Zoo visit in April

Here's an old video from April when we went to the zoo with my sisters & the Kawases right before Aja's birthday. Unfortunately uncle Toshi was in pain for the next few days after this little swing maneuver he had going with the little girl. Guess his back doesn't work this hard when he is tossing bowling balls.

Shock Dat Monkey


Kalea was playing a little peek-a-boo with Aja the other day with our red fleece blanket that we keep on our couch. We just washed the blanket, so there was an extra amount of static electricity flowing through the blanket which quickly made itself known through Kalea's hair as you can see from the timely pic we were able to snap.

Being Silly at Grandma's

Kalea was super tired when i picked her up today from my mom's, but auntie Bonnie was able to grab this quick video before we took off.

Sample Shrieks

Here are some of the high notes that Kalea loves to hit when she's busy playing.

...and a goofy smile - she uses this look to flirt too.

Teeth!


They are now officially in. Kalea sprouted her two front bottom teeth & she has been putting them to use. She has continued to be an amazing eater, and even food that she initially didn't seem to like, she now wolfs down with nothing but smiles. She has dug her teeth into cantaloupe and has improved her motor skills with her hands enough to where she grabs and slams down cheerios to no end.
She visited the doctor last week for her 9 month check-up. Yes, she is 9 months old already! The doctor gave her an A+. She has mastered the ability to stand while holding onto the coffee table and she can make her way around as long as she can balance herself using her hands. The crawling continues to be a skill that she doesn't show much interest in, but rolling is her go to method when she get's down on the ground. The girls is a squeeker. She shrieks with joy when she sees Aja or I return after being gone for awhile. She also likes to hit high notes when she's busy playing and singing.
Dancing is a new skill that she has picked up on in the past few weeks. Whenever a song comes on, she goes for it with head bobbing and shoulder rolling. If she is in her bouncer or standing up at the table and a song comes on she bounces her legs - the girl's got talent!
