.five months old.

kaiya turned FIVE MONTHS old on valentine's day!  time sure does fly by.  she keeps growing and growing, it's hard to imagine that just a few months ago she was baking away in my belly.  i miss those days of her kicking me in the ribs and partying in the wee hours of the morning!  but i sure do LOVE having her here.  everytime we look at her she just melts our heart and we fall in love with her and each other, over and over and over again!

here's a few pictures of her from her five month birthday shoot.  it's getting quite difficult to take these monthly pictures.  i can just imagine taking them in a couple months when she's crawling...or when she starts walking!  probably gonna have to take them in her sleep.  lol!

.kaiya's valentine's weekend.

since daddy had to work all weekend, he decided to treat mommy to a valentine's lunch on his day off, which was on friday.  we didn't go anywhere fancy, but it was good nonetheless.  kaiya ate lunch prior to mommy and daddy's lunch, so while they were eating, little miss kaiya was happy happy happy. check her out in her bumbleride...wearing her "love" cirque du soleil onesie that grandma barbara and papa harry got for her in las vegas when they went to watch the "love" over the summer.

kaiya also got a couple early valentine's gifts.  two puppies (one from grandma barbara and papa harry, and the other all the way from new mexico from grandma barb) ...

and two books from mommy and daddy ("i love you through and through..." and "love you forever")...

kaiya kept the love theme going on saturday and sported a cute 'love me' onesie.

she also decided to play a little hide and seek from mommy.

on sunday, she didn't feel too good...probably because mommy decided to eat chili w/beans a few days earlier.  note to mommy: kaiya HATES beans!!  but...she still sported a cute happy valentine's day shirt with some jeans that mommy picked up at ooh, baby recycled in hanamaulu.

that was pretty much the extent of kaiya's first valentine's day weekend.  not very eventful...but really, there is no need for a designated day to express love.  that should probably be done on a daily, or at least regular, basis!  to many more days of expressing love....
