Blowing Raspberries!!! Literally :)

I have been making all of Kekoa's baby food purees for him (with the exception of a few fruits- apples, pears & bananas; and of course, meat... a thing waaaaay to hard to puree to a good consistency).

Per the doctor's advice, Koa tries something new at least every three days. Our aim was to really learn to build his palette for all sorts of taste. Luckily, knock on wood so far, Koa can eat things like asparagus, spinach, butternut squash, zucchini, just to name a few. But like a TRUE VU, Koa LOVES fruits... he can't get enough of it!! And luckily, ALL fruits; Mangos, Prunes, Bananas, Apples, Pears... you name it. If its a fruit, he'll eat it and finish it!

Today, Koa tried raspberries for the first time, and predictably loved it and ate it all in one quick sitting. He pretty much cleaned a 2 ounce container that I pureed for him mixed with an ounce of rice cereal and 2 ounces of pears. My kid, the sweet tooth addict. :)


I LOVE raspberries Mommy!


Yeah, my face is messy... what of it??


And a sidenote: Koa also developed a cold this past Monday- and his Baptism is three days from now- on Saturday. So Mommy is trying to pump him full of Antioxidants in hope that he'll be well by then... hence, the raspberries!!! Crossing fingers that this works!!

Daddy's Celebration Picnic at Doheny State Beach- Dana Point

Daddy wanted a low-key celebration for his 30th, so we packed up the two kids and Uncle Kitch and together we went down to Dana Point to a park/ beach setting where we had a picnic and enjoyed the sunshine and beautiful breeze.


Daddy forgot the hat for Koa that Mommy had given him, so Koa had to borrow Daddy's just so his head wouldn't burn :)

Daddy going to take a dip in the cold water! Have to test the waters first...


Its not so bad!


This time, take off the shirt and really get in the water!


Uncle Kitchen & Dini enjoying soaking up the sunshine!




Yay for Daddy, Uncle Kitch & Da Dins!


Getting ready to go home, and Koa's still loving the sunshine & clean air!!!

Kekoa the Crack Up

Uncle Kitchen happened to be throwing Koa's ball in the air the other night, just absentmindedly doing it... apparently Koa thought it was the funniest thing that he's ever seen!

Here's the footage that I was able to get (unfortunately a few minutes too late already!)

Enjoy!

Daddy Turns the BIG 3-0!!!!!

Martin turns 30 years old today! Happy, happy birthday Daddy!!

We celebrated this morning by opening his presents prior to enjoying a birthday breakfast out. For such a big milestone we celebrated so far pretty low key. :)


Daddy, Dini & Koa settling down to begin opening the gifts


Look at Dini- such a good girl, taking a seat!


Koa & Dini helping Daddy read his birthday cards. So sweet!




The gifts!!! Smallville Season 8 on DVD from Dini Dins & Kekoa...

And I found this clothing line coincidentally called "Kekoa Budo Jiu Jitsu"... and perfect for Daddy who used to do Budo Tai Jitsu!
