ten months!

ten months used to seem like a really long time before our little 10 month old came around. he had a very fun 10 month bday. he spent the whole day with his auntie lala had a visit with auntie tely and a big sushi dinner with his auntie nicole, auntie michelle,auntie lulu, matt, daddy & moi. awwwww the love! he generates so much love from within and receives so much love. he loves to kiss and nuzzle....... and some times he likes to give a nice "love slap" in the face....... watch out for that one!
we're going to have a walker in a week or 2, he stands for about 15 seconds and sits down once he realizes he's standing. he even repeats words like doggie & dirty (durteeeeee) i know i sound like a broken record...... but obviously i don't care........ i love this adorable little man. we get a kick out of him. he has such a old cool soul mixed with a little bit of howler monkey!

happy 33rd bday daddy!

after an action packed weekend the bday boy enjoyed a day of surfing and chilling with milo. we finished it up with a family dinner at the spaghetti factory. happy birthday!

the war at the shore

so this weekend was the annual dodgeball tournament in newport beach. it's such a fun day to go down and watch the craziness of dodgeball.......... the teams have been taking this tournament more seriously as the years go by. lorin's team the newport legends played for the 3rd year in a row. it was a really fun california day..... the newport legends didn't really do the best but they won best outfits and got a trophy for it. better luck next year boys! :)
