We're Back!

What a fun trip I had to Maui! I was constantly on the go! I had lots of visitors and got to see so many places...




I got to hang out with Kelcie, Sammy and Jay one night. They are my distant cousins (Nana and their Dad are cousins).








One day, Daddy and Uncle Dean went diving. Mommy, Nana and Great Grams took me to the aquarium. It wasn't quite like the Monterey Bay Aquarium, but it was just as much fun and there sure were lots of cool fish!




















I also got to meet Brandon and Jasmyn for the first time. They came over to visit me and brought me some cool books!





Uncle Dean and Auntie Nichole took the day off of work... (and Uncle Mike already had the day off)... so we all went to check out the goat dairy farm! It was interesting! I got to feed the goats and Mommy and Daddy tried some goat cheese!



















Just like Daddy, I love the water! I had the best time running around that the beach. Daddy also built me a little sand castle to play with.













I also had a great time having dinner and hanging out with Grandpa Gilbert, Grandma Colleen, and Auntie Ash.









I was happy that I got to spend lots of time with Nana G, Papa Ron and Great Grams! Thank you guys so much for all the great food and taking care of me!

I miss everyone so much! I can't wait until I get to go back for New Year's!!!

Fun in Maui

We have been so busy over here! Mommy hasn't had a chance to post any pictures until now...












On our first day, we went oama fishing. Daddy caught lots of them. I didn't get to try fishing yet, but I got to hold the oama! It was so slimy and wiggly!



I wasn't afraid of the fish... so Daddy also let me play with a baby gecko! I picked it up and tried to show Mommy, but she just screamed and ran away from me!

















Nana Gail hosted a get together so that I could see everyone. I got to meet my friend Naomi for the first time! Uncle Dean said that I get to take her to the Maui High prom when we are older. I can't wait!












I love the beach so much! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to stay out long... the Maui sun is too strong for my creamy white skin! Hopefully I will get to go one more time before we leave.














That's all for now! Mommy will try to post more pictures soon!

Getting closer...

Mommy has been trying to get a good video of me feeding myself. There are good days and there are bad days. Today was just okay... but it was the first time Mommy was able to film my feeding (normally when she tries... it's one of the bad days!)

I still have a ways to go until I am flying completely solo during feedings... but I am definitely getting closer!

A Whole New World

Today I had a sleep over at Nama and Papa's house while Mommy and Daddy went to see my cousins perform in "Aladdin." (Nama and Papa went to see them perform yesterday).


Here is a picture of all of them in thier costumes.






Mommy also took a video of Brenley (who played Jasmine) singing "A Whole New World." Doesn't she sound amazing?!!!

The Germ Pit


Today Mommy and I went to the mall and she let me go into the germ infested play area (or as Auntie Deb calls it, the "mall petri dish").

Despite Mommy cringing that I had to walk around barefoot, I had fun running around climbing on everything. I hope I get to go there again some day... but not sure how likely that is!

Busy Day!

It was a busy day between visiting Maile and going to Auntie Kimi's and Uncle Tim's for a bbq. (With all the excitement, I could only take a 45 minute nap!)


I was so excited to see Lexie and Lauren as well as meeting Trevor (who is almost 7 weeks old). Thanks so much for having us over Auntie Kimi and Uncle Tim!

Meeting Maile

This weekend I got to meet Maile, who is a little over a week old. Unfortunately, her twin sister, Melia, is still in the hospital. The doctors would like her stay there until she gains more weight.








I wanted to see Maile up close, so I kept trying to get to her. Mommy had to hold me back and Auntie Jenica had to block me off with her leg to keep me from getting too close! I can be such an aggressive little boy sometimes!

I look forward to meeting Melia soon!

Weekend with Cade

I got to see my friend Cade on both Saturday AND Sunday!













On Saturday we went swimming with our Daddies. Our Mommies relaxed in the shade. After swimming, we shared some apple snacks.








On Sunday Cade (and Uncle Larry and Auntie Charla) came over to hang out. We are both getting to be big boys and we really enjoy playing with each other!

Watch me dance!

Today at My Gym they played the song "Heart of Glass" by Blondie. I got all excited and started dancing during the class! We came home and Mommy played the song again for me and I immediately started dancing!

More fun with Lana & Lia

We went to the park for a picnic with Lana, Lia and Auntie Stef again today. I enjoyed walking around with Lia and getting kisses from her!










There were other girls at the park... Lana and Lia went over to talk to them. Being the nosey guy I am, of course I had to see what they were talking about!

Monterey Bay Aquarium















Today we went with Nama, Auntie Mich, Uncle Todd and my cousins to the aquarium. I saw tons of fish, penguins, otters... and of course got to see Daddy's favorite... the big ahi tank!













As usual, I have to try and eat everything! I walked around pretending to eat all the jellyfish. I am so silly!

More words

I am finally starting to say more words!!!

For some reason, I am very selective at what words I chose to repeat when Mommy and Daddy ask me to say them. Here are just some of the words that I decided to say... (I'm also working on animal sounds too!)



It has been hard for Mommy to film me lately... I started trying to climb on her towards the end of the video!

Picnic with Lana & Lia


Today Mommy and I had a picnic with Lana, Lia and Auntie Stef. I was in heaven with all the great snacks that Lana and Lia shared with me! I ate so much and had a great time!

Breakfast at Hobees


Today we met to have breakfast at Hobees with some friends. I loved running around with all the other kids!















We tried to take some group pictures. They turned out much better than I thought they would! Unfortunately, the first bench we sat on had sun shining in our faces. We moved to another bench, but we were all focused on Auntie Deb singing to us... we wanted to jump up and dance with her!

I can't wait to see everyone again!

County Fair

Today we decided to check out the county fair to see what fun was in store there for us. Uncle Darrell and Connor joined us. Unfortunately, this was the first year they didn't have any rides! They didn't have any games either! Yikes! All they had were animals. We got to see rabbits, turkeys, goats, pigs, sheep, and cows.
