A tradition starts....

.... putting toys together for christmas.

Early Christmas

I love to dance to this crazy music.  This is my awesome christmas present from Oma and Opa.

forget the toy.....

.... give me the box!

Trapped

Dang this force field.

Go daddy go!

i said giddy up daddy! Yeah!!!! this is fun!

yes i'm really standing

more photographic evidence that i'm pulling myself up to standing.  mom was on the phone when she caught me this time.

Yeah Paper!

My new trick is tearing apart mom's magazines.  She said at least this one was parents and not one of her architectural magazines this time.

Standing

Aren't I talented.  The new car seat makes a handy standing object.

Happy Half Birthday to Me!

dad pick out this pretty plant for me.  just keep it away from mom she'll kill it.

why would they torture me with cake when they know I can't have it yet.  maybe in 6 months for my first birthday i can have some.

the real thing

After all that I still managed a couple of Keepers. 

no pictures please!

I was such a pistol yesterday for my six month photos.  Mom drove all the way to Hilo (for those who don't know the Big Island that is and hour and a half away) to sears to get my photos taken but i was having none of that.

Wild Bill

I look just like wild bill hickok!  soon i'll be trick shooting!

ps.  for all those wondering what in the world is that purple.  it's molokai purple sweet potatoes.

pillows and a hanger

I don't know why mom wastes her money on toys.  All I need is a hanger and some pillows and I'm happy!

funtime

polar bear madness

me and pippi!
ain't i cute?

pumpkin patch

I didn't like that whole straw thing.
As long as i was on a lap i was fine.

what's that over there. i've never seen so many people.

playtime

Look at me stand. i'm so talented
yeah!

i love remotes! mom and dad gave me my very own one after i kept turning the tv off.

more toes

Yummy

I love my food. But boy, am i a messy eater. Even autie joe thinks so.

Yummy Becco

Sleepy Time

All that swimming made me wicked tired!

Hotel Bed

Part of the really cool thing about a hotel is this huge bed they have for rolling around in.  I wish mom and dad had one like this at home.

swimming at the pool

I'm so excited i can hardly wait!
I can walk in this stuff.  Way cool!
Dad is so good at helping me in the water.

They had the neatest pool at the hotel.  it was all sand and half salt water and half normal water so it didn't hurt my skin.  and it only got about a foot and a half deep.  So it was perfect for a munchkin like me!  I had so much fun i want to go every weekend to the hotel.

First Hotel

My parents said they need a break from all the work they have been doing so we drove done to the coast and stayed at my first hotel.  I did really well except for waking up twice during the night which i haven't done is ages.  So mom and dad learned a couple of things.  Always have music for me and bring a night light.

This is what it takes to go to a hotel 30 minutes away  for a one night stay with a four month old. HAHAHAHA

Here i am waiting on mom so i can go swimming.  My Sasha cat makes the time go by faster.

This was the view from our hotel room.  Pretty cool?
