weekly update

trying to stay on track :) my pictures are a little out of order but that's ok.

for mother's day we met my dad's side of the family up at a casino buffet.

it was so yummy...and they had crab legs, my fav

makai was a royal pain, eating like we never feed him

and spilling 75% of what he grabbed to eat onto the floor.

then when he was done eating he kept throwing his toys off the table

eventually he went back in his car seat...

where he ended up crying to be let out. dang baby.

after we ate tanner took emi to plan games in the arcade.

he was so nice to let her have all his tickets.

she got a ring pop...her favorite.

dun...dun...dun....i have yet to do his 8 month update.

maybe on thursday? don't hold your breath.

makai is seriously the worst sleeper ever. not sure if it's from teething.

he basically doesn't sleep more than 6 hours at a time at night.

i fight him every evening to keep him up until 7pm

he sleeps until about 11:30, sometimes he wakes up earlier....sometimes later.

so i tend to stay up...waiting for him to wake up.

once he wakes up...he will not go back to sleep in his crib

nor will he sleep in bed with us.

he will only go back to sleep in the swing...which he fights some nights

otherwise he just wants to be held.

emi has been dying to wear this dress.

one of eddie's co-workers sent this for emi from hawaii

and makai has a matching shirt.

can you believe she bought it from sears. ha! 

i secretly wanted to try to take it back here at the local sears...

 just to see what they would say

the other day she said: i know where i need to go!

i said: where? she said: hawaii, i've never been there

i said: yeah! tell your daddy.

poor emi. she wasn't feeling too well this day.

i had a few errands to run, one being the library.

we went to the library....she loves the library

so when she asked if we could go home, i knew something was up

she said she was tired and wanted to take a nap

jigga what!? miss no nap...was requesting a nap.

i explained what errands i needed to do while in town.

we kind of live in the country and we were "in town"

we literally drove down the street to the next destination....and she was asleep.

so i put makai in the cart and carried her. 

i should have just gone home but it was my last errand.

she stayed asleep and i carried her in

put her into bed, where she slept 2 more hours !?!

so weird. as i carried her up the stairs she felt hot

sure enough she had a 101 temp.

a couple hours later she was as good as new.

no fever....and playing the 'violin'.

except when dinner time rolled around she wouldn't eat.

she said she wasn't hungry.

got a new phone and i can't figure out the flash, auto flash....etc

but i loved how blue his eyes looked in this picture.

and his hair looks super light.

i wonder if his hair will get this light from the sun.

he really, really wants to feed himself which makes a huge mess.

oh his teething probably deserves a post of it's own.

he basically has been teething the last two months.

his upper teeth finally broke through...took so long

the second front tooth looked 'almost through' for so long.

he is up to 7 teeth...4 on the bottom and the 3 on top.

watch out he bites. he might act like he is snuggling

or giving you a kiss but really...he will bite you.

emi always wants to hold makai

and then 2 seconds later she is like...

ok, come get him off me.

at least she doesn't just push him off, right?

she hadn't seen him most of this day so she needed to hold him.

nakie bear. he is so wiggly at diaper changes

and fusses and arches to get away...already.

if i can distract him with something to chew on he is fine

otherwise it's a lost cause.

luckily he has only peed once or twice....and not that much.

on friday the youth from church had a spaghetti feed fundraiser

for scout camp and YW camp

they had a silent, live and dessert auction.

gpa won this trike for emi. she loves it.

she insisted we stop talking and go outside last time we were over.

 

sending a quick e-mail before bed.

i was looking for something for makai to play with while i put her to bed

since practically everything she 'owns' is off limits for him

so i dug around her toy chest and found her laptop.

she hadn't played for it in forever...so i thought she wouldn't care.

wrong. gasp! i've been looking all over for it!

and she quickly typed an e-mail.

this is how i spend my afternoons anywhere from 2-3 hours.

if i lay him in his crib he sleeps less than an hour.

emi usually watches a movie or has quite time while this is happening.

depending on how my previous night went

i usually sleep, read or catch up on shows

i wish it was winter, cause he is a personal furnace.

so glad melon season is here.

emi ate a watermelon in less than 24 hours.

she loves fruit, especially any kind of melon.

emi found this headband somewhere and thought she looked hilarious.

she left it on all evening and night.

finally when she went to bed, i asked her if she was going to sleep in it.

she had completely forgotten she had it on.

sometime during last week we went to the mall 

eddie had an exchange. so while he was exchanging his hat

we hit up the disney store.

she loved seeing all the sofia the first animals

good thing they were sold out of the sofia plush doll

or she might have had a melt down if we would have left without it.
