"school!"

I found this robot backpack in our closet--I had forgotten about it and had originally purchased it for Kai when he was smaller.  But Kai was never into 'wearing' backpacks...so I showed Luka and he got excited! "school!" he says. 

I let him wear it and he didn't take it off all day.

"Cheese!"

Valentine's Day ♥

Daddy and Milo ♥

パパとマイロ。

I caught Luka tickling Milo's feet on the changing pad!

Our house is a bit of a mess these days...our temporary changing station is on the dining table.

Last Friday Kai brought home a bag full of Valentine's goodies from Preschool!

Zzzzz

Park ♫

Went to the park today--it was so warm out I think we went over 60 degrees!

Kicked the soccer ball around a bit before hitting Uwajimaya (Japanese supermarket).

Milo on his first park-outing with his brothers.

Doctor's Appointment

Milo had another doctor's appointment on Friday, and we had to haul all 3 kiddos along with us.

Luckily, the waiting room has plenty of toys and a fish tank so they waited outside while I stuck with Milo.  It was apparently a very busy day so we waited a long time before the doctor came to see us.  Milo ended up falling asleep in the room.

Here's the car seating situation now...Kai has moved all the way to the back!

Busy Days !

First off, here is Luka with spaghetti sauce all over his face.

He's a very messy eater...

Milo is still small enough that I can bathe him in this small tub in the kitchen!

It helps me out since I don't have to squat during my recovery.

He loves it by the way...very calm during the bath.

The kiddos have been enjoying some time with Daddy.

On this day, the trio walked over the the nearby grocery store in the rain--It was quite the adventure for the kiddos...and for James too!

A selfie in the car.

This was for Milo's first Pediatrician appointment last week.

Aaah, a soothing car ride.

And these Milo photos remind me of baby Kai.

I see a little bit of Luka as well.  I can't wait to see how he looks when he's older!

Tired Mommy

I found this photo in my camera today...

Apparently James snuck a photo of me sleeping with Milo.

I couldn't help but laugh--but this photo makes me smile ^_^

Kisses ♥

Kai and Luka love giving Milo kisses ♥

Luka is still a baby to me but when I see him next to Milo, he is huge!

Just observing and watching over his little brother ^_^

And a big  Thank You to James' work--we got a surprise flower delivery congratulating us on the new baby.  That Teddy Bear is so cute!! 

It's a car chase !

I'm so happy these two get along so well.  Always playing together.

I caught them in the middle of a car chase!  How fun♥

Haircut ♫

Kai is long overdue for a haircut.

His hair grows so fast!

He was ready to cut it off.

そろそろ髪の毛を切ろうか！

Ta-da!

Buzz cut.  He looks much older.

I like it!! and so does he ♥

じゃじゃん！

まるで別人だね。

男前やん！

baby days

The boys are going out while Mommy watches baby Milo.

子供達がパパとお出かけ。

This is the look Kai gives me when he doesn't want to give up the Wii controls...

It's cute but a promise is a promise!

ゲームの時間が終わるとカイはこうなる。

もっと遊びたいけど時間制限はちゃんとまもりましょう！

It's not just mommy....daddy gets tired too.

ママだけじゃない...パパだって疲れる。

Welcome home Milo ♥

Getting his diaper changed at the hospital...good job Daddy!

病院にて。パパがおむつをチェンジ。

The kiddos welcomed Milo home!

They're super curious about him...Luka tells me "It's a baby right here...I love baby!"

Kai loves him too..he gives him kisses and pets his head gently. 

So far, so good!

退院後です。ルカとカイは優しくマイロを迎えてくれました。

Baby Milo♥ Photoshoot @ the Hospital

I think most Hospitals offer a professional photographer to photograph your newborn.

I loved the results we got with Luka so yes, we did it again!

My only regret is that we passed on this when we had Kai...I wish I had photos taken for him too.

Milo is 2 days old in these photos.
