First steps

The other day, I took a few steps on my own. But then I decided that I was rushing things, maybe I should spend a little more time exploring crawling as a locomotion option. Now when Mommy and Daddy try to get me to walk by myself, I do the smart thing and get back on all fours. Whew!

One more from Thanksgiving

Here I am laughing it up with Ellie and Emma, my second cousins. They are so much fun!

I found Nemo

After spending some quality time with family, I went to EPCOT at Disney. My favorite ride was The Seas with Nemo and Friends. After the fun ride, there's a real aquarium to visit. And of course, you know how I love to look at fish.

Happy Thanksgiving

I sure am thankful for a lot of things, especially all this food!

C'mon, Mommy!

After my time at the playground, Mommy insists on cleaning the sand off my hands. The things I put up with...

All aboard!

I rode the steam train at the zoo with Papi and Mimi. We played "Where's Daddy?" as we went around!

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!
