About Our Beginnings...

Hiro was born January 17th at 12:07 am at Kaiser hospital, 48 hours after the water broke. It was a natural birth, and a very positive experience. Judah was born January 1, 2010 at 1:08 pm 7 hours after the water broke. Judah was delivered at Andaluz Waterbirth center, which was a completely magical experience that we highly recommend to anyone having a normal healthy pregnancy. Malakai was born on December 23, 2011 after three days of inactive labor labor and three hours of active labor (three hours after the water broke). Kai was born at Andaluz as well, this time in "Sienna" the red room. It was a relaxing and delightful way to spend our first Christmas with Malakai.

Fall 2009...September, October, November

November 2009
In November, we got our new camera, long awaited and researched. Thanks to everyone who donated to Nat's Father's Day and Birthday fund...the money was happily spend on our new Cannon. At this point, Hiro can say any word we tell him. He talks in full sentences, sings songs, and loves to climb! He counts to 10 (sometimes forgetting 7 and 8) and sings the ABC's. He's our running commentary of everything that is going on all the time. He does get a little bit shy in large groups, but brightens up as soon as he feels comfortable.

Bath Time!






Hiro talking on his "phone." He loves to walk around the house talking to his relatives.

In November Erin hosted a shower for her dear friend,
Ashley who is expecting her first little girl in January.
Once or twice a week through their whole pregnancies, Ashley and Erin have gone to deep water aerobics together. It's been so much fun sharing all the excitement with someone else!
We can't wait to meet her baby girl!

October 2009

October was a fun month. We went to the pumpkin patch with Auntie Allison Sparrow, Becca, Josh, and MeeAe. We had our annual pumpkin carving party complete with an old fashion apple cider press (Thanks to Tyler!).
Sorry we don't have any pictures of the pumpkin patch or our party.
Best of all, our newest niece, Elliana Aiko Iwata was born.

Elliana shortly after being born.
She is a fighter! She came early due to restricted growth in the uterus.
She spend two weeks in the NICU. She's a very mellow and content baby girl!
While Becca and Josh were in the hospital with Elliana, we got to spend special time with MeeAe.
We took both kids to the zoo on a cold rainy day. They still had a lot of fun!


Halloween 2009
This year was the first year Hiro could get into trick or treating.
He dressed up as a monster (Thank you Auntie Kim for the costume!)
MeeAe went as Dorthy from the Wizard of Oz.
We got to visit our good friends, the Stanley's, Wilson's, and Martin's.
Thanks everybody for the candy!



Here's a video of Hiro playing with Daddy and counting. He's ready for winter!


September 2009
In September we got to take advantage of MeeAe's zoo pass and
took a day trip while the weather was still nice and warm.
We were also able to visit a play group in Vancouver with our friends, Amy and her daughter Brooklyn.
Here is a video of Hiro singing and playing towards the beginning of October.


September is birthday month for the Johnson family! Here's a video clip!
