Intermission From Hawaii

A quick intermission from the Hawaiian pictures for Daddy since he had to go out of town and Mommy thinks he would like to see what his girl was up to today. I went to my friend Emme's birthday party at a place called My Gym and had a blast.


Parachute fun:
Playing in a tunnel:
Songs and puppets:

A whole slice of pizza. I found a creative way to eat it without it folding on me. (Mommy and Daddy usually cut it up in smaller pieces for me.)
Bubbles, bubbles everywhere!
Fun climbing up and sliding down the slide:
Hugging the birthday girl:
And a few videos for fun:


Earlier in the morning, I emptied a tissue pack out of Mommy's purse and found that it is fun to rip the pieces using my toes (or Mommy's toes):


Fun at the party:

Aloha Hawaii! (Part I)

We recently spent a week enjoying Maui and just relaxing together. We had lots of fun and wished we could have stayed even longer. I loved swimming, seeing all the sealife, and just hanging out with Mommy and Daddy. We took LOTS of pictures, so Mommy had to go through and pick her favorites (you can tell by the number here that she had trouble narrowing pictures down!) So, Mommy will have to do a couple blog posts to share all the pictures she wants!

On the plane, play-doh was lots of fun! (3/7)

Ready to go! (3/8)

With my beach ball:

Come on in, the water's fine!

Wheeeeeeeeee! (Mommy and Daddy's favorite picture from the trip!)

I loved the water wings! (Mommy doesn't know why the picture keeps loading sideways)

I was so tired from all my swimming that I did not move when Daddy put me in the crib to sleep for my nap!

Ready to go sightseeing:

On top of Haleakala (it was windy and cold up there!):

Super baby!

In front of a blowhole (3/9):

At Aloha Mixed Plate, where we enjoyed eating several times:

Lots of snuggle time! I am a true Snuggle Bunny! (3/10)

On a boat to go whale watching and snorkeling:

Yummy! It wouldn't be vacation without lots of treats and local ice cream is certainly one delicious treat!

Pre-Easter Fun

Yesterday, Mommy and I went to visit Baby Cousin Olivia. I kept saying how cute she was and I really thought it was neat when she held my finger. I also think her hair is soft and she likes when I do my snakey tongue for her!

Today, I had lots of fun getting ready for Easter. First, I made some Easter baskets out of paper plates just like Mommy used to do when she was little. Then, I made stained glass crosses using shaved crayons and wax paper. Later, my playgroup friends came over and we all dyed Easter eggs, which they took home in my homemade Easter baskets. What a day!

Baby Cousin Is Here!

Baby Cousin is here! Olivia Grace came Saturday night and was 21 inches and weighed 6 lbs. 5 oz. When Uncle Chad sent a picture to Mommy's phone, I told everyone "cute" right away. We got to see her on Sunday and she is very cute!

Here are Auntie Kathleen, Uncle Chad, and Baby Cousin Olivia:

I really like Baby Cousin and here we are with her. I'm showing you my big smile:
