This is Grandad Savaiinaea, he loves this little girl, seriously she loves him back just as much. He works from about 2pm till midnight so he takes the mornings with Hinalei and will always give her a kiss before he leaves for work. She will not cry at all if she is with grandpa, and if she is still awake when he gets home she see him and wants to go straight to him. Grandpa takes her on walks, teachs her lots of things about the outside and always reads her lots of books.
This is Nana Savaiinaea who in my opinion is the best chef in all of California and deserves her own restuarant, I haven't cooked in 2 weeks and I don't want to either because I love everything she makes and as she says "Will diet when I get home" She loves to take Hinalei on car rides with her and buys her the nicest outfits which mum appreciates so much! Hinalei loves to give nana kisses but unfortunately also likes to pull nanas hair.

Aunty AhSheVonne is the solid feeder, she can hold onto Hinalei while feeding her her solids at the same time. She loves to put Hinalei in the air so she can fly around and around. Hinalei also loves to go to the waterpark with Aunty AhSheVonne because she is the only one besides mum and dad that can take her in the water!

This is Uncle Karlton, he loves to play video games with Joe and so they are often not with the baby but he always gives her kisses when he gets home from school and won't say NO to holding her if he is asked.

Faaniniva is biasly my favorite little girl, from the moment she meet Hinalei she has loved her and taken care of her. She is six years old with the caring capabilties of a mother, no less than six times she has rocked Hinalei to sleep and to record has not dropped her once. Others find it annoying that she hangs around them just waiting to hold Hinalei again but I find it so beautiful especially after two weeks that she has not waned in her affection. I know she is going to have a really tough time saying goodbye when the time comes. She waits quietly while Hinalei sleeps and even puts up a fuss about going to school because she doesn't want to be away from Hinalei so we have taken to walking to pick them up so she can push Hinalei home in the stroller. She is just one choice little helper.

Coralee is the youngest of the Savaiinaea family and therefore makes me laugh the most, giving me insight into what it will be like in a few short years with Hinalei. Ever the character she can get quite jealous of Hinalei being with grandpa and loves to say "DADDY! I am your baby!" and then proceeds to sit with Grandpa while he is holding Hinalei. As you can tell Hinalei and Coralee could very well past for siblings and while Coralee may be a little jealous she too loves to hang with Hinalei and constantly makes me smile when I tell her it is time for Hinalei to eat, she says "She is not eating! She is drinking!" (Breastfeeding)
We are loving our time here in California, from the 5 minute drive to Walmart, having my first experience at Kohls or simply eating 3rd helpings of mums cooking I know this is a vacation I am not looking forward to finishing.
