Summer pictures

I'm back tracking to some pictures from the summer up to now. Kaipo is growing like a weed! He is putting on some weight too. :) He went to his 6 week check up last week when he was actually 7 weeks and he now weighs 12 lbs 4oz. That's 5 whole pounds he has gained since birth! He has also grown an inch. He is twenty one and a half inches long.
This picture as well as the one below was taken when he was about two weeks old.

Kono loves holding his brother.
Kaipo is one month old in the next few pictures.
Not the best picture but it's a family one so it'll do
Isn't he so cuuute!?

Kono got this Spiderman scooter. He absolutely loves it! He looks so cute when he rides it. He's definitely a lefty. He rides with left foot on the scooter and pushes with his right foot. He does everything with his left (eating, drawing, etc).
Here are some cute shots of Kono.



Here's a smile but not one of his better ones. He smiles good without the camera in front of his face.
These pants are the ones Kono could squeeze himself into! I love Kaipo's little double chin!

I'm not taking pictures as often as I want to and should. I realize that I just need to no matter if the house is messy or even if I don't have any makeup on (I think I look terrible without it).

Got spandex?

He was too excited and kept moving that's why this picture is all blurry.


I have plenty of posts to catch up on but I had to make this one today. So I was taking a shower when Kono came into the bathroom and asked me if what he was wearing was ok. Most of the time he dresses himself so if it's mismatched, now you know why. I was thinking, oh I'm sure it's fine whatever he is wearing. But he asked me again so I looked at him and I laughed so hard. He was wearing Kaipo's NEWBORN pants, the stretchy cotton ones. It looked like spandex on him! It looked like he was in a diaper with his little round bum that's how tight it was! Too funny, I told him to wait until I got out of the shower so I can take a picture of him. :)

Mr. Smiley

I loooooove it when my baby boy smiles. The thing is, whenever he is smiling is when I'm talking to him without my camera on hand. And when I pull out my camera, he stops once he sees this strange thing (the camera) right it front of his face. But I finally got a decent shot of him smiling. It's a bit blurry and a little dark but what do you do when you're talking on the phone and holding it with one shoulder and you see cute smiles?
ONE MONTH has already flown by! Kaipo turned one month yesterday. He really is a cutie pie with a sweet spirit. He is a little chubby boy who has perfected nursing as you can tell by his double chin. :)

Discovery Gateway in Salt Lake City...Lots of fun for the kiddos! Thanks Aunty Michele for your idea.

Halloween year-around

Whenever Kono gets together with his cousins Kekoa and Ikaika, they love to dress up in costumes. I love that it creates memories and sparks their imagination. Sure beats watching t.v. too! They are so cute! Ahhhhhh, the innocence and imagination of children...... :)

Kono, my little Asain food lover.

Kono has discovered that he loves furikake (a seaweed seasoning) on his rice. He went to town on his wonton and rice soup. He must be from Japan. :D

My Boys

I can tell Kaipo is growing and gaining weight already. In only a week a gained a pound. :) He discharged at 6 lbs 9 oz and now he is seven and a half pounds. He is always eating! Granite and I both think he really looks like me when he is asleep. But when he's awake, he has his own cute looks. He looks similar to Kono, but not quite alike. His hair is brownish but it's hard to tell in pictures.
Kono loves holding his little brother and he thinks it is a thrill to feed him. Notice the burp cloth. :)
Today was Kaipo's first time attending church. It was also Kono's first time that he bore his testimony. I thought he would be too shy to do it but he did it with Daddy's help and even wanted to do it a second time around. :) It was sooo cute. Kono is literally obsessed with Spiderman these days. He has a black and red costume that he wears on a daily basis pretty much. He even wanted to bring his costumes to church. This boy is really growing. He couldn't fit into his black church socks and shoes this morning. He fit it just recently! He was happy to wear his slippers.

Kaipo is such a smiley baby! He has been smiling since the day after he was born (but these smiles were just when he would be sleeping or just got done eating). Since about day five, he'll smile at you if he sees you smiling at him. These are real smiles that will melt your heart. Today he was smiling while looking at himself in the mirror. He has such a cuuuute smile. This is the only picture I have of him smiling. I never have my camera around when it happens. Michele was able to get a picture of him smiling, isn't he so cute?

Brotherly love- Kono has been saying since the first day Kaipo came home that Kaipo is his best friend :)
