I would too if I had that sweet face looking at me all day.
I LOVE this age when they are learning to talk. So fun.
Is she almost 2 (Oct 13)? It's easy to remember your kids bdays :)
Kawena is such a doll! I love this phase of life too when they are just learning to talk. Then they never shut up and you're wondering why you wanted them talking anyway.
An incredible photographer and an amazing subject. Truly an unbeatable combo. I am jealous! I am going to miss that kid!
I love this age. Cole's sweet voice and continuous growing vocabulary makes me feel like time is flying. Like you, I crave his sweet voice.
O-tay. That is too adorable. But my favorite is "BISH! BISH!" And that picture of her. My word. She looks just like Nani and like she's a girl, not a baby anymore. But she's adorable at any age!

i love that word too! so cute that little girl! malia took some great pictures while she was there.
I love their imperfect words. It's the best! She looks so grown up in that picture!!
I love baby voices. I would record my girls talking when they were little so that I will never forget what they sounded like.
So precious!
Now can she come and teach my kids to say it too?
Too cute! I miss the cute things she says... and the cute way she says them!
She is delicious!
Oh, Thank you for sharing some more of my little sweet Kawena, I miss her and all of them. And you and Mitch too! Love you all.
isn't this the best age? i love it so very much. i'm glad you captured this because it feels like this is how she'll always be but you know how quickly she'll have grown out of these cute little words and phrases.
