A Day at Grandmas

Sol is a big hit around these parts, our family hasnt had a baby for a long time so everyone is enjoying him, especially the youngest kids. Here is Emily showing off a toy that she thought he would have great interset in...godzilla

...Nancy didnt think that was a good idea

Emi is a good cousin, here she is teaching sol the piano

Isnt there a striking resemblence between tommy and sol, i think you can definetly tell they are related. Tommy was so cute he loved sol, I think he is glad to finally have another boy in the family.

Sol is has the hardest time staying still, so getting dressed is the worst. He screams and kicks and trys desperatly to get out of your grasp. At night was the worst cause he is tired and everything making him more cranky. One day the guitar was sitting on the bed and he discovered how to play it and I was able to dress him. Now its a daily routine.

Happy Halloween!

For Halloween this year Seth and I were pirates and Sol was Peter Pan. However, as the night went on Sol turned into a bear. For dinner we went to a mall and did some trick or treating in doors, but something about indoor trick or treating just didnt feel right so after a couple stores we came home and went around the neighboorhood. Because it was so cold I changed Sol into a teddy bear, he was so cute!

PETER PAN HAS BEEN CAPTURED!

Family Adventures

Spending time with the family is one thing I really miss when I am in Hawaii so we have been taking advantage of it while we are here. On Sunday we had a big birthday/halloween/meet Sol party. It was really fun, Sol enjoyed spending time with his Great Great Grandma Gladys.

Seth and I tried to introduce the art of pumpkin carving to Sol. Seth got really into it breaking out the sketch pad and everything before even touching the pumkin. Sol and I finished carving ours before Seth even got started. As you can see also, Sol has started to stand! I cant believe how fast he is growing.

Last week we took Sol to the Space Needle. It was so fun, we at lunch at the top where they have this beautiful resturant that overlooks Seattle. Sol was a bit irreverant for such a fancy place(yelling and dumping over glasses) but besides that he did very well.

First time Popsicle Encounter

Home at Last

So the summer is finally over and Seth is done working! Because work ended in such an odd time in the year( middle of the school year), we decided to stay with my family in Washington for the winter until school starts up in January. It is so nice being home, Sol is loving it too, especially because he seems to have made two new best friends. Ruby seems very protective of Sol and is very gentle with him, howver Nola is another story. I think she thinks that Sol is taking all the attention away from her. She leaves the room whenever he comes in and whenever he trys to pet her or talk to her she will turn around and face her back to him. What a diva! But Sol doesnt seem to get the hint and still thinks of her as a friend. Here are some pictures of them getting aquainted. These are just for you Marni!



See how cute Ruby is with her, she gives him kisses ever so gently on the nose. very precious

Sol has finally mastered the art of sitting up on his own. Here he is displaying his talent.

One morning, Seth and I decided to make a music video with Sol, he played the part of a ninja. The video is not done yet but here is a sneak peak of the outfit.

We try to go to the pool everyday, there is not much to do in Texas...

Sol likes to wake up at 6:30 every morning. We have tried everything to make him sleep in, like keeping him up late or not letting him have as many naps. But nothing works, he is always ready for the day as soon as the sun rises. And when Sol wakes up we all have to get up, as you can see from the video.Talking to Grandma on the phone

Captiva Island

Seth took these pictures, isnt he good. I was so proud of him when I saw them. On Sunday we took a drive to Captiva Island, I have no idea where it is except that it took 3 hours. It was so fun to be together as a family and just relax. Sol had a great time as you could see. There were so many more cute photos of him but I still have not got him a bathing suit and my dad told me its not a good idea to expose him that much on the internet so I refrained from putting the rest up. I hope you are proud of me dad...
