Bathtime!!

Ella loves her whale tub! And her friends, Buster and the little whale! Looking cute and snuggly afterwards in her towel hoodie she got from auntie Lynne at Mom's work!

Another visit to Giggle Hill!

Look how big I am, facing forward in the Baby Björn now! Not sure how much I liked the swing, but Mom and Dad had fun!

Halloween and other adventures

This was by far the calmest and most quiet halloween for us so far. None of the usual debauchery and the only one to dress up was Ella. Mommy had to work all night and responsible Daddy took his baby home early. She was adorable in her skeleton outfit though, the SkEllaton!
A few weeks ago we visited the pumpkin patch in Kula and Ella dressed up to pose with the pumpkins.
We had the annual pumpkin carving contest at work, but no word yet on what department won. I bet it was us!

By the way, on my first day back at work, I found out that I had won the quarterly Kupa'a awards! I suppose I had been nominated for my efforts in going green, I am still not sure, but very happy about it! My picture is now gracing the wall downstairs for everyone to see. I grew an inch right there!
Ella got a bouncer from Daddy's work, and she's loving it! Daddy is using it to teach her how to skimboard already!

One more of the formerly sleeping beauty!

Ella is awake!!

She smiles now instead of crying when she wakes up in the morning!

And this years contribution to the pumpking carving contest

Haleakala for the 3rd time!!

It was cold! It was rainy! But then came the sun!

Good thing I had my cozy blankie!

Bumbo!

Look at me! I can sit in my new chair! It will be ever so convenient once Mom and Dad start the solids!

And look at the new dress I got from Mommy's work mate!
