Unbelievably, our little Pa'a is now 5 months old. Although he is mostly the same easy going baby that we brought home from the hospital back in June, his sweet little personality and his strength and abilities are definitely beginning to show. 
Kupa'a is definitely becoming more active. He loves to grab his toes and roll around. No, not roll over, just roll around, and around, and around. 
And chomping on his hands can still keep him occupied for quite a while. 
He loves to sit and stand, and especially to stand in his bouncer and play with the toys. (While Ola's favorite bouncer toy was the frog, Kupa'a's is the sun. He spends much of his time trying to eat it.)
He is also very, very strong for such a little guy. He is quite fond of mauling mommy when she tries to kiss his cheek. And once he gets a hold of your face or your hair...prepare for a struggle, cause he won't let go! 
But he is still such a happy baby. He loves to snuggle; loves to nap on his tummy; loves sweet potatoes; wants to sit in your lap when he eats; squeals when he's getting tired or bored; splashes like a mad man in the bathtub; laughs when you wash under his neck; is very ticklish; and adores his brother.
And while all of these things make me smile and count my blessings, my favorite is probably the smile he saves for his daddy. When Aho comes home from work, he's always bombarded by Waiola and Hiwa. But once he's said his hellos to those two, he finds his little Kupa'a and sings..."Hi Kupaka boy! Hi Kupaka boy! Hi Kupak, Hi Kupak, Hi Kupaka boy!" (Kupaka...because that's what Ola calls his brother. And if I could remember what the tune is, I'd tell you...but I can't). But when Daddy sings, and his face lights up, that is probably the sweetest thing about him.
I love this little boy head to toe...all 5 months of him.
