Tsunami --- 2/27/10

Quite scary at first, but we're all right and the tsunami was much smaller than originally predicted.

Here are a few photos of our day:

Makua wondering what we're doing running around packing things

Ashton and I having some good laughs...boy this kid can laugh and I love it! Can he stay at this age forever?!

We like POI!!!

As you can see from the video, Ashton didn't know what to think of poi (I mixed in with a ton of BM to get it really thin). Besides cereals, poi and avocado are the other solids he has finished what I've prepared in his bowl.

6 Month Well Baby Check-Up!

All the nurses just love Ashton. I'm not sure if it's the blond hair and blue eyes or those two pearly whites shinning at them or the rolls on his legs but he gets so much attention;-)
Ashton is already a show off in more ways that one. As I am discussing that Ashton cannot really lift himself...Ashton shows off..yeah..lifts himself right up like he does it all the time and it's his favorite position?!? I've never seen him do that!
Ashton is doing well in all areas. Dr. B said I can feed Ashton solids three times a day (I have only been feeding him solids once a day). Dr. B also put Ashton on fluoride drops once a day since Hawaii dose not contain any fluoride in the local tap water.

Overall it was a great well baby visit. I really like Dr. B. He spend about an hour with us going over all my questions, asking me questions and giving me advise. Oh and the Dr. is guessing based on his stats (HC) that Ashton will most likely be taller than the 5'10" originally though.....looking at 6 feet 1 inch baby!! Wahoo.....a mom can dream right?

Yummy...oatmeal!!

He loves oatmeal...well at least now he does. I took this video about 4 days ago.

We love to jump!

I've been meaning to post this for quite a while...he loves his jumparoo!

Rubber Ducky!

Since Ashton is sitting up on his own, he is getting a little "wild" in his current whale bath tub (trying to look over the side and almost tipping out the side). I know I could easily move the tub from the sink to the bath tub, but we were bored on Sunday, so we headed over to Wal-Mart to check out what they had.
I ended up getting him this:

And he LOVES it!! I think it's okay...I just don't like our tub situation (sliding doors that are so in the way when you are trying to bath a baby).

Here is a quick video of him enjoying his duck tub.

We dislike Green Beans:-(

Check out the short video for proof.
