A Night of Firsts...

Tonight Noelani scooted and rolled to get where she wanted to go...It's on...Let the baby proofing begin!!! She was so proud of herself for being able to pick up a toy that she wanted all by herself. She also clapped her hands for the first time (and actually knew she was doing it)!! I can't believe she's going to be crawling already...seems like she was just born yesterday.

I'm posting a video that is kind of long so I apologize in advance but it is cute nonetheless.

Noelani and I have been spending the sunny afternoons at the park. She loves to swing and kicks her little legs like crazy. We haven't done the slide yet...we'll have to work up to that. :)

Happy Valentines Day!!

The holidays (doesn't matter which one) are so much more fun when you have a little one!! Noelani got a few books and a little stuffed dog for Valentine's Day...she also got about a million kisses!! Ray sent me the most beautiful bouquet of Tulips and Gerber Daisies on Friday (I'll take a picture and post it here tomorrow as I left them on my desk so they'd bring me more happiness on Monday)...he even had them delivered to the office which just made my day!! As the FedEx man arrived I was sitting with my receptionist and she immediately asked who the lucky lady was....I said whoever it is their Man just got major brownie points in my book! Low and behold when the driver read the name on the card it was ME!! I was shocked and so so happy!!
On Saturday Noelani and I ran a few errands (she went through her first carwash) and then we were invited to Ray's work (Piccolo's) to eat dinner - Since Ray was working he still wanted to be able to cook for me! I had a great dinner and Noelani behaved like a little Angel while we were there. She loved being able to go back next to the Kitchen and watch Daddy tossing pizza dough in the air and cooking!! We all got spoiled on Valentine's Day...it will definitely be one to remember. Noelani got her first pair of sunglasses and I thought how ironic it was that in this picture of her with the sticker still on the lenses that reads "Shatterproof".

Thank you Grandma and Papa for the Valentines Day Cards! We love and miss you and can't wait for you to come home!!!

Noelani loves her toes!!!

So Noelani has finally discovered her toes!! Here are a few pictures of her trying to put her big toe in her mouth!!
She tries so hard to get her foot into her mouth...she's so funny!! She's going to hate me for this video when she's older but I just can't resist posting it!!

I love seeing her personality develop before my eyes!!!

Noelani is 8 Months Old - Already!!

I cannot believe how fast time has flown...Noelani turned 8 months old this past week! We've had a busy few weeks...we had Ray's parents come into town for a visit and as always it was great to see them (I kicked myself all weekend because I forgot the camera every time we saw them). My Mom was also in town for a few weeks so Noelani and I went and visited her for a few hours too...it was the first time Noelani had met her other Grandparents. She's so blessed to have so many wonderful Grandparents that love her!! Below are a few pictures of the visit with my Mom and her husband Lou. Noelani has also started to eat Rice Krispies and Cheerios with her breakfast in the morning. She's got the cheerios down but is still struggling to pick up the Rice Krispies...She cracks me up!!
Noelani love to play with her soccer ball and basketball...below are a few pictures of her playing with the ball. She hasn't started crawling yet but I believe it's just around the corner. Look out world... One of Noe's favorite TV shows is Little Einsteins...she doesn't really watch it but the song that plays at the beginning of the show always gets her excited...she even has her very own Rocket just like in the TV show and as you can see she loves it!! She's actually starting to scoot on it...She's quite strong!! This past weekend Noelani and I went to Bainbridge Island to see Auntie Tamera and the kids and we had a great time. The sun made an appearance so we decided to take the kids out for a stroll through Winslow. It's so much fun to see the girls together...just jabbering away. Noelani kept trying to give Teia hugs and kisses...Teia wasn't having it really but it sure was funny. Teia is crawling all over the place!!! It's so fun to see them becoming best friends! Teia had on Spencer's hat and I thought that was pretty cute so of course here are a few pictures of her!!
