Happy Halloween!

Wishing everyone a Happy Halloween from this pretty, little kitty!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy Birthday to my beautiful Momma! Thanks for being here with us on your birthday. Alex sure loves having her Baba here!

10 Months

It has taken so long for me to finally get this post out. Sorry, I have been so busy with taking pictures, working, and my mother visiting. Alex Marie is 10 months old now. She has started standing on her own. She walks with her little pink walker all by herself. She is the funniest little girl. Her laugh is contagious. The sweetest most innocent laugh I have ever heard! She loves to clap and feed herself.

We went to the pumpkin patch today with her Baba so here are some photos of our big 10 month old!

We got one photo of her standing up all by herself!

We had a great time at the Aloun Farms Pumpkin Patch in Kapolei. We scored some fun pumpkins, fed some stinky animals, and drank some fresh lemonade (it was so hot!). Now we are ready to celebrate Alex's first Halloween!

9 months

Alex Marie is 9 months old today. She is all over the place. She crawls, she can pull herself standing on just about anything, and she walks along the couch. I have a feeling she is going to start walking by herself very soon.

She has begun to mimic what Dane and I do. Today, I was saying "Hi!" to her from in the kitchen and she was saying "Hiiii. Hi, Hiiii." She waves hi and bye but sometimes she is a little fickle. Dane also taught her how to high-5. She gets the biggest grin on her face.

She is such a talker. And a lover. It is amazing to watch her little brain work and feat problems like a foot gap between her standing on the couch and her pink, walker toy behind her that she desperately wants to bang on.

Ciao Bella!

This weekend I had the pleasure of snapping some shots of little Miss Bella. Here are a few of my favorites:

8 months

Alex Marie is 8 months old today. She has 7 teeth, and what looks like 3 more joining soon. She loves to talk saying things like "Mommomom" and "Dadada" and "Mmyaaa." She is extremely close to crawling but loves to stand up tall and straight. She has extremely strong legs. She loves peas, the beach, and her mommy and daddy. She loves to nap on her Tutu Gloria's shoulder while Mom is at work and she really enjoys whacking things with her wild, flailing arms. She also enjoys going on dates with Pooh.... (Mom supervises of course!)

DIY: Curtain Rods

This DIY project was thought up because our new house is covered in windows. We literally have 7 windows in our front room alone! When moving, your money is already spread pretty thin and trying to get some privacy in your new home can be low on your list of things to do. While at the hardware store we realized how expensive a curtain rod can be ($40- just for the rod in the length we needed). So we tried to think up a really cheap and sturdy way to hang our curtains, this is what I came up with:

Just because...

.....she is so damn cute!
