over the rainbow

Note: You should probably play some Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole to read this post. I promise it will enhance the experience :-).

We took the little dude on his first vacation to Kauai Hawaii the beginning part of June for freeeeee, thanks to the extreme generosity of Scott's mom and step dad!! Thanks Mark and Martie!! It was a whole family vacation with the Steele siblings and parents and it was so much fun!! 

I have to say I'm a huge fan of getting to hang out with my hubs and baby for 24 hours a day for a whole week!! I was not a huge fan of being the XL with all the XS women though! I know I just had a baby and really I'm not that self conscious about myself (at least I'm not when I'm my regular weight of M/L), it just made me wish for the body I had when Scott and I got married. I gained 55lbs with my pregnancy and have only lost 40lbs of it, plus the 15lbs I gained after the wedding trying to get knocked up...looks like it's time to get my butt in gear!! OK, no more body woes & back to the vacation! Here are some of my favorite pics of the week:

Hanalei Bay, my favorite place on the island!

I think Scott was jealous he didn't have a matching hat :-)


In case you didn't know it's pretty hot & humid in Hawaii. I think it's funny the boy was just laying like a lump on a log here (aka daddy). It took us all a day or two to adjust to the weather.

Shrimp tacos!
 
Queens Bath
 

Ollie doing his Braveheart yell...or yawning

Waimea Canyon

I'm pretty sure this is my husbands first selfie in his life, so I had to post it. Haha!


Waterfalls everywhere!

(can you tell my husband is the main picture taker)

Ocean fun!!

Babies first ocean experience...don't mind the cleavage :-)

 

 Pool time!

We went on a plane ride around the island!! It was soooo cool!!

  




Look peacocks!!

My cute boys

 

Aloha!!

bouncing baby boy

We prefer to use those big work out balls for bouncing on rather than for sit ups. He will laugh every time!

Seriously those balls are baby magic!!

3 months and counting

My 3 month maternity leave is up and I start back to work. It's been so fun being home with my baby and loving on him all day! I'm lucky I only have to go back to work part time though. I can handle being gone from him for 4 hours in the morning since he sleeps most that time. Hopefully when Scott graduates from school I will have the opportunity to be home with the dude full time. Keep your fingers crossed!

Here are some of the boys cuteness from the last month :-)

 "How you doin?!"

 First night in his crib! (This reminds me I need to post his nursery tour)

 My boys looking dapper for church

 

 Always sucking on those fingers!

 Tummy time...which he hates!

 My little man on his first flight! He poo'd his clothes :-)

 Love those lashes!

Happy 3 month birthday baby boy!
