hanging out with makena

January 18

Today I got to go over to Makena's house and hang out! My mommy and Auntie Carrie had fun talking and catching up over lunch! I was very fascinated with watching Makena and she was very good at entertaining me! She made me laugh and smile while I was there! She really wanted me to talk and play with her, but unfortunately she'll have to wait another year or so! In the meantime, she'll be busy with her own little sister who will be arriving soon!

That night was bath time again! I hate taking baths, but I love to play in my towels afterwards! Here I am in my new towel from my Maui Grandma and Auntie Traci!

This weekend we went to Tahoe again! The weather was so nice up there! My mommy and daddy tried to capture a picture of me on the saucer in the snow! I only stay in the tripod position for a split second so it was challenging to get a good picture of me by myself! I can't wait to be able to sit and go down a hill in the saucer on my own when I get older!

I got it mommy...

I'm sitting...

oops...I'm falling....

Oh no...

Whoa.. Whoa...

WHOA!!!!

HAA HAA...That was funny!

I'm sitting by myself mommy and daddy!!!

Today my grandma and mommy practiced the 'tripod' position with me! Auntie Lorna told us that it was a good way to work on sitting and a good alternative to tummy time, and she was right! I'm already getting stronger!

Oregon Ducks

January 10th

Well tonite was the BCS championship football game and the Oregon Ducks were in it for the first time ever! We were all excited and Rocky and I got all dressed up in our Oregon gear ready to root on the Ducks!!!
Unfortunately, the Ducks ended up losing, but it was very close and fun to watch ( yes, I watch alot of football with my Daddy). My Daddy was really sad that they didn't win, but there's always next year!

This is my 'thug' look!

Go Ducks!

reaching!

January 9th
I finally coordinated my arms and hands to reach for things! I had been gripping things when my mommy or daddy put something in my hand, and I was able to wave it around, but I was having a hard time actually reaching for anything! Today I finally figured it out and even though it is still slightly uncoordinated and takes me a few trials, I was able to reach and grab objects repeatedly! Now, I just need to figure out what to do with it when I have it in my hands! Right now I keep trying to put it toward my mouth but instead I just hit my face over and over! I'll get it sooner or later!

Here I am holding the toy and flailing it around... btw, what's with my comb over hair do, mom?

These toys don't taste very good, I prefer my thumb!

weekend friends

January 8th
Today my friend Connor, Auntie Lorna and Uncle Darrell came over for lunch! It was nice to see them again! My friend Connor tried to play on our Kinect and did very well and my Auntie Lorna was such a pro at the Dance Central! She made it look so easy! (My mommy disappointingly didn't get a picture of Auntie Lorna showing off her moves!).  We hope they come over again! I think if anything Auntie Lorna will back for more Dance Central!

Later in the evening my friend Damon, Auntie Ashley and Uncle Todd came over for dinner. It was nice to hang out with them! They all had a very yummy dinner and my Auntie and Uncle spoiled my mommy and daddy with some delicious wine! I hope we can all hang out again soon! Thanks Auntie, Uncle and Damon for coming over to join us!
