growing... growing...15 months

I think all that rain made me grow. I am getting so big. The most substantial growth I have had is my hair. It is getting so long.. still very fine.. but growing and growing! My mom can now put it in a small back ponytail and braid the front! I am just starting to let her play with my hair.. only when I am tired and want to chill though.. then, as soon as she is done.. I like to pull the rubberband out. It makes for a fun game! I am talking alot now also.. I have always been babbling.. but now I can say words. My new words are Thank you.. it actually sounds like, "tank two".. I will count to three ( I mimick these.. of course)... I can say Apple Juice, Milk, eyes, nose, ball, eat, more, circle, boobie (thanks dad for teaching me that one), hair, bath, etc... I am a walking dictionary lately.. it is amazing how fast the words come to me!

Rain Rain.. Go Away!!

Right after I was getting used to the heat and the beach we got hit with 17 straight days of rain. THat is right.. 17 straight days of rain! IT was terrible and my Mom and I were going stir crazy inside. I read a lot of books and worked on throwing fits. We sang a lot of songs and I took a lot of cat naps .. What else is there to do in the rain? Oh.. and I must add... it isn't Southern Cali rain... where a slight drizzle calls for a newsbreak on the local channels...oh no... this is terrential downpour....
Here I am with my rain coat on.. not thrilled

Ahhh.. Okinawa

Once we got back from San Diego.. we started taking advantage of the fact that we live on a Tropical Island. We have spent the last few months at the beach a lot! I really love the water. I love to run up and down the beach and into the waves. I am not a big fan of floating.. I would rather be walking in the water.

Visiting San Diego

Right after my 1st birthday I went to San Diego to visit the rest of my family. The flight was a little rough, but once I got to San Diego and ate real mexican food.. I forgot all about it. I had a great time visiting all of my Mom's friends and seeing my family. I especially liked hanging out with my cousin, Mason. We chased eachother all over the house and up and down the stairs. I took my first steps in Las Vegas while I was visiting my Aunt Maggie, Mo and Mitch!

Happy Birthday Paige

It has been awhile since I have updated, so I am going to dig into my brain and remember some of the great things we have done in the past 4 months! Paige turned 1 on April 2nd! We were so fortunate to have Matt's family visiting us in Okinawa! We spent the weeks traveling around the island and eating lots of yummy food. Paige had her first cupcake and LOVED it!

Okay.. I don't know why 4 of these pictures came up... but oh well... This is Paige on the balcony of the hotel that Meem, Mo and Mitch stayed at.
