Let's play

It doesn't happen often, but it's so cute when it does!

Brotherly love

Here are a few pictures of Niko and Malia from the first weeks together. He isn't always this lovey with her, but towards the end of the day he gets very affectionate. I'll catch him staring at her like he's trying to figure out who this new little person is, or see him holding her hand or rubbing her arm to try and calm her down when she's crying.

Water babies

The pool at Grandma's house is up again just in time for the heatwave! Niko has always loved the water and it looks like Malia is a little fish too!

Dog lover

Pug love

This picture of Niko and Lola is pretty much what everyday is like--Niko hugs Lola until she finally gives in and sits with him.

Beach day

Malia's first time at the beach-we switched it up from Wingaersheek to go to Crane Beach in Ipswich. We'll definitely be going back, although Wingaersheek is still our favorite for sand dollars.

Almost a freshmen

Niko's new chair

Our favorite Ikea chair finally lives in our home-it spins, it's a hideout, it a place to sit with your sister (definitely not Niko's first choice).

One of those rare moments when Niko was willing to sit with Malia for a picture!

Sometimes the only way to get anything done is to put the baby in a basket!
