Boat...Float...Water

Kellan comes running down the hallway saying "mommy, mommy, boat float water!" I said, "yes, you're right Kellan. A boat does float on the water." He then ran into the bathroom and i ofcourse followed him to see the following scene. What?!! Back into playing in the potty? Oh geez...thought we were long past this phase. It was pretty funny though and i've got to hand it to him, he was right on with his concept of boats floating in the water!

This was my attempt to continue with the learning moment but reposition into a more sanitary lake...his baby bath!
Clearly he didn't mind or loose imagination as he dove right in pjs and all!

Makenna Cooing and Smiling A Ton At 10 Weeks

Here are a few videos of Makenna chatting away at 10 weeks old. She's very engaging and social!


Makenna and her many suitors

Who will woo our little princess one day far far away from today?
Will it be Charlie?
Or Noah?
We will have to wait and see. As for now, i'm quite sure she loves daddy best!

Hilarious Model Photo Shoot

Kellan's darling Godmother Alexis gave Kellan this AMAZING vest when he was born and we've been waiting patiently till this moment when it finally fits perfectly! My objective was to take a picture and send it to Alexis but then Kellan starting striking all sorts of hilarious model poses so it turned into a REAL photo shoot and blog post. Enjoy and THANK YOU AGAIN ALEXIS!

Splish Splash Makenna's Taken A Bath

Kellan was such a sweet older brother and let Makenna borrow all his bath toys for her bath. Luckily only one thing was chucked in close to her head! Warning - watch out for flying whales!

Makenna loves the bath especially in hot water just like her mama!
All Clean - as Kellan would say!

Welcome Henry Leo Hodermarsky

Welcome to the world Henry Leo Hodermarsky!

Lil guy knows how to make a memorable entrance that's for sure!!! Clearly he is an ambitious little one who likes suprises and birthday parties (his mom's bday is tomorrow and big sister Lily's the day after). Rager at the Hodermarksy's pretty much every year with the trifecta!

We love you already lil Henry and can't wait to meet you!

Sibling Love

Kellan loves his baby sister and often when noone is looking steals kisses and hugs...how sweet!

Hilarious

You know your kid has a sense of humor a hidden talent both in tech and the arts when you check your photo log on your iphone and find an entire series taken of waffles. Kellan apparently snuck my phone and started snapping away.....

I Know What You're Thinking

Nice second child treatment as there haven't been any pix posted of Makenna which i am guilty of but it's really only because videos are more interesting to take of Kellan these days.

Makenna, lil princess, this one's for you! You rockin' a cute summer outfit.
9 week cooing!

Friday Night Family Dinner

The weather was gorgeous so we decided to play at the park until daddy was off from work and then meet him at our fave casual but very yummy burger joint ROAM for a fun family dinner. It was even warm enough to sit outside which is almost unheard of during SF summer.

Here's a video of Kellan working up his appetite running the baseball diamond.
Here is Kellan drinking is milkshake...REALLY excited about his ice cream treat!

Finally A Few Summer Days In SF

So what's on tap? the beach, naturally! Kellan and Charlie wanted to try their hat at kayaking.
Kellan wasn't so sure about sharing a pit with Charlie.

Yes, one for each boy seemed to work much better. These boys had a ball at the Sausalito beach together.
Another beach day with mommy, daddy and Makenna.
I'm not scared of this cold Pacific water.. in fact i won't only dip my feet in but i'll sit in it too so i can make the perfect sand castle.
Across town in Ross Eli and Kellan had a ball playing with the water faucet, bucket and sandpit.
All smiles playing in the water on a hot day in marin.
