Aloha! Greetings from Hawaii!
IMG_2380

I plan to check with more pictures and stories soon, but right now, we’re trying to unplug and live in the moment. It’s crazy how liberating it is to not be a slave to email, facebook, twitter, and my blog. I’ve only been here for two days and I’m already half way through a book (imagine that!)

It’s 8pm here and we’re heading to bed. Vacation for the win!

See you guys soon with more!

 

Hike to the Hollywood Sign May 4, 2013

Filed under: Baby,Hiking,Hollywood Events,Los Angeles — Kelocity @ 4:06 am

Last week, the weather was perfect (as always in LA, right?!) and I was dying to get outside for a fun hike with Adele. My friend Melissa and I packed up our girls and set out to climb to the top of the hollywood sign.

I love this one of the two girls telling secrets. =)

It was pretty warm, but the girls were slathered in sunscreen, covered in hats and sipping water along the way. They LOVED it. Both of them were babbling the whole time. They especially loved watching the horses come down the trail.

Adele may be an LA baby, but she still loves nature. Even if you can’t tell from this picture. haha

We may or may not have gotten lost and missed TWO turns in the trail, but eventually, we made it to the top of Mt. Lee (also known as the Hollywood Sign!) We were above the sign looking down at the iconic letters. Sometimes I can’t believe that we live here. The city of dreams down below there!

The walk back down was fun and Adele snoozed for a while til we got back to our cars. Nothing like a sleeping baby while getting some exercise and catching up with a friend!

It was Melissa’s birthday(!!) so we finished our day with some pizza and a playdate back at my house. These two have a blast together.

And they have matching pants, so that pretty much makes them inseparable.

So thankful for the wonderful friends I’ve made since having Adele. What an awesome day, thanks Melissa!!

Mr. Puppy: Adele’s BFF May 3, 2013

Adele has been sleeping with the same little puppy since she was four months old. She LOVES it. When it’s time for bed, she takes the puppy and rubs it on her cheek or puts it on her forehead and promptly falls asleep. I knew that a lovey can be a great sleep association, but I had no idea how much she’d truly grow to love Mr. Puppy.

Usually, puppy stays in the crib. I wanted her to associate it with sleep, so I never let her play with it when it wsan’t time to sleep. But now that she’s mobile, she figured out that she can rescue puppy from his crib jail during the day. He’s freeeee!

So now puppy gets to come on all of Adele’s adventures with her (around the house). She crawls around carrying him in her mouth. It’s pretty hilarious.

I catch her talking and playing with him all the time, it’s SOOO cute!

Some kids have a blankie, some kids have a stuffed animals. Adele has puppy, they are best friends.

No puppy left behind.

PS, how cute is her sticker! She got it at an event last week. Awe. Sometimes I forget how legit she is.

But as much as Adele loves puppy, I am starting to think he’s a bad influence too. He convinced Adele to go into my room and take my giant tub of lotion into the living room. I have a feeling these two are going to get into lots of trouble in the coming months.

Irving took Adele up to visit Grandma a few weeks ago. She had a blast playing with some of the toys Irving played with as a baby.  I think she had a great time!

What’s this Green Stuff? April 26, 2013

Filed under: Baby,playground — Kelocity @ 4:15 am

Adele’s usually pretty easy going… but we found out recently that she does NOT like grass. She won’t even touch it, let alone crawl on it.
IMG_1457
So, of course, that meant we tortured her by making her sit on it. haha poor baby.

Then she realized it wasn’t so bad if she didn’t have to touch it!
