playing with cousins.

only tiana can remind me how to correctly use the terms "second-cousins" and "cousins-once-removed".  in either case, kaimana had a great time today playing with the nelson girls up at their nana's house in mill creek.  there was playground time, lunch time, trampoline time, even pool time!  thanks for playing with us eva and maia!

eva (2.9 yrs) gets ready to slide.

kaimana (11 mo) and maia (1.5 yr) take a moment to chill.

my little boy.

i've been thinking about it for a couple days.  ever since i noticed a hair in kaimana's mouth while he was eating one meal or another and found that it was a hair still stuck to his head.  i'm forever brushing it out of his eyeballs, and today he starting pulling on it.  hair-cut time.  we did it this evening before bathtime and kaimana, while doing his best to grab the scissors and comb out of my hands, was a champ.  not one tear.  (not from mommy or daddy either.)  and now he really looks like our little boy.  11 months old.  wowza.

beach house fun!

this past weekend, we had a great time visiting with our hendrickson friends out in west seattle.  it's fun to see kaimana starting to interact with other kids!

daniel (1 yr) and kaimana (11 mo) show the daddies how to REALLY play in the sand!

fun on the fourth!

we spent a nice long weekend in spokane over the 4th of july weekend.  caught up with family, went sailing, went swimming, spent lots of time outdoors!  oh, and worked on a jigsaw puzzle, tie-dyed some shirts, and found the perfect playground for kaimana.  here's a slideshow of our trip (note:  though i managed to take many pictures, they only revolve around a few events.  somehow i didn't take any pictures of kaimana swimming : (  other family members did, however, and i'll try to post some copies soon!)
