Cry Baby Matinee

After reading the Hunger Games Triology in five days, I was ready to see the movies.  I had recently discovered that the local theathers have a weekly Cry Baby Matinee.  Once a week there is a specific show and theather where babies and children are allowed to go and make noise.  The lights are not completely dimmed and no one looks at you when the baby makes noise.  Kai went with his friends Austin and Teddy and of course there Mamas to see the Hunger Games in Kapolei.  He enjoyed talking to Teddy behind him, making friends with the baby girl 2 rows ahead of him and standing in the back with Austin.  I was able to see the majority of the movie.  Kai was exhausted when it was over and slept the whole way home.

While Pa was snowboarding in Alaska, Kai and I went to the 84th EN BN Spring Fest and supported the 561st FRG by running the game, pin the egg on the basket.  Kai was a great helped and loved seeing all the people.  He sat on the easter bunny's lap with no hesitation.  He participated in his first egg hunt and was quite clever at it.  He was able to find the egg, taste it and then put it in his bucket.  I was able to put him in a secluded spot so he would not get trampled.  He found 5 eggs.  Kai likes to share so he gave all his candy to his friend Chloe.

Ohana Music Together

Trot Ol Joe

Time for bells

Playing drums with Rogan

On Friday, Kai had his last music class for the semester. The theme was bells and Kai loved class and made some great new friends there.  For the last class, he brought a lei in for Miss Peggy.  He was serenaded with the ukulele and he was able to sit on the teacher's lap for " Trot Ol' Joe".

10 months

Kai is 10 months old!  It is amazing how quickly he is growing.  He is still trying to walk and taking a few steps.  He loves to babble and talk to "dog-dog."  Kai loves going for rides in his stroller and playing with dog-dog.  He is really good at keeping a beat and has developed a really good sense of rhythm from music class.

Happy Kai

Unfortunately, Kai's 10 month also started with his first bladder infection.  He had a fever all weekend and it spiked to 104.  I brought him in to see his pediatrician and she ordered blood work and a cath to see if it was a bladder infection.  Kai did great with the prodding but they brought me a box of tissues.  Despite his fair skin, getting blood proved to be difficult.  The results came back positive for a bladder infection and Kai was not himself.  He cried way more then he ever had thankfully he made a quick recovery.  Kai is now back to his happy, laughing self.

Jimmy Buffet

Jimmy Buffett was playing at the Waikiki Shell.  Victor's friend from college had extra tickets, so we took Kai to his first concert not at the Waialua Bandstand.  We had lawn seats and hearing protection.  The music was not loud and Kai enjoyed the music.  He was not the youngest baby, there were two 4 month olds there, but he did get cheers for being at his first concert. Some highlights were the opener of Wish you Were Here the Weather is Beautiful, Son of a Salior, Duke's on Sunday, and Five o'clock Somewhere.

Happy St Patrick's Day

Happy St Patrick's Day. Happy St Patrick's Day.  Happy St. Patrick's Day to you and me!!

Kai celebrated his first St Patrick's Day Hawaiian style.  He started the day with watermelon for breakfast and then went with both parents to a make up music class.  Kai was thrilled to have his Papa there to sing and dance with him.  We skipped the parades and drunken merriment in Chinatown.

Loves walking with his alligator clackarator

Happy St Patty's Day, with Aloha

Put me down I want to play

The hat is too much

Playing in the sand is fun

Standing

How cute are the locked out knees

We ended the day with a walk to the beach.  There was driftwood everywhere on the beach from the recent storms.  Kai liked playing with all the driftwood while Caspian chased coconuts in the water.
