Been A While...

Sorry it has been over a month since we posted anything! The weather has been beautiful and hot in Hawaii so we go the beach all the time. Opi loves the water and wants to soak in this little bucket when we are at home.

Crayons 24 Hours a Day

Opal is really into using her crayons. She has this little desk that she drags everywhere and her own desk in her room. Good thing the crayons are washable!

Zoo Trip

Our First Garden Harvest

Our first harvest was a success! This is just part of it. We had tatsoi, deer tongue lettuce, carrots, beans and manoa lettuce. Opi ate all the carrots!
Sometimes she even eats the green tops but she won't eat pancakes with syrup at home? Crazy baby!
A bite for Da-Da.

Tub Time

This little crazy baby likes the water so much that she floats on her back in the tub!

The Sun Finally Returned

After a month of clouds, wind and rain, the sun came out and we went straight to the beach.
Opal loves to jump in the pool. If you don't pay attention she will jump on your head.
Opal yells "boat" for every one that sails by.

Our Sturdy Girl

Have any of you ever noticed how thick our child is? Maybe it is due to the constant eating and in this picture, eating on the run!

Best Friends

This "raffe" and baby are Opal's best pals!

We Love Our Garden

We have become obsessed with our garden. We are even planning a container garden and a "square foot garden" at home.
It is so nice to have fresh, organic vegetables around the house.
This is part of our first green bean harvest. We even had enough beans for the restaurant.

Opi thinks this is how you wear a bra. I litterally had to unwind her.

The Groomer

For some reason, this child loves to be groomed. She begs everyday to cut her nails, brush her teeth and clean her ears. In this picture, she ran to the ottoman and laid down, waiting for dave to bring the qtips!

Wee! Opi's New Hangout

Opal has affectionately named the playground "wee". Whenever we see one she yells "wee" and gets excited. Actually the swings are wee but she thinks every playground has swings.
She has awesome technique on her tummy...doesn't look fun to me.
Now that she sees the big kids sitting up, she wants to do it too.
She can climb up the slide and go down by herself too.

Raffes Next to the Park

Right across the street from the park is the Honolulu Zoo. If you look closely in the picture with Opal you can see their heads. She screams "raffe" everytime we see them! So cute.

Kiwi Thief

We have a fruit bowl that was within Opal's reach but she kept running in the living room with different fruits. She is obsessed with "wiwi" (kiwi) and begs you to peel it 10 times a day. Yesterday she had a whole bunch of bananas, day before and onion and potato. The bowl is now on the counter...

We Have a Garden

We just got a plot at the Diamond Head Community Garden.
Opi loves it too, we just planted all our vegetables.
She is clean in these photos, but by the end she is covered in dirt.

More Garden Pics

Opal helps Da-Da, well not really...
We're trying to teach her to stay out of the plot. Very hard to do.
This pinwheel is her contribution to the garden.
The path between the garden plots.

Sunglasses Are Her New Thing

Opi loves to wear sunglasses. These pink ones are from her baby friend, Elle.
And these lovely glasses are from her doll "Bobbi". She thinks they fit!

feeding frenzy

sorry this one is so long, but i just could not find any footage to cut out.

Laying Out

Today was a beautiful Hawaiian winter day. We went down to the Lakes and enjoyed the much needed relaxation. Da-da paddled out for the first time after his surgery and Mama taught Opi to jump into the pool.
