First Xmas and New Year

Naked Shots and Big Dogs

Now that Kalea's 5 months and moving around, she is finally aware of Cookie. Not sure the dog's too interested in her so much, though he loves trying to lick her...




Nice doggie, I wanna pat your booty...

Ok, enough with touching my booty, says Cookie


Being new parents, we must embarrass Kalea with bathtime shots. At Grandma's she gets washed like dishes in the sink....aaahh, comfy.


And then at home, Daddy is taking naked pictures of himself and Kalea in the bathroom...she's gonna love these when she's a teenager.


She also is extremely helpful on laundry day...



And finally, partying with mommy!

Halloween and other fun stuff

Since Kalea's only 4 months old, she's too young to go trick-or-treating (though Daddy and I would probably have eaten all her candy). Mommy decided to dress Kalea in an outfit Daddy brought from Japan, not really a costume, but a cute little tiger jumper thingy. Anyway, here she is on her first Halloween...


She can hold her own bottle too! Here she is zoning out and getting milk-drunk.




Here's some videos of Kalea...she is now laughing and becoming stronger and stronger by the second! Both grandmas say that she looks exactly like Daddy but acts just like Mommy...hope that's a good thing!





This one's a bit grainy, but it's so funny because she is just cracking up!




She is a roll-over pro. and it only took 4 months! I've been trying to get Kookie to roll over for 4 years...all he's mastered is shake hands and take a bow and I'm sure Kalea will learn those before we know it.




'Til next post!

Friends are Golden

Lucky Kalea has so many friends already in her short 3 1/2 months here on this planet. Here she is hanging with Russell at the Treehouse on Robertson. Such happy babies! They took turns eating each other's hands...






We also helped Tyson celebrate his 2nd birthday at Travel Town. Happy Birthday Tyson! Thanks for always tickling my feet!


Getting ready for the party...


Some cuties....Katie,

Alayna,

And Kalea! Pooped from a busy couple weeks of hanging with friends. What fun!

Sunday Afternoon with Great Grandma

Great Grandma broke her hip, so she's rehabbing at Keiro. We visit her on Sundays, and here we are hanging with cousin Eiji and Nikki! Get better soon, Great Grandma!




Here are some of Kalea's funny faces. She loves sticking her tongue out! Silly...

Playdate with Coco

One Monday afternoon, we paid a visit to Coco and Akiko. What a lovely time we had!

Chillin' with Kitty

These were taken at work from my camera phone. You've probably seen these "maneki nekko" cats at Japanese restaurants. The cat with its paw up is saying "come, come", basically a good luck charm to bring people into the business (little factoid for the day). Anyway, we noticed Kalea was the same size as the kitty, so we had to take some shots.
