Another BIG Step

I picked up some rice cereal the last time we were at the store

and thought one of these days we'd introduce it to Nalu.

The other kids have been asking everyday

if we could feed it to him, so today we did.

And he was LOVIN' it!!

I think he's going to be a BIG eater...

It is funny how with your first child
every NEW thing is so exciting and you
as the parent just can't wait for each new step.
But with each additional child, I hate to admit
(and hope I am not the only one who feels this way,
or else I will feel REALLY bad), but it just feels like
ONE MORE THING that takes time.
And that is definitely how it feels with starting to feed
the baby REAL food. But I have to say with Nalu
it feels exciting all over again. Maybe because
this is probably our last, I am just appreciating
everything so much more!!

4 month news

Nalu was actually 4 months old last week,

but we didn't go to the Dr. until yesterday,

so I waited to find out all of his stats.

His height: 26.5 inches (95th %)

His weight: 15.4 lbs (70th %)

Those are the same percentile numbers as

his older brother Kaipo. We will find out Ash's

in a few weeks when he has his 3 yr. checkup.

Nalu had a rough night, ran a pretty high fever

(I am guessing a side effect from the immunizations)

but this morning he is all smiles

once again!

And he decided to ROLL OVER

for the first time, from his back to his stomach.

I just can't get enough of this sweet, precious
boy. He is constantly just melting my heart!!

new addition update

Our Nephew, and the kids OLDEST cousin,

Kekoa

is living with us now.

The good news I shared in Relief Society

today was about him and the fact

that he is so great with my kids

(hurray...a live-in babysitter) and it is

soo great to have adult conversation

throughout the day!

He is such a polite, good mannered,

helpful, friendly kid. We are

all enjoying having him around!!
