4 Months Old

On October 16, I turned 4 months old. I visited the doctor again. I usually don't mind, but this time she gave me two shots . . . ouch!

I am presently weighing in at 14.6 lbs. and 26.5 inches long.

Let me show you how big I'm getting . . .
A little bit closer . . .

PERFECT!!!

GO PHILLIES!

Go Phillies - beat Tampa Bay!









Eat 'em up!

My trip to Maui

On Columbus Day weekend we went to Maui. We drove on a long road called "the road to Hana." After a long drive, we arrived at the Hotel Hana - I liked our room . . . especially the bed.

I could get used to this! Where are mom and dad sleeping?






We also went on a hike to a 400 foot waterfall. Along the hike we saw


big trees; a bamboo forest;






the Hana coast;




and finally, the waterfall!





I LOVED the waterfall!









After the hike, I needed a little R&R.

A refreshing swim and lounging by the pool.

We are home now and I am gearing up for my first Halloween. I have a party and parade at daycare and then trick or treating in Kailua. See you later . . .

I enjoy long walks on the beach . . .

I want to share with you one of my FAVORITE activities . . . long walks on Kailua Beach. At least one night a week we take a walk on the beach in our town.



I usually test out the water - with a little assistance of course.

I told Mommy that I was ready to dive in on my own, but she insisted on holding my hands - oh jeez!
I guess that I kind of like the attention . . . sshh, don't tell Mommy or Daddy!

Arizona!!


Shortly after Daddy arrived home, we took a trip to Arizona. Mommy had to work so Daddy and I hung out A LOT!! Unfortunately, because it was just me and Daddy, I don't have many pictures to share with you. Here's one of me, though, in my first hotel room.

Luckily it wasn't all business and Mommy was able to sight see a bit too. We went to Sedona - WOW!

It was beautiful, but HOT. We spent the day walking around . . . well, I wasn't walking, Daddy carried me. I enjoyed my first apple festival where I saw an orchard and barn where the apples are sorted. We also enjoyed the "live entertainment," which turned out to be a hillbilly band. Their encore performance included a rendition of "Sweet Home Alabama" where they hummed the hit, clearly having forgotten the words.

It was a great day, but by the afternoon I was totally worn out and needed a nap!

Reunion with Daddy!



After a LONG summer for Mommy taking care of everything around the house Daddy finally stopped playing around with his friends and decided to come home and help out a little around the house. Here is a picture of our first encounter.

It is nice to have Dad around. I now have two people waiting on me hand and foot. Not a bad life, especially in Hawaii. I highly suggest it to everyone.

Things have been much better around here since Daddy returned and I have gotten to get out around the island a little and experience some different things. With Dad around to carry all my beach gear Mom finally got to take me to the beach and introduce me to the Ocean. Here is a picture of my first day at the beach at the Ko Olina Resort and my sporty "Elmer Fud" hat!

As you can see by my expression in the picture the jury is still out on this hat but Mommy likes it and since I can't dress myself yet I will have to roll with it.

I am just starting to catch up on the adventures and learning how to use my hands so I will take it slow for now. I will update more soon......
