Our little cruiser

Here's a shot of our gal cruising around the kitchen. She spends about half of her play time vertical looking for something to walk around. She is really quite good and has gained a lot of balance and dexterity. This morning she cruised around half the kitchen and was very, very interested in cabinet doors and drawers. We're not too worried yet because she still needs some help to get over to the danger areas but I can see the day coming (soon) when we're going to have to lash all unstowed gear to the deck and set circle william on all fittings throughout the ship.
Momma is worried she is going to knock on knot on her pretty little noggin while cruisin' around so she knitted Momoka a cute little hat. The little towel secures the knitted noggin proctector onto baby's melon. Works good and just like in the the picture in a previous post - the towel that made Momochan look like Mozart - is all about baby safety.
Gotta love Momma.

Don't you just love this t-shirt?

The t-shirt says "This is what a Japanese princess looks like". Momoka is our little princess for sure. Sorry for the blurry picture but Momoka wouldn't stand still. We were in a restaurant called "Anna Miller's" on Kamehameha Hwy and it was busy so Momoka had too much people watching going on to stand still. If you're ever in town stop by there and have a slice of macadamia nut pie - tasty.

Happy Halloween!

Here's some photos of our gal in her Halloween costume. She was so cute. The little Pooh suit was just adorable and made her little cheeks look even chubbier than they normally do. The bad part about living in Hawaii is a cute little costume like this turns out to be a cute little sauna costume after a few minutes. This would have been great some place with cooler weather.

Momoka loved looking out at all the trick or treaters as they stopped by. It was great to see so many happy little faces. The kids on our post were so nice to Momoka and had such great manners. Momma and I had so much fun watching the baby's reactions and talking to the little ones.

It's hard to believe our gal will be ten months old soon. Thanksgiving, JJ and BB's visit, Christmas, New Year and then our gal's birthday. Busy, busy, busy.

Please remember 11 November is Veteran's Day. Take some time to think about the sacrifices our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guarsdmen make for us as they stand the watch around the globe keeping us safe and free. Please keep them and their families in your thoughts and prayers as we head into this very special holiday season. Mahalo.
