March

Well, a couple of months have passed and a lot has been changing here in the Douglai home.

Ke'akua is getting bigger and bigger. :) At his 6 month wellness appointment he was right around 20 lbs (90th percentile). His two bottom teeth are now in, yet he fights us when attempting to introduce solids. The kid hates them...I mean really hates them. Take a look at these pictures:

Not too sure what to think...

Getting ready to cry...

Full blown tears...

And, more tears...

Occasionally, he fakes a cough letting me know that he is choking and he really needs to stop!


The only way thus far I have found that he will eat is when he's in the bath...yes, you read this correct, while taking a bath. You should have seen the pediatrician when I told him that. I know he thinks I'm crazy now. He let me know that in his 40+ years in being a pediatrician this was the first time he had ever heard that. I let him know how happy I was with myself that I was able to introduce to him something he had never heard of. Ridiculous! :) Despite eating in the bath, he still isn't sure what to think.

Besides tormenting him with introducing solids, we have been practicing sitting up as well. We went out and bought a Bumbo chair to assist Ke'akua and to introduce him to a whole new world. He wasn't sure what to think at first, imagine that, but has come to love it.

He is talking to me in this picture trying to find out what in the world I have put him in.


Ke'akua has also gone to more of Ted's girls' soccer games and of course has loved every minute of that as well. This is an outfit that the families of one of the teams that Ted helps coach, bought for Ke'akua (Ted of course loves it!)


Here are a few other pictures from this month:
Hanging out with Amuma and Papa....

A day of shopping and good times with Yasone and Miren. By the way, Ke'akua LOVES to shop. :)

Hanging out on another "spring day in Boise" where a fleece and stocking cap are required.


Here are a few pictures just hanging out at home:




Enjoying the sun....at last!
