Malia is crawling!!

Omg! Today is the actual day that Malia started crawling! Yesterday I took some video of her in her baby class and she was almost there. Well it happend today. Slow but she can move around now. I am soo excited...and scared. Haha!

Mud time!

Is it my birthday yet??!

Savannah is turning 4yrs old Aug 1st and this is the first year that she has really been into her birthday. She asks all the time " Is it my birthday yet?" and when I say no it isn't, she sighs and says "Ughhhhh"! She can't wait for it. Partly because we have been to so many birthday parties and hers is pretty much last compared to her friends at school.

Here she is helping with the invitations. Of course Princess stickers and invites.




Omg....!

My efforts for Mother Earth..

I vow not to take home anymore plastic shopping bags!! Not one more! I despise them! I have a million already that we are trying to recycle from eons ago, so no more! Yeah, we had already changed over using to the boxy cloth like green bags for all our grocerey shopping but what would get me were the short unexpected trips to random stores when you only by 5 to 10 items and didn't plan for it. Or what about clothes shopping?? Since all of my other "green"grocerey bags were bulky and big sitting in the back of my car for those big grocerey shopping days they did me no good. Well until I discovered these:
EnviroSax and Chico bags.
I absolutely love them because I can carry them in my purse. They fold up so tiny. I carry about 3 at all times and they have already served me well! Before I would try to just carry my items so I wouldn't have to use another plastic bag but who was I kidding?? I had my hands full already, with holding Savannah's hand and Malia in the other arm. Also as you can see the EnviroSax's ones are large. They are twice as big as a regular plastic bag. The Chico bags ( also carried at Whole Foods) are nice too because they stuff into itself so easy and fast but are smaller. I end up using the larger EnviroSax more. Two thumbs up here for both. P.s look at my handsome model-haha( it's Greg)

Looky this!

Check this out. I just found this at Target and anyone who knows me knows that we use hand sanitizer ( alcohol only formula) regularly when we are out and about. Well this one is totally natural made of "Ingenium" main ingredient Thyme oil. 99.99% effective as well. Anyhow I like this because many times we can't use the traditional alcohol based ones on little ouchy hands so this would be the solution. No sting, non toxic /edible, etc,..blah, blah blah, non drying and it sprays so I can spray it onto grocery carts etc. As soon as I did Malia put her mouth right to the cart- yuck but yippee! (Gen and Nori- I may have to send you some if you don't have it out there.)

Malia starts Baby Gym baby class

I enrolled Malia into "Baby Gym"class. I wanted to make sure that she, as the second child gets to have just what the first child had too.

Look how cute Malia is in the ball pit with a ton of other babes. Most all are crawling. She is loving it, she gets really excited when she sees all the other babes cruising, playing and interacting. I think it is all that peer pressure that has motivated her to practice crawling..she is not quite there yet, but she leans so far foward and then back into sitting position. She also gets on her arms and knees and rocks back and forth but if she ends up on her stomach, it is all over-she starts crying for help. I think just a few more weeks until she starts crawling!

It is funny because when I took Savannah to this class when she was this age we had a off class of about 6 babies. This one on the other hand is big! I would say atleast 15 babies or even more. I will take more pics to show how lively this class is. It is fun! It also gets me out there.

What a nice day at the Aquarium with Bella and Mia.
