Before we all went our separate ways, we got the whole gang together for some photos.  Here are the two babies, Peanut and Maya, who are 4 months apart.

One more afternoon

For our last afternoon in Hawaii, Janie had another dip in the pool and also played in the sand and water one more time at the beach.

When she was all done, she washed her feet in the showers at the pool and has become an expert at rinsing her feet without getting scared.

She and Auntie Krissy shared the spray together.

Then she hung out with Auntie Krissy at the lawn.  The hotel beach towels are pretty comfy!

The cabana chairs are super comfy too.  This kid knows these reserved ones have the squishy cushions on them.

Janie also went out to the sidewalk to see what everyone was staring at.

She had just seen them in the aquarium and now was seeing them in the ocean!!  Lucky girl!!

Janie also had fun playing with the hammock.

Magic Island

Auntie Yoon threw a big BBQ today. Janie slept on our walk to Ala Moana Beach Park and woke up in time to play with everyone.

We also had a breakthrough today at Magic Island Beach. Janie actually played in the water and sand and enjoyed it!

This girl was just loving the water and sand.

Lunch included lots of noodles and Portuguese sausage.

She also played with Keenan and Andrew.

Later that evening, Janie slept through the Post-BBQ/Pre-Wedding Celebration at Uncle Bo’s but woke up for a little karaoke. When she couldn’t take the noise anymore, she looked at me and said “all done”. We were home by 11:30.

Pool Day

20140427-080335.jpg

We rented a cabana by the pool for the day and Janie had so much fun. In the morning, we had almost the whole pool to ourselves. This is her in the toddler pool. It’s only 1 1/2 ft deep.

20140427-080458.jpg

Here she is in the bigger pool with Daddy.

20140427-080719.jpg

This kid is having such a fun time here in Hawaii.

20140427-080851.jpg

Her favorite game is walking along the edge of the wading area and having a grown up follow her from the deeper side.

20140427-081152.jpg

After lunch and a nap, Janie invited her friends over to the cabana for some fun by the pool. She played with Uncle Roy, Auntie Holly, and Andrew. She took turns with Andrew in going through the tunnel slide.

20140427-081459.jpg

Then they chilled out on the pool chairs. Boy, these toddlers have it good.

20140427-081626.jpg

It certainly was an epic pool day for Janie.

20140427-081734.jpg

She fell on Daddy’s chest at sunset, slept through dinner again, and didn’t wake up until morning.

Wednesday afternoon

Janie had ramen for lunch and loved it.

20140424-103750.jpgShe said hello to Mr. Ocean but was still not sure of him. There weren’t any tears but she still didn’t touch the water.
20140425-055622.jpgJanie also tried out the pool and that was a hit – especially the 1/2-foot wading area.
20140424-103931.jpgShe tried to join us for dinner but fell asleep. It was 10 pm PST after all.

Late Night

IMG_4668

We celebrated Daddy’s upcoming birthday tonight at the same place she had her birthday dinner.

IMG_4669

Despite having no nap and some grouchiness, she did rather well.

IMG_4671

We got home pretty late and thought she’d pass out but then she stayed up to play with Uncle Dayantha and Auntie Krissy when they came over to visit.  She finally went to bed at 10 and was fine the next day.
