Kau'e is loving and learning so much in school! I mean this kid wakes up and asks, "Yellow bus?". He hasn't left or come home crying or upset. He has to be reminded all the time to slow down that the bus isn't going to leave him! He loves it! He is all smiles! I mean the weekends are tough because he asks for the bus! Plus he loves his backpack! He touches his lower back area and says BackPack. He is growing so much and I love to see the growth in him. I know its tough being away from him for so long but he is growing and learning. He's in the right place. He goes to school Monday through Friday every day from 7:36am when the bus comes to 12:05pm when he is dropped off at home. It's a long time but he is doing great. Between all the snow days and delays he is doing great when he goes.
Let me tell you its amazing how much you can get done in those 4 hours when you only have 1 kid at home. I too get a lot done when I take Yara to my moms and I can run my crazy errands.
Yara misses him though. She most days needs to go to my moms to play with the other kids because she cries and calls for Kau'e when we are home. We are trying to do more together one on one but when you are used to having a big brother at home its different when he's gone.

Yara 18 months old
My baby is a year and a half old! How is this possible? Well, we were to have her wellness check up today but she is sick and it turned into a sick visit; ear infection! Figures! But we have a reschedule appoint later in March.
What a joy this little girl is to us!? She is such a blessing! Full of life, happiness, and adventure. She gets hurt more than Kau'e but then again she is a half pint compared to Kau'e. She is learning so much and loves to learn.
Height: 33" (75-90%)
Weight: 23 2.5lbs (25-50%)
Head: 75%
Shoe size 6-6.5
Clothes: She is in a 24 month/2T clothing but only for length because she is so tall enough though the waist is better in the 18 months! Her arms, torso, and legs are so long so she needs that bigger size. We have been so blessed to have hand me downs from friends and family. We do buy her things here and there but its saves us lots by getting things from people. Blessed!
Diapers: Size 3; Still! Really her waist isn't getting bigger! She is starting to wear over night diapers though!
Eyes: Brown! Big beautiful brown eyes. I think her eyes are the biggest thing about her!
Hair: Brown - light to medium dark brown. It is straight/curly.
Skin: light tone with some olive to it. She is a little mini me but a little darker tone.
Bed: she is now in a FULL size bed. She wasn't sleeping well in her toddler bed and well she ended up with us in our bed so we bought her a big bed so we could go back and lay with her to get her asleep. It's a slow process but she is doing great.
Sleep: Ha! She will sleep but its a fight. She still only naps once a day and its starting to become a habit to stay up until Kau'e gets off the bus at noon. She loves to see him get off the bus so I just wait! They both go down for a nap at noon and she will sleep anywhere from 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours. But some days are better than others. Some days I have to stay with her in her bed for the whole time because she has to be touching me! All is a process right!
Foods: Ha! Anything and everything she sees! Really! She is a champ at eating just wish her weight and waist showed it a little more! But she does poop a lot! Like 4 times a day! Fast metabolism I guess. Lucky.
Toys: Minnie Mouse!, Woody, Buzz, and pretty much anything else in between. She is an easy go lady.
She is mommy's little helper. If I am down on the ground picking up toys or cleaning she is right there beside me doing the work with me. It's adorable. Or when I'm putting on lotion or make up she will watch me and imitate what I'm doing. She is a little lady! She loves to put Vaseline on her lips and loves to dip her finger in it! She is a sweet girl and loves to gives hugs and kisses to everyone. She loves to wave bye bye.
Words: everything. she repeats us and is really learning lots because of the work we are doing with Kau'e and his school. She loves to pick up books and have us read them. She has learned her farm animals names and sounds.
I sit and think sometimes that I don't have her captured enough in pictures or videos and I feel bad about it. I know life is busy but is it too busy to take monthly pictures of her like I did with Kau'e? I take a lot of iphone pictures but that isn't the same as really nice camera pictures. I know my problem is a lens, my nice lens broke. Need to get it fixed. Excuses! I will try to get more pictures soon and get my iphone pictures on this blog to have her in pictures more. She is such a beautiful girl! Really big brown eyes and loving smile.
