We Love Vacation!...continued

Whenever we're home we have to go to our favorite beach.

Aunty Ava had this tube which was perfect. Her little butt fit perfectly in the puka (hole). As you can see, Na'u was just kickin back with legs crossed, completely content with licking the salt water from her face.

We always take goofy pictures. I think it's funnier to look at these than the serious ones. Ava didn't know what to do though.

My dad put an opihi shell over his eye and Na'u was very interested in it. She kept trying to grab it.

I love going home because I get to relax. We were at home for 8 days, and of those days, I think I gave Na'u 2 baths. Papa Ipo would make her water, bathe her and let her play until she was done. Sometimes she would even get extra play time in the middle of the day.


Here Na'u is trying to put this shoe on. She walked over there on her own (with the help of Aunty Ena) and kept trying to put her foot in. At least we can see that she knows where it goes.

We found these little clips and put her hair up in pig tails. She was born with an old man head so now that her hair is growing out, only the hair on either side of her head is long enough to do this to. I think she looks more like a girl so hopefully people won't mistake her for a boy anymore.

Na'u learned a lot of things while we were home. Now when SHE wants to go walking (on her own two feet with assistance) she'll crawl over to someone, grab their fingers and scream, demanding you stand up. She then proceeds to walk (pretty fast considering her age) holding on to your fingers. Na'u has a head of her own cause she knows exactly where she wants to go. If you try to derail her direction, she twists her little body and whines until she gets what she wants.

Here is another thing that she picked up. Enjoy!

We had so much fun going home. Our next trip will be in a few weeks for my brother's farewell. Keola was called to serve the people of Denver, Colorado and reports to the MTC on October 8. We are so excited for him yet sad that he'll be gone. He sure does makes us laugh and is always so generous. Good luck and we love you Uncle Ola!
