FUIMAONO FAMILY

I always go on these fitness/health kicks and things tend to go well until I end up pregnant. This time it's different. This time, things are more serious because it's not just about being fit and losing weight. It's about truly improving my health and addressing the issues that have emerged from years of weight gain, birth, stress, and not so good eating habits. And because we don't intend to have any more kids, it just feels like it will be more sustainable. Side note--- It still hasn't fully sunk in that Salani is our last baby. Like I'm not going to get pregnant again!! (unless by some craaaaazzzzyy miracle, but by then it's like...oh ok the Lord aint playin) But it's exciting, but weird, but awesome, but sad, but just a new thing for me to adjust to. Anyways...it feels like our family is in a new chapter and for me personally that includes a new approach to how I tend and care for the body I have been given. So here goes! 6 Weeks Post Patrum...

It's been a while since I've done one of these and my my how my tribe has grown .  LEILA 9 years old | 4th Grade this girl is such a crack up she's learned how to text/message people so she's been consistently texting Brittany (of course) from my phone 😂😂😂 and her messages are hilarious. They always start with "hello this is your best friend Leila" and yes she is Brittany's mini and sometimes they sneak out and go eat icecream (monkeys) We have to be careful about the things we say around her because she hears everything and I find myself always having to say "grown folks are talking" as a signal that she needs to step out of hearing distance She's learning to cook and bake more and more things ( yeeeesssss)...and we all appreciate it so so much.  When it comes to clothes/getting dressed, her style is definitely laie girl kine-- tita bun, athletic leisure wear, Jslippers. So simple. I always ask her to wear her nice sweat...

Last month we celebrated our former "baby" of the family turning 2 years old.  Oh how we love this little curly hair, super strong, funny az, fatso cutie pie.  Happy 2nd Birthday  Metuli Lapreal Fuimaono Nicknames: Tuli bear, Turi Turi, Mechuli, My Tuli, Bully A few things about this two year old.... She is still a bottomless pit. She can eat all day long. We often have to cut her off.  She is still pretty little for her age, but she is surprisingly strong and quite relentless.  She is so curious and loves to explore, which often leads to a lot of messes.  She loves to play at the kitchen sink and run the water. She is so cute and therefore gets away with everything.  She's so talkative. Fluent in Metuli jibber jabber.  She looooves her baby sister and always wants to help care for her.  She is Aljay's little shadow and best buddy. She is vibrant and full of life.  She has the cutest crazy head of curls....
