Old Video

Here's an old video of Kalea when she started getting into kisses!

Father's Day/Mother's Day rewind

Aja and I were able to experience our first official Mother's and father's Day this year. Unfortunately Aja had to work on Mother's Day, but she was able to leave a little early and come celebrate with my family at my uncle's house. It was a fun day of relaxing and watching Kalea have a ball with her great-uncle Toshi & great-auntie like she always does when they are around. Auntie Bonnie and Noelle also got their hands on the little rascal, so she had a full day of family love & Aja got to sit back and relax a little, and may have had a sip or two of champagne.
Father's Day ended up being a 2 day ordeal for us as we hosted Aja's family for dinner on Father's Day eve, and then had an early dinner at my Auntie's house on the actual day. Both meals were amazing, and Aja put together an amazing picture box for me full of pictures and momentos from when Kalea first's few weeks. The little girl makes it awefully fun to be a parent, and both Mother's and Father's Day became a fun little reminder of just how truely blessed we are to have such a kick ass little kid.

Feed Me!

The other week Kalea's high chair came in the mail. I quickly assembled it & she is now eating at the dining table like one of the grown folks. She continues to try new foods & is now entered the wonderful world of being a carnivore. She had turkey for the first time & seems to like it. That just seems crazy to me that this little girl is already sitting in a chair scarfing down protein - seems like it wasn't too long ago we were taking her home from the hospital after she was born. She loves to eat though, and it's fun to see her expressions as new tastes and textures are exposed to her.

Life gets Busy

So sorry to slack on the blog the last few weeks. We have been pretty busy getting things straight in the team paez household. Our roommate Ed moved out & Aja's oldest brother Frank moved in a couple of weeks ago, which was a pretty good transition. We will miss having Ed as a roommate with everything that he did around the house to make our lives easier. He watched Kalea once a week the last month he was here, he always washed up any dishes that we left in the sink, and he would bake bread at least once a week making our house smell delicious and provide us with free bread - my kinda roommate!
Kalea is getting bigger and bigger with every week. She is sitting up like a champ now & is eager to learn to stand up. She rolls all the way over now. She hasn't learned to crawl yet, but is able to rotate herself around. No sign of a first tooth at this point, but her hair is long enough to get in her eyes now. She shows signs of be ing a girly girl - she's very interested in shiny things like watches and earrings, she loves looking at big girls shoes, and she likes boys. I hope to get some more pictures up soon - we have anew camera that I bought for Aja on the mother's day, but we're not quite smart enough to upload the pics on the computer yet - that and we haven't had a lot of free time to mess around with it - but they are coming!
