Amara & Esme: ichiban chibichans!!

In just a few weeks, our very good friends the Wells-Watson family will be moving to America and we are just heartbroken to be losing them. I will write a bit more later after more memories are captured in the coming weeks (and also cuz I just can`t cry anymore this week about them leaving). So for now I am trying to focus on the happy memories Amara will (maybe?) have of her very first best best friend! They have just recently begun to discover each other and kinda-sorta play with one another and it is seriously the cutest thing ever! We love you miss Esme!! xoxoxo

Early Xmas present from Hawaii!!

It was a few weeks early for Christmas, but Gramma and Grampa came for a short but sweet visit in early December. It was such a nice surprise (they told us about a week beforehand) and it was so wonderful having them here. Although it took Miss Amarachi a few days to warm up to them, by the end of the trip she was back to playing with Grampa and cuddling with Gramma. Oh, how we would love to be closer (fingers crossed, fingers crossed that will happen sooner rather than later). Gramma of course was busy cooking, cleaning and daily trips to Fresta (our local supermarket) and filling our freezer with bags and bags of ice-cubed homemade baby food. What would we do without Gramma?! It was way too short a visit but we had a lovely time just hanging at home and spending time altogether. Even though we skype almost everyday and Amarachi runs to the computer when she hears the skype "ring", nothing beats REAL Gramma and Grampa hugs and kisses. Missing you guys everyday! ALOHA!!

Taste tester......

Amarachi has just begun to like food and meal time. She loves eating all-things-not-food, but only recently has come to enjoy human food. She loves apples, bananas, rice cereal, plain tofu and yogurt, and avocado but as you can tell from the last picture does NOT like tofu when mixed with carrots, peas or anything else that Mummy tries to mix with it. Sneaky cheeky Mummy!

It must be Saturday night!!

Stayin alive, Stayin alive....ah, ah, ah, ah, Stayin aliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive!!
