Recent Hawaii Trip

Jeff's been working at the Honolulu Plant, we all missed being together, so Liv & I flew out for a visit. Here are some pictures from last week.

Daddy, I can fit in here... Can I come?

Girls playing at the beach/park.

Liv's impromptu high chair.

ok, I understand tying your kid to a chair looks borderline abusive... but seriously, this was the only way to get the food in Liv & not all over the hotel room!

Thanks, Aunt Kim for the great beach outfit!! Liv didn't sunburn all week!!!

here we are watching the sunset from the breakwall at Waikiki Harbor

Did we mention that Liv LOVES to stand and walk? She's pulling herself to standing all on her own now. ...OH BOY!!

And she loved exploring the beach.

Picnic with Daddy on the last day.

Exploring

but she'd rather be standing & walking...

more soon!

On the Move!

CRAWLING!

OMG! Here we go!

I thought I caught a glimpse of this yesterday afternoon & here she is this morning. Still a little uncoordinated, but scarily close. time to put those locks on the cabinets!

And while I'm at it. I have to share this lovely picture of our girl!

What is She Saying?

So obviously, she has something to say!

You may be aware that I've been using some sign language with Liv. The experts claim that babies may start signing back around 7 months old. So, I'm on the lookout!!! But I have to tell you I'm baffled, and its so funny to me to watch her in those last couple frames.

is she trying to communicate something in particular?

is she just noticing her new control & range of motion?

is she totally disgusted with me for not "getting it"?

we'll keep trying ...

Sippy Cup

OK, so this is probably about 7 minutes of trial & error condensed down to 30 seconds for you! It really is fun to watch her learn stuff!!

She's At it Again!

Always good for a giggle!!

At the Beach

So, last night, Liv and I went out to watch the sunset on the beach, and she put her feet in the sand for the first time (that she remembers). As we had already had a bath... I didn't let her get totally into it. but she sure had fun kicking it! ... But today... we walked home from the shop on the beach & I let her explore a little more. enjoy! (she seemed to!)
