Domesticated

My cousins have a little kitchen set at Nama & Papa's house. I like playing with it... I cook and make sure the cabinets are stocked with plenty of food (or toys)!

Make a note ladies... not only am I a handsome little guy... I am domesticated as well!

Cruisin' at the park

It was a nice afternoon, so Mommy and Daddy took me to the park. I love riding the swing!

Such good buddies

I can tell already that Cade and I are going to be such good friends! We laugh and have fun together. We get along so well... I even let Cade crawl all over me! (I didn't mind... that's what friends are for!)

My friend Connor

I got to meet my friend Connor today! He was born at the end of November. I wanted to go meet him sooner, but I got the sniffles in December... then I headed off to Maui.

This weekend Connor had to go to the hospital! He had gall stones. Poor little guy! Fortunately, he is doing okay. (You can click the link to his blog and see his status!) I have been anxious to meet him, so we decided to go to the hospital to visit. He was asleep the whole time, but that's okay because he can't really play with me just yet. I'm glad that I had the chance to catch up with Auntie Lorna and Uncle Darrell.

Here I come!

I have finally mastered the "army crawl"! I am getting faster and faster each day! I am going to make Mommy and Daddy work hard to keep up with me!

So many visitors!

I feel so special! So many people have come by to see me. Uncle Derek, Auntie Holly and Auntie Lori flew over from Oahu just to see me! I had lunch with them, as well as Mommy, Daddy, Auntie Shayna and Uncle Dean.

I am such a "people person" (just like Daddy!) I enjoy getting to hang out with so many different people!

Beach time

I went to the beach for the first time today! Mommy and Daddy made sure to put lots of sunscreen on me... or else my creamy white skin would burn! I loved playing in the water. Hopefully we will be able to go back one more time before we go back home!

Happy New Year!

First of all... I must say that I am quite proud of myself! Mommy and Daddy were convinced that I would not be able to sleep through the fireworks on New Year's Eve. I proved them wrong! I stayed sound asleep through the whole thing!




Here I am with Auntie Sam. She said I should wear this head piece because they wear them in the Korean soap operas! (This is for Nama and Great Grams, since they both love watching them!)

I am having fun hanging out with Uncle Kory, Nana G, and everyone. I can't believe I still have one more week here to enjoy!

Busy Busy Busy!!!

Here I am on Maui! I am having lots of fun so far! I sure am keeping busy...

Today I got to meet my Great Grandma Takamura. We got to "talk story" for a little while today.

Yesterday I went to my first Mochi Tsuki at the Fujita's house. Here I am with Nana G and Great Grams. I have been having fun hanging out with them... I haven't seen them in so long!

I'm still too little to pound mochi... hopefully I will be able to do it next year! I did get a chance to watch Daddy and Uncle Dean in action pounding the mochi. Looks like hard work!

I have had so many visitors already! So far, I have not suffered from "stranger anxiety" (knock on wood!) I am looking forward to meeting many more friends and family!!!

Getting ready to go!

Mommy and Daddy, I am ready to go on vacation!

I am a little nervous for my flight tomorrow morning. It will be my first time on an airplane. I hope I do okay!

By this time tomorrow I will be in Maui!

Merry Christmas!

What an exciting first Christmas I had! I was overwhelmed with all the presents! So many people mailed presents or stopped by to drop them off at our house. That made my first Christmas so special. I enjoyed opening them... although sometimes I found the boxes more interesting than what was inside!

One of the presents I got was this red car from Nama and Papa. (I love when Papa pushes me around in my cousin's car, which is pink. This one is a little bit more of a masculine color for me!)













Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I sure did!

Waiting for Santa

Tomorrow will be my first Christmas! Mommy and Daddy said that Santa will be bringing me toys because I have been a good boy this year... (Mommy and Daddy say that I am the BEST baby!)

I will have to go to bed soon. I left some milk and cookies for Santa. (I hope he he likes Nutter Butter, because that is all we had!) When I wake up, it will be Christmas!

Visit from Auntie E

Auntie Elise came to see me today. She is visiting from Oahu. She is so funny! She made me laugh the whole time! I can't wait to see her again! (She is moving here in May, so I will get to see her all the time! Yeah!)

Almost there!

I'm so close to crawling! Today I was able to inch my way forward to grab my toy. Do you think I will be crawling before the New Year?

My first visit with Santa

Mommy took me to see Santa for the very first time today! I didn't find him very interesting. As you can tell from the picture... I'm not too thrilled. Who is this guy anyways? Something tells me that I will be more excited to see him when I'm a little older!
