why i can't use the flash on my new camera. yet.

these pictures remind me of many pictures i have taken of zach over the years. so maybe it's just a genetic thing?

kaimana on wire.

we rode our bicycles down to golden gardens with kimmy this weekend, and after playing in the sand for a while, we noticed tight-rope walkers that had set up some equipment. they invited kaimana to give it a try!

kaimana at home.

tackle the octopus!

hanging out in the fort. (note: card from his birthday still plays music when opened. 'if you're happy and you know it'.

tackle the chair!

helping mom with quilting. often this means trying to eat the thimble. though usually he just puts the thimble on his thumb and runs his hand back and forth over the quilt.

helping at chores. he's very handy.

let's go surfin' now.

with zach's crazy work schedule, it's hard to get away. but we've decided to make it priority to do our best to get out-of-town once a week. last week we headed out to dungeness spit near sequim and spent some time hiking around on the beach. this week we headed out to westport to catch some waves. the forecast was for partly sunny. the real-time weather was rainy. but i came prepared with a raincoat and puddle-stomping boots for kaimana, along with a picnic and a change of clothes. we had a great time! where will we go next week? i'll let you know.

mark it on the baby calendar!!!

kaimana peed in his toilet for the first time tonight! i'm not pretending that it wasn't pure luck, but before bathtime tonight i had him sit on his baby bjorn potty chair... and voila. i think he was pretty proud of himself. zach and i certainly made quite a show of how proud we were :)
