her first taste of rice and she loved it, though I think she got more on her hands face and legs, then she got in her mouth!!We had so much fun on Oahu and the Big Island - and owe a HUGE thank you to my parents for such an awesome Christmas present!! We had fun at the gorgeous beaches, and being with family, and can't wait to return! I have SO MANY pictures of the trip and did my best to narrow it down....as you can see there are still a lot of pics. Hope you enjoy them!

Waikiki Beach! She just woke up from nap! She played so hard in the water it wore her out. Kk LOVED the ocean! It was so nice for us because we were able to play in the water and she really enjoyed splashing and being out there with us. She also loved the sand. She enjoyed rubbing her feet in it...as well as eating it...On Oahu, the house we rented was right across from the beach! It was so beautiful!!Just wanted to show you a pic of how content this girl is while at the beach.My uncle (great uncle) tends an 80 acre ranch on the big island. Lots of palm trees macadamea trees, as well as fruit trees native to the islands. We hung out there one Sunday just relaxing and eating (we do alot of that on the big island when visiting family). We hiked down to the black sand beach at Waipio Valley. You can see in the first pic, to the left of Kaia how far down the beach was - quite a hike! It was fun once we got there - the waves were great, and everyone really enjoyed it. I have some pics of Kk eating the sand - I'll have to post them later....






You probably can't tell that Kk actually does have a little tan because Mini is so dark... but she does..
KK and daddy walking to the beach - this became a routine :)


We are still in Maui relaxing and enjoying ourselves, and will post more pics when we get home!
Much love and Aloha!
