Tree

Here I am climbing my first tree with cousin Emma. We had a little help from Nonie and Aunt Michelle, of course.

Halloween in the air

I wore my costume on the plane, since we were flying home all day Wednesday. I'm a unicorn, and a pegasus, too!

Gotcha

Daddy took so many pictures of me at the beach, I tried to grab the camera. Darn those paparazzi!

Thanks Gramalicia!

Gramalicia came out to Hawaii to take care of me while Daddy and Mommy worked. It was awesome- she took me to the swimming pool and playground, and she taught me how to play with leaves, too!

The Gang

Here we are enjoying a brief break from work. Daddy, Mommy and the rest of Just Passing Through are working hard on their big event. Jesse's not here in Hawaii, but he's working hard, too!

Homer thirsty

I thought Daddy's Homer Simpson slipper looked hungry, so I fed him some toys. Then I tried to wash it down with a drink from my water cup. Mmm...

Big Island Hike

Here I am with Martin, hiking across the a'a lava. It's so bright, I need my sunglasses!

My growing vocabulary

There are a few words I've really gotten down. I know what they mean, can pronounce them correctly, and use them without any prompting. They include Dada, bye bye, ahh (after drinking a beverage) and hiya.
I also know a lot of words that I say consistently, but not perfectly. For example, Mama, book, hat, up, down, out, and shoe.
I know a lot more words, too, but I'm keeping those to myself for now!

Enjoying my pool

Here I am with Mommy at my very own swimming pool. Living in Hawaii has its perks!

Hawaiian sand

I'm not quite sure what Daddy was up to here, but it sure was exciting!

Visit from Daylen

Daddy's cousin Daylen came to visit me in San Francisco earlier this week. She's so cool-- she calls me "Siege" and gives me butter knives.

Finally, some control

After many, many attempts to get the remote control (not sure what it's for but I know I want it!), I was finally presented with my own remote. Awesome.

Spoon!

Last weekend I went to the zoo with Nonie and Doc, rode the train, petted the goats and fed the ducks. But my favorite part was getting this great spoon from the cafe. Isn't it the greatest spoon you've ever seen? I wouldn't put it down all day. I took it home and still play with it all the time!

The Handoff

I like to pick things up and give them to other people. Mommy and Daddy will take just about anything-- pine needles, Cheerios, small pieces of chewed up paper or whatever I can find in the rug. Seriously, they're more fun than a trash can!

Keep Tahoe Blue

Last weekend I went to Lake Tahoe. The water wasn't cold, but I didn't really like putting my feet in. I would rather play in the sand. Of course, I've already made my feelings on sand quite clear. Love it!
