We're in love

Sweet baby Tristan is almost 5 weeks now and is growing so fast. We are savoring every minute we have with him because we know he won't be this tiny forever.


My two favorite boys.

He loves bath time. And one of his favorite things to do is curl up into a ball when I snuggle with him. He always brings his knees up to his chest.

Some of his new toys! He's still getting used to his new swing. He only lasts about 10 minutes in it before he cries. Also, his new stroller finally arrived. The Bumbleride Indie. So far, this stroller is amazing. It rides so smoothly and I can even steer with one hand.


I was able to sneak a quick video of my two boys cuddling together. So cute.

This boy has been busy

These first three weeks have been overwhelming but wonderful. It amazes us how much he changes each day. He weighed in this week at 7 lbs. 4 oz. Doc said he gained more than expected. We have a little porker on our hands. This is what the little guy has been up to;


He has found his own thumb. My mom said this is how I used to suck my thumb, with my whole hand resting on my face.


He's a snuggle bug. We're not complaining.


Faithfully doing his neck exercises. This little guy is strong.


Trying to figure out how he got here. He's very alert and aware of his surroundings now.


His umbilical cord fell off this week. Big week! This is his first 'big boy' bath and we were so proud of him, he didn't even cry. He's a little camera shy here.


He's already learned how to give stink eye. I'm not sure where he is learning this from.

I think we'll keep him


He loves sleeping on his side.

He's a sucker.

Some Dad time.

Tristan Kamuela

Baby Tristan was born on thursday morning the 26th of february. Everything went very smoothly. He came out sunny side up (with his face facing up), so he got a bit stuck for a little during delivery and came out with bruises on his forehead. He looked like he'd been in a street fight but he's still the cutest thing ever. He weighed 6 lbs 13 oz and was 20" long. He has pretty dark eyes that actually look like they could end up being blue,which would be a surprise, so we'll have to see. So far we've learned he's a big snuggle bug, he had a hard time sleeping last night if he wasn't being held and cuddled. The main thing is he's healthy and we are so happy to have the chance to be his parents!








His first car ride, going home from the hospital on saturday.

ps: we have to give a shout out to our doctor, Dr. Dao. He's one of our favorite people and we're kind of obsessed with him. He did a great job bringing Tristan to us safely and helped make the whole experience quite pleasant considering what was going on. thanks Dao!
