Kaleikini Family: February Fun

Koa has a few different "snugglies" that he sleeps with. It amazes me that even though he moves around in his crib at night, he still has his little snuggly wrapped under his arm in the morning.

We have created a "baby jail" where Koa can safely crawl around and play with his toys without getting into trouble. He will start out with all of his toys organized and put together and by the time he is done, they are scattered about demolition style! Koa also practices walking while holding onto the gates--only a matter of time before he masters that one!

Koa had his 9 month doctor visit the beginning of the month. He is now 20 lbs. 15 oz. and 28.5 inches long! He is very proficient at his "army crawl," eats little pieces of big people food with his 8 chompers, and wants to explore EVERYTHING!! Here he is eating a snack while waiting on his shots.

Joey and I love giving Koa his night time bottle, reading him his bed time story and putting the little guy to bed. This is about the only time he will sit still in our laps anymore!

Happy Valentine's Day
So, this year we decided to go to dinner and a movie. We both decided on Sanctum--I knew it was a little out of my usual comfort zone, but thought it would be fun to see a 3D-edge-of-your-seat kind of movie. Joey picked a movie theatre where they serve you dinner and drinks at the beginning of the movie and you enjoy your meal while you watch the flick. Dinner and drinks were great. The movie was not. Well, it was an awesome movie--if you are into watching people die in 3D!! I like warm fuzzy feelings when I am leaving the movie theatre--this was anything but warm and fuzzies!! We did have a great time out on the town and the movie/dining experience was a lot of fun! The movie pick for Valentine's Day makes us laugh!

Beach Day
Joey and I have not taken Koa to the beach since he has become so mobile. What an experience it is getting set up for success. Here is the packing list:
sun shade, baby jail, large sheet for under baby jail, baby bathtub & 2.5 gallons of water for rinsing off sandy baby, chairs, towels, cooler, etc. Let's just say we decided a beach wagon is a neccesity now! We met Vanessa and Mila at the beach and enjoyed hanging out with them for a few hours before it was time to pack it all up and head home. Not bad for our first go around, and I am looking forward to many more beach days. Koa seemed to really enjoy it! PS Yes, Koa is wearing his bath robe with his board shorts!
