super kalia

huge set at flemings

Maya in her sling

We finally had 1 day of sun - we went to the park and played in the sand and water. Kalia's friend Bianca left the island and we went to lunch at Leilani's with her family. We will miss them! Kona storm today, so we are mostly at home. We've been out every day this week it seems and so it's kind of nice to be at home. I did my first solo trip to Safeway with both girls and it was very successful - especially since we went to Barnes and Noble first and Kalia played with trains, read books and got a special snack in the cafe. We met with our play group at baby beach yesterday and despite traffic in Lahaina, there were so many moms and kids. There were 4 brand new babies too!

The weather cleared up a little and Erik took Kalia to look at the huge surf. We went last night to watch the waves at Flemings. We watched a couple of boogie boards battle their way out in the surf and finally the one guy who looked like he might actually make it out, lost his board on a big set and then the whole beach watched him try to get back in -- he made it in, but it was pretty intense to watch.

Maya has been very alert, she just loves her mobiles! Kalia and I have been reading a black and white picture book to her that she really looks at. She's been making quite a bit of sounds. Maya's been doing great out and about, she will sit and look at the scenery for a while, which I'm not used to since Kalia would never sit there, and still will go to her happy place in the sling. She's actually taking a nap right now, since it's actually quiet with Kalia out with Daddy.

Kalia had a good day yesterday going potty in the potty -- we'll see how it goes. Maya had a good night of sleeping, actually went 3 1/2 hours and then 3 hours (with Erik having her in the living room at first for a while), I feel pretty rested.
