Baby Einstein








It is so fun watching Kai discover our world. As we speak we are all watching Baby Einstein's Noah's Ark movie. Kai is seeming to really enjoy watching all the animals! He's bouncing around like crazy in his chair, talking to the animals and smiling, laughing and shouting- it's precious! He turned 3 months yesterday and I can hardly even believe he is out of his "fourth trimester" and into a more alert and playful stage of life. He loves exploring his world and taking in things around him and what a joy it is for Chad and I to be able to help him explore. It really makes me feel like a kid again myself! We are currently at the stage of getting ready for solid foods. He is showing a HUGE interest in what we eat and he seems to be hungry more often then usual and went from sleeping 10-11 hours a night back to 7-8 hours which is apparently a sign it's time to start supplementing with cereal. I can't believe it is almost time! We are going to the doctor this week and are going to discuss bubba's food. I am super thrilled about this because my goal is to make all his food myself. My sister bought us a Beaba babycook for Christmas (big thanks Bre!!) and I have a couple cookbooks for healthy, organic baby meals. I can't wait! I know it is going to be a little more work then just feeding him food out of a store bought jar but I am bound and determined to provide Malakai with yummy, organic, fresh food! I really love cooking for Chad and I so it makes sense to cook for Kai. Wish us luck on this venture, it should be pretty interesting and exciting!

Having Kai around has been nothing but a complete joy! If every baby was as easy as he is and if money grew on trees I would have 10 of them! Chad would be thrilled! For now, I am extremely content to spend time with my beautiful, special, smart little man. Not only has he rolled over from his tummy to his back (at 6 weeks) he is now rolling from his back to his side and tummy!! He is incredibly strong and advanced for his age- according to his Dr. not ME! I wouldn't even notice the difference, but Dr. said he is a very smart boy and as I continually research babies and their developmental stages I am learning that Dr. Clark is right! :) Go Bubs!

    Ah little bubs (so cute). I keep trying to study his features, looking for Chad or you or other family members. He's got your nose I think, and he kinda sorta looks like your dad a little:) haha. He has a very sweet soft baby face, just like his papa though:)
    Love and miss you guys. Keep up with the pics!! I cant believe how big he is getting:(

Feeling Inspired!

I am feeling inspired today! I love making homemade baby food for my beautiful boy! I really can't say enough about the huge advantage making your own baby food is. The price alone is an immediate seller. I buy organic, locally grown produce and spend about 15-25 dollars which lasts me at least a month. If we were buying the same amount of jarred organic baby food we would be spending about 100 dollars a month. Big difference! I also love knowing exactly what goes in my son's (cute) little tummy. No preservatives, no food dye, and no processed food for him. Another big plus is that I can introduce him to flavors and foods that are unique and typically not found in your average baby food. Currently, I am steaming some yams, zucchini, chicken, green beans and rosemary-all certified organic and yummy of course. I call it "R oast Chicken Dinner" - fancy huh? I will then dish them into my BPA free ice cube holders and freeze. After that, I'll make yams, peaches, pears ...

Time is rolling on and life is rolling right along with it! Yesterday was our official 1 month anniversary, it seems so small compared to 8 years of loving each other but still, celebrating never gets old! Rachel started her new job yesterday as a perioperative RN and UCI. I have never seen/ been a part of a more amazing hospital and the benefits are incredible, by far the best hospital around! I feel blessed to be a part of their periop team. We have a robot called The DaVinci that surgeons use to preform Urological surgeies ! It's a little overwhelming but we will learn and we will be great Rn's once we are done with our training program. This is a picture of my homemade pizza. The dough was even homemade ! It was a 2 hour event, I got a little stressed attempting to flatten the dough out after we had already flattened and then balled it up again. Note: After you roll the dough out DONT start over, just keep it flat, folding it over onto itself is a disaster...

When the Poop Hits the Fan- LITERALLY!

Day 4 in the bag! Phew, barely. Today was too classic not to blog about, so hopefully it brings a smile to your face. :) Woke up this morning with serious tummy issues only to find both Elijah and Jameson feeling under the weather.  Cancelled our Thursday playdate and we lounged around hydrating and just taking it easy (OK they were taking it easy, me, on the other hand, that's a joke. I am a mom of 3 littles after all. I was playing Mommy Nurse). Around 11 we sat down to do school. Now, Elijah's participation is hit and miss, which I completely expected.  He is always game for music time (he is a dancing king after all) and game time. But today he decided he wanted to join for all of it.  So little Mister with his pensive mind asked "Why?" only 80 gazillion times today.  We stopped and had a snack every 10 minutes (Elijah is my hungry boy after all) and a few water breaks (thirsty boy too). Get my drift? Lots of breaks and pauses with him a...
