Tent play !

I love it when they get along and play for hours.

It's not always like this though..sometimes they fight and yell at each other.

O boy...I feel like crazier days are to come!

4 months old 4か月♥

Milo turned 4 months today♥

今日で4か月！

Fun pictures ♥

Tummy time.

Wow...Milo is getting chubby!!

^_^

The kids took a selfie!

When Kai is at Preschool...

Here we are waiting for Kai's class to end.

They spend the last part of the day outside at their playground.

Luka wanted to go play with them...

Don't worry Luka! You'll be starting Preschool next year!

On this day I decided to kill all the time at Target before picking up Kai.

I let Luka roam around the store.  

He wouldn't let go of that football...

play-doh thief...!

I caught the moment! Luka steals Kai's play-doh!

Yep, Luka still needs to learn manners...

He constantly takes things, throws, pushes, etc.

I'm just glad Kai is patient with him.  Looks like Luka is gonna be a troublemaker.

Milo's baby talk

Trying to get him to talk more...but whenever I put the camera near him he gets distracted and stops laughing/talking.  Grrr...  I need to be more sneaky I guess!

alphabet cereal

mmmm his new favorite!

Table set ♥

A table set for the kids!

I've been looking for a long time for the perfect table+chair set for the kids.

I wanted one that was not too small (quickly outgrow) nor too big...(we don't have much space) and I think I finally found my table peace.  Introducing the kids kraft nantucket table set (I think?).

It's a perfect size!  Kai can easily use this for many more years and Luka is still too small for it but he can easily climb up the chairs.  I can even sit on it comfortably.

I built the chairs first and had the table made by the next morning.

The kids woke up to a completed set and were excited!

We've already played with play-doh, drew some doodles, read books and even played a board game on it!  This is officially the new hangout spot!

Earphones

Trying out earphones for the first time.

He thought it was amazing!

He wouldn't give it back...

Drawings ♥

These are drawings done by Luka.

The top one looks like a cute loaf of bread!

And he tells me the bottom drawing "It's a snowman".

Interesting because this snowman has hair!

By Kai.

Apparently the left one is Mommy and the right one is Daddy.

Mommy has bigger hair and daddy has a beard, represented by dots.

Luka's nap series !

Every day he fights his sleepy-self.

Normally he takes a nap in the early afternoon...but lately he fights it and insists on staying up!

 Sometimes he'll make it to 7pm and he's out...but usually he ends up falling asleep somewhere.

Zzzzz

Let's make ice cream...!

Play-Doh is super fun but it's even better when you have an ice cream making machine!

They were entertained for about 2 hours.

I got a lot done...cleaning, dishes, etc.

Milo's drool party...!

Warning: Baby Drool

Could he be teething already?
Milo has been experiencing excessive drooling these days...and boy is it entertaining to watch!

よだれ・よだれ・よだれ！

I felt around his gums and I didn't feel any teeth...besides, I feel it's still too early.

So why all the drooling, Milo?

歯が生えてきてるのかな？

にしても早すぎない？

"Hmmm...this hand looks delicious..."

「う～ん、この手おいしそう！」

*Nom nom nom*

「食べちゃえ！」

"O hai mom...I wasn't doing anything ^_^ "

「ん？え？何もしてないよ～」

This heat...!

I'm enjoying wearing Luka on my back lately.  It's like a giant backpack.

He gets tired when we walk too far so I put him on my back.

It's fun for him and a workout for me!

He's so silly...he talks non-stop, constantly asking me questions right by my ear.

I love it!

Bringing out the water table!

Too much play made Luka tired and sleepy.

Getting ready for nap time with his favorite blanket + Toy Story 3♥

Very scary...

First of all, WE ARE ALL OK!  

I do have a slight bruise on my abdomen from the seat belt and a sore neck but we are all okay!

It was a beautiful sunny day on Thursday and on my way to pick up James from work, we were involved in a 4 car collision.  I was sandwiched between the 1st car and 3rd car.  A 4th car failed to brake and rammed right into us.  It. Was. Scary.  The kids were all asleep and they woke up crying but were all okay.  Milo was even smiling when I checked up on him.  Paramedics also checked on the kids.  

Thankfully we were close to James so he came and met up with us.  We're in the process of dealing with the accident and getting things in order.  Hopefully the stress and headache of this accident comes to an end soon. And I must say, thank goodness for safety car seats.  They did their job!

Luka's backpack ♥

Now that the Snoopy wave is over, (The Peanuts movie came out last summer I think) I was able to find some cute Snoopy goodies on clearance!

I scored a super cute Snoopy backpack that I knew Luka would love and could use for when HE starts Preschool.  Sure enough he loved it and wore it around the house.

He also wouldn't let go of my Snoopy keychain and whaddaya know...now I can't find it.

It's been missing for days...

Luka, where did you put it?!

And he also likes to do this...

"Where's Luka? Where's Luka?"

Supposedly he's hiding behind his hands but I can totally see him...

baby laughs are the best

This trick worked with Kai too...Daddy pretend-sneezes and they find it hilarious.

Milo laughs...but he also has this gurgle in his laughs.  

So funny!

Prezzies from Alon ♥

First off...here's the happy mail dance!

They're just like me..I get so giddy when I get deliveries!

The box was much bigger than I thought it would be.

What's inside...?

(also, excuse the messy room..it's been crazy)

OMG the kiddos got their very own pillows!

One for Luka and one for Milo ♥

The fabric is so cute!  Luka got the awesome flying squirrels on his.

Thank you SO MUCH Alon!

I miss you so much and I often have flashbacks of our work days...

you always make me laugh! And I always admire your craftiness♥

And here's Luka, guarding 'his' pillows.  

Yep, he says they're both his and I can't touch them.

Drawings

Luka's drawings--simple and cute.

The bottom drawing features a forehead wrinkle and some chin pimples.

A sad face.

And a kissy face ♥

I wish these guys would draw on actual paper so I can save them....

But when I give them paper and markers, they only make scribbles.

Something about these magnetic drawing pads I guess..
