My cousin B's visit

My cousin is only 3 months older than me, so we have been having so much fun playing together!

I think our Dads are having just as much fun playing as us!

Suki has really enjoyed B's visit - Her new favorite place in the house is under the highchair. (I think B was having just as much throwing his food down to the dog, as she was having eating it up).

Auntie Marci with the 'twins'. Apparently if you walk around with two kids that look the same age everyone assumes they are twins. After explaining to several people that stoped us to commented on how cute the twins are, that they are actually cousins, my Mom decided it was easier to just agree that her twins are cute, aren't they?

I even got to be the flower girl for my for a couple of my Mom & Dad's friends that got married yesterday. (Unfortunately, I ended up eating so many of the flowers, my job as flower girl was quickly revoked)

My mom broke her foot a couple weeks ago, so I have been extra good lately, so she doesn't have to work too hard.

I recently learned how to walk around while holding onto the furniture, but B just mastered walking without any furniture! I think I'll try that soon too.

Video time...

Don't worry, Suki wont hurt a hair on my head. In fact one of my favorite things to do these days is chase her around the house, and once I catch up to her I either pull her tail or try to chew on her foot - She promptly growels, which makes me laugh & she takes off to try to find a place in the house I can't get to her. (Not many places left these days that I can't get to her, I summited the stairs today!)

I got lots of great new toys for Christmas; ones that play music, ones that I pull apart & put back together, little ones, big ones, ones with wheels, ones with strings...but it turns out that a $2.99 bag of tortilla chips is more fun than all my piles of colorful toys. :)

Mele Kalikimaka!

Christmas is awesome! Mom & Dad kept telling me that my first Christmas was coming and I was going to have so much fun... and I did!!!

I got my first taste of present opening on Christmas eve, and was hooked!

I just loved all the crunchy paper & boxes! My Mom & Dad kept trying to show me what was in the boxes, but I didn't really care when I had a perfectly good cardboard box to play with!

Thanks Coco for the fun toy & outfit! I especially loved this box :)I have to admit, I am little spoiled, see all those presents under the tree...most of them were for me, but Suki had a few under there too.Thanks Nana & Pappy for all the fun toys & ornaments :)We celebrated with our Maui Ohana by having a 'Mexican Christmas' feast.After the feast we decided to go burn some calories at the beach... As you can see, I was feeling pretty mischievous, just wait & see what I do...After consuming at least a pound of sand with my Buddie 'T'....And after a little surfing session (There is T only 16 months old standing by himself waiting for the waves)...I spent the morning crawling (face first) all over the beach! It was so much fun, I even liked it when my Dad dunked me in the ocean to rinse off the sand....which I promptly reapplied the moment my Mom put me down to crawl again.But oh how tired I was after all that sun, water & fun. lucky for me I can just fall asleep whenever or wherever I am, and I wake up clean, dry and snuggled up in my pink bed!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

Night Night

One of my very favorite times is when I get to go take a bath, put on my pajamas, drink some warm milk and crawl into bed!

How I love to torture my parents by wiggling and wriggling all over the place so that is is almost impossible to get my PJ's on me!

Lets do it again... I'm not tired yet!!!

Happy Halloween

Halloween is a pretty cool holiday! My mom dressed me up like a pumpkin, which everyone thought was a good idea since my head is round & bald like a pumpkinI even went trick or treating with my friend Travis. We only hit a few houses, but got tonz of candy...Dad liked that part!

Speeking of Dad, when he gets home from work I love to give him a big hug, but then I saw Suki giving him kisses with her tongue, so I thought I should give it a try. Kinda salty & scratchy, I think I wil stick to normal kisses.

Suki, however, loves to kiss anyone that will let her get away with it. (You will notice Mom isn't in any of these photos... I think she thinks dog kisses are grose!)
Look at me jump!!! (These videos are for you Dad, so you remember how cute I am, and come back home soon. We miss you)

Look how I have grown!!!

At my 4 month doctors appointment several weeks ago I got my height and weight measured... It turns out that I am a litlle bigger than my peers (good thing my cousins are big too, or I might be a little self conscious)!
I weighed in at about 18 pounds, well off the growth chart for my age of 4 months.
And I was measured to be 26 1/2 inches long, I guess it's good that i've got some height to go with my weight :)Since then I have seen & tried a bunch of new things...Take my feet for example, Look how cool they are, I just found them, and they are my new favorite toy. I hold them while I sleep, and play with them all day, and have even figured out what fun they are to stick in my mouth. I love these things!I am so grown up, my mom even lets me feed myself these days. Dad chose this super cool cup for me, and when I saw it, I knew it must be mine; I grabed it with both hands and stuck it right in my mouth. Yumm!

I even got to try some rice cerial a couple days ago. I got it all over everything, and really had fun spitting it out, Idon't think I swallowed any but I sure had a good time.

Daddys house!

It was so much fun to arrive in Connecticut! My Nana & Pappy met me at the Airport, and once we got home I got to meet my Auntie Jen & Uncle Jerry. They all liked me so much, and had so many fun toys to play with I didn't want to go to sleep, even though it was after midnight! I got to meet my Auntie Katie & only cousin on my Dads side, Caleb the next day at Caleb's birthday party.

We had so much fun in Connecticut, after a week in Utah (and even a drive through Idaho) I thought I had seen it all, but we had so many adventures on the East Coast, I dont know where to begin.

A hike through the woods with the whole family...we even saw a bunch of snakes & turtles in the ponds in the forest.

Then I got to go meet Pappy...well Dads Pappy, so I call him Pappy Pappy. Here we are all four generations. I am even named after Pappy Pappy's wife Cecilia.

He has a really fun house because it is right on the ocean. The Atlantic is really cold compared to the Pacific that I swim in back home in Maui.

Me & Nana had so much fun out there, My cousin Caleb was finding sea shells on the beach, I can't wait 'till I'm big enough to dig in the sand with him!

Nana & Pappy even threw a whole party for me where I got to meet all my Dads family. They gave me so many cute outfits and gifts, my parents really had to work to get our luggage closed for our trip back home!

We went to Road Island one day for a boat show. Daddy wanted to see this engine room, so asked the nice old owner if he could go in and check it out, the owner said that someone needed to take a picture, he has been on and around boats his whole life, and has never seen a infant in the engine room...He has never met my Dad!

My Friend Carys (dressed like a dalmation dog) showing off her sidewalk chalk skills to me

We even went to Massachuttes one day with Uncle Jerry & Auntie Jen. I didn't even get scared at the witch museums in Salem.

Me & Caleb!

Thanks Nana & Pappy for such a fun visit! I can't wait to see you again, I might even be walking by then.
