climbing

these gates can't hold me for long!

these boots were made for walking

while mom was off island i did the cutest thing. i put on dad's work boots. i won't put on my cowboy boots but i loved dad's boots. ain't i just the cutest when i do stuff like this. mom was just glad dad remembered to take photos while she was gone for the week!

paniolo parade

yesterday was the paniolo parade here in waimea. it was my first parade. it was so much fun. there were tons of horses and people all dressed up. then we went to the park and had mochiko chicken (which is awesome), shaved ice, and potato mac salad (my fav). mom said i ate more food then her. we all got a little bit burned but of course mom got the worst of it. i was already better this morning. mom looks like a raccoon. which i'm not to sure what a raccoon is since we don't have any on the island. i hear it a little like a kitty. but crazy. i had so much fun and it was even more fun that uncle brad came too.

Shoes

So kaija likes shoes as i'm sure i've told everyone. but now when you tell her to go get her shoes she gets them and then sits in your lap so you can put them on for her. she even picks out the matching shoe. it's too cute.

big girl breakfast

today i wanted to be a big girl and eat my breakfast at the table instead of my highchair. i did a great job mom says. i'm getting so old.

boat

dad thought it was an awesome idea to put my old bath tub inside the bath tub to make a boat. he was right. he knows how to make bath time so much fun! i love my daddy!

big girl bath

so last night i got a big girl bath. i used the whole tub. i had so much fun!

2nd haircut

so mommy and daddy decided it was time for another haircut. my hair was always in my face so mom decided to give me bangs. auntie layne agreed. i squirmed a lot and had to get myhaircut in two segments to get it done but auntie was real nice about it. i got my bangs cut first then i went home for a nap and came back to get the rest of my haircut. then mom and dad treated me to a quesadilla. it was totally worth the haircut to get the quesadilla. i love those things.

mom's new place

This is the view from mom's office. not too shabby. that is the famous royal hawaiian hotel that you see. It's the original waikiki hotel.

this is the view from mom's new place in waikiki. she is only four blocks from her work. so that is awesome. the place is the size of a dorm room single though. so it's a little like college mom says. i guess i'll figure out what that means later.

mom's new job

for all of those who follow the blog mom wants to apologize for the lack of updates. She got a new job in Waikiki, which she is loving, but that doesn't allow for much picture taking. So daddy is supposed to take over for mommy but so far we've only got one new photo up. so just work with us while we make this transition. Thanks everyone for the love and we'll post soon.

walking the dog

Look closely and you will see i'm holding rosie's leash. she is such a good dog to let me walk her. i love my puppy.

yet another new trick

I like to mimic mom and dad but this just crack mom up.

new stroller

so for a little while now i've been trying to push my stroller so today mom got me a stroller to push that is just my size. i LOVE it. i've been having a blast all day with it.

15 month check up

so i had quite the check up yesterday. a shot in each leg and a tb test in one arm and blood drawn from the other arm. it was not a good day for me plus is was really hot and a worked up quite a sweat while having this all done.

but i'm healthy as usual. I was 31 inches long and weighed 24 pounds 5 ounces. so well on my way to being a big girl.

the doctor took me off of cow's milk though. so now i have to drink bean juice as my mom calls it. that's soy milk to all of those who don't quite get mom's weird sense of humor. So now no more cheese which i love. mom went to look at the veggie cheese for me but it had cassein in it which is in cows milk so that's a no no. go fig. mom will figure it out for me. she always does.
