Walking machine...

Callie is a walking machine! It really literally happened overnight! She was taking a few steps here and there - and then whoop! Just like that she's walking everywhere now! During thanksgiving dinner she was walking pushing a kiddie chair around - then she picked up the chair and would walk around with the chair in her hands! Kid decides to go 0 to 60! Didn't catch the pic... We've been bad with pics lately - more so bc I think our hands are more watching her in case she falls! So instead here is a pic with her and a toy parrot which ended up scaring her! But oh boy - now it's really time to baby proof!

First time sick!

Callie was sick all last week with roseola! Considering she was just turning 11 months at this time, were actually really fortunate! She had a fever of 102+F and was a zombie all weekend. Luckily, most of our friends babies had gone through this a few months ago so we weren't too worried. But watching your baby miserable is way worse than being sick yourself. Callie was a real trooper though - still managed to give us some smiles throughout. :)

Maui recap part II

Our 2013 family maui trip was pretty jam packed! Here are more highlights:

Thursday: We started the day hanging out at Makena landing beach! Beautiful large beach with plenty if shade! We had plenty of beach chairs and everyone got to enjoy themselves! Callie got to see the ocean and mommy let her wet her feet with the waves. Unfortunately, Callie was a little spooked and whimpered in protest. Bah! What a baby! ;) We took cruised around in a glass bottomed kayak and were able to spot a few sea turtles in turtle town. The uncles and Mike got a little wet with some water gun action and mikes dad even joined in on the fun! Afterwards, we picked up sandwiches at 808 deli (yummers!) and relaxed at the condo before heading out for the luau at the grand wailea. I was so proud if the Costco discount and we enjoyed ourselves! AUCE/AYCD - what more can you ask for ?

Maui recap

Hawaii was a lot of fun! But boy is traveling different with a baby! Here's a recap of our 5 nights in Wailea's Ho'olei resort!
Tuesday: flight with first class upgrades for David and Popo! But still can't beat private cabin experience in back of plane. Baby rental place was disappointing! Forgot about our order - but that's ok, enterprise hook up with large 8 passenger SUV and freer 1 day car seat rental hookup! Ends with humongous loco moco plate in da kitchen and luxurious digs. Bath tub ceiling faucet. Need I say more?

Wednesday : Early start with a drive to the lavender farm with our personal tour guide , Gypsy! (Do the Shaka Mike!) No lavender blooms - but free lavender tea samples make up for it. Culinary organic farm tour at o'o farms with interesting factoids (no compost tea is not for drinking), with gourmet lunch surprise guest - Mr. Fat spider! Farm to table should really be changed to farm to sink to table? 10,000 ft pic at Haleakala is windy, cloudy and chilly! Ended with a nice BBQ dinner in the patio over looking the ocean....

Hula girl

Callie enjoyed her time in Hawaii! Caught her off guard doing the hula dance! Aloha hay - aloha aye...

Callie's first vacation!

Callie is on her first vacation to maui! Mommy and daddy were so proud of how well she did on the plane! We didn't even have to pass out the earplugs/candy goodie bags we made for the other travelers! Prolly because the plane was half empty and folks saw Callie and jumped ship to another row! Which is great for us! Private cabin experience - holla!
