Kau'e is 3

It's amazing how 3 years went by!  I mean it was just yesterday I waiting in the hospital not knowing if he was going to be born okay.  I was in the hospital waiting 5 days before he was delivered.  My little preemie baby boy 3 years old!  He had his 3 year wellness check up on 1/2/2014.

Stats: 47.5 lbs
Height 3ft 4in

He is a big boy!

Clothing: 5-7 boys size
Shoe size: 9.5 extra wide
Diaper: 6

We are so proud of our little boy!  He is going to be going to preschool through the school system sometime in January.  He qualified for the preschool program after we went through Child Find to get him tested.  He is making progress and I know once he's in school he will improve even more.

He loves Toy Story right now.  He is so into the movies that he asks for more Buzz and Woody.  Its adorable.  For Christmas he received the large size of Buss and Woody.  You can't imagine how much he loves them.  He always remembers Woody's hat too.  And he plays with them and pretends to lose Woody's hat and then Buzz will find it.  Or put the hat on Buzz and say stuff.  It's hilarious to watch him play pretend.  He doesn't do that!  But he's getting into it.

He is a great sleeper.  He sleeps from 7:30-7:45pm to about 5:45-6am.  It's early but we can usually get him to lay with us or we put the tv on in our room and he sits on the ottoman at the foot of our bed.  It's cute.  Plus he still naps for me.  They are anywhere from 1 hour to 2 hours depending on whatever.

He is a good eater too.  He has his moments but he is 3 after all. He loves his dinosaur chicken nuggets.

He still drinks Almond Milk.  He still has allergies to strawberries, molds, grasses, and trees.  But his allergy meds help out in the seasonal things.

Kau'e loves his sister.  He does get upset at her if she is trying to take every toy away from him but he doesn't mind if she pulls his hair or play bits his feet.  It's hilarious he say's "Oh Ya-Ya" and laughs.  We have to watch her...lol!

Well since his birthday is Dec 28 and so close to Christmas we changed his party from the Saturday before 12/21/13 instead of his actually birthday.  Memom and Gradad were going to San Diego to visit Emma, Sawyer, and Calvin so we changed it.  It was a pirate themed party.  It was a blast.  We handed out little party favors first because inside the bag was all things to dress up as a pirate with; tattoos, patches, necklaces, stickers, eye scoop, hat, and a whistle.  Romulo and I made a ship cake for him.  We took a tin turkey pan and molded it to his Buckey Jake Ship then put in two cake mixes and baked it. We then iced it with 3 icings and then added pretzels, life savors mints, and toy helm and Jake doll.  Plus the ship was on the sea waters (blueberry blue jello). (Pictures to come of all.)  We then ate all pirate foods; seaweed wraps (costco turkey wraps), fish and chips (gold fish and chips), jewels (fruit: blueberries, grapes, and apples), cannons (popcorn), salt water (bottled water), and gold of nuggets (chicken nuggets).  We had them color and then go downstairs were we opened presents and had them free play.  It was a blast.  I know he loved it.

Santa 2013

Well we went to see Santa and of course my children burst my perfect world bubble again.  But its okay because these are memories!  Picture of the kids with Santa, some after shock pictures, and pictures from Sunday morning before church.

Winter 2013

The first real big snow fall of the season has hit us.  Sunday, Dec 8, we awoke to snow and for the past three days its been a winter wonderland.  We actually only had sacrament meeting and then was released from church for the rest of the day because of the weather.  Here are some pictures of the kids in the snow.  Fashion show for momma of course.  Kau'e is 18 days from being 3 years old and Yara is 10 days from being 16 months.

Family Time

With Romulo's parents being here we took advantage and did some sight seeing.  Wish it was more but with my surgery I couldn't do much.  I mean we went to Mt Vernon the week after my surgery and I about died that night; too much walking.  But we love the Christmas lights at the temple.  When we were at the temple a bus driver was nice enough to let Kau'e on the bus.  It's an understatment to say he likes buses.  He loves buses and he is the radar king to seeing buses first!  So there is a picture of him below!
