Walking...well sort of

with his push walker. He started this on Sunday and loved it so much he got frustrated. Poor thing is getting over being sick and was so over tired. It's still fun to watch him take a few steps.

Father's Day Weekend

We had a great weekend to celebrate Adam's first father's day. You know how Adam celebrates...in weekends!

Saturday we went to see the Pirates of the Caribbean ship that is currently being repaired after being dry docked for a while. Then as part of Adam's father's day gift, I got his hair cut at my fancy salon. He was totally due for a new style. He looks great! Then we had dinner with some friends (forgot to take pictures).



Sunday was father's day so we woke early. I made breakfast for Adam. We showered and headed out for the day. Since Ashton was feeling a bit under the weather we decided the beach was not the best place to take him. We ended up going to La Marina for lunch, then headed over to the 'Mighty Mo' for some tourist action, then Pearlridge mall so that Adam could exchange the shorts Ashton got him for fathers day. We finished off the day by BBQing steaks and king crab legs.


Adam got lots of fun things for fathers day. He got a new backpack, some surf shorts, a few t-shirts, some Big Island cookies, and this:

10 months!

I just can't believe how fast my little baby boy is growing.

Ashton can now:
Give kisses
Crawl all over the place
Starting to cruise
Still does not like to eat solids. He'd rather have a bottle of BM.
Says, da, ba-ba, doog (meaning dog), and he tries to say butterfly.
When I mention certain itmes he knows, he will look at them where ever they may be in the room (basketball, butterfly toy)
Still does not sleep though the night. But did nap in the pack and play at Tutu's today.
Still is bed sharing with me (and I love it)
Loves to swim and loves his surfboard.
Ashton has started to slow down on the weight gain (I think since he is all over the place) so he is still fitting into his 12-18 month old clothing and wears a size 3-4 diaper

He kisses me!

I just had to share....I can now ask Ashton for a kiss and he opens his mouth wide open and comes close for a nice big ole wet kiss on the lips! It is the cutest thing ever!

King Kamehameha Parade

Today we enjoyed a parade to celebrate King Kamehameha. Ashton was such a good boy! He sat my lap the entire time just taking in all the sites. He loved the horses and marching band. He also enjoyed the cheerleaders:-P

50th State Fair

What a blast. It is so fun to see all the firsts though Ashton's eyes. He gets so excited and it makes me so excited. I keep saying this, but each month is even better! Here are a few photos from our day at the fair. Ashton rode his first ride. He did great but wanted me to hold him after a few spins on the carousel.

Bon Festival

One of the many reason we love living in Hawaii is the culture. Since we've been hermit crabs the past 9 months, we finally are trying to get out and do more as a family. So when Adam noticed that there was a Bon Festival not to far from out house, we figured we'd check it out.

It was fun. I actually ran into a co-worker who participates in the festival as a singer.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but from what I understand the Bon Festival is a Japanese Buddhist festival full of music and dancing to honor the deceased, yummy food and crafts. Click here if you'd like to know more. (correct me if I am wrong)

Here are a few photos. Adam loved the sound of the drum and watching all that danced.
