Mom's group

These babies are all 8 or 9 months old (Leo is the youngest, at 7 months). I love how they all have something in their mouths!

Beets

Leo is Seven Months Old! (belated)

I didn't have the patience to type much on the ipad during our Hawaii trip, so here is Leo's seven month update:

Leo is seven months old! He really loves to be on the go, and we think he'll be crawling pretty soon. He loves to pull himself up to standing on furniture (or us), and I think he' stand up all day if he could! His favorite toys are not toys at all - he loves anything that we are playing with - glasses of juice, remote controls, phones, etc. Our trick is to play with his toy first so he gets excited about it!

Leo has been sleeping really well - a 1.5 hour nap in the morning, and 10-12 hours at night. He is still in our room, but we are in the process of converting our big storage closet into his bedroom. There should be just enough room for his crib and changing table, plus a cosy reading nook on the floor. Now we just have to figure out what to do with all of the stuff we've stored in there...

Leo loves to eat! His favorite foods are yogurt, pears, and mangoes. He loved pineapple and papaya on our Hawaii trip. He isn't such a huge fan of veggies; we usually have to mix them in with fruit to disguise them.

Leo has gotten even more smiley! I wonder how long his grin will be toothless - he is teething even more madly these days.

Home safe!

Here's Leo after the 5 hour plane flight and past his bedtime. A miracle!

Hawaii Day 7

Pictured: more snorkeling at Tunnels, hiking on the Napali Coast trail (we took the exact same photo by the trailhead 10 years ago!), Leo playing in the condo in the setting sun.

Hawaii Day 6

Pictured: our first group photo at Hanalei Beach, more fun swimming and drying off at 'Anini Beach, Hanalei Valley view, best sunset yet!

Pictured (again, totally out of order, Blogger!): shave ice!, hanging out at the condo, more fun at 'Anini Beach, another pretty sunset (this time with stand-up paddle surfer and birds).
