Saturday started off our first of many birthday parties to come!!!! We went to lunch with Antoines sister, as she turned 11 (YIKES 11!! I remember the day she learned to walk!). Although Noelani always enjoys a good meal, it wasn't a big party. The next day, Sunday, was our first real birthday party. This was for Antoines friends daughter who turned 2.
She had a BLAST....
Enjoying her cookie from her friends birthday party....
Noelani LOVES Elmo...and as soon as she saw the birthday girls balloon, she wanted to grab it!
Every time she eats snacks she wants to share them with Mommy
She looks SO old here!!! My baby is growing up
Antoine took her in the gym to "play" basketball
While we were there, Noelani kept grabbing all of the kids hands saying "come on....watch this....hand". All of the other little kids kept staring at her like "huh? what do you want?!" Finally...this little girl who must have been around 4 years old, walked up and said "hey little girl, want to play with me?" and they ran away hand in hand.
My baby <3
My mom got her this little pumpkin. Noelani is LOVING her pumpkins lately. We have 4 of them in front of our fireplace so far. We are going to *attempt* to carve one tomorrow I think. Wish us luck.
Today, I called Noelani from work, and heard her saying "Turrrrrrrkey, gobble, gobble, gobble" She cracks me up!!! Her favorite thing in the world now is to ask for "High pives" aka high fives and "pounds" (fist pounds).
Noelani's vocabulary is so extensive now that I don't even think I can make up a list! I pulled out her flash cards last night and I'd say she knew 90% of them - even I was shocked!! She can count to 10 on her own, and with a little help gets to 20. We are working on her knowing to tell people she is "2" (can't believe my baby will be 2 in 3 months). She is in LOVE with Minnie and Mickey Mouse. She also loves Princess Tiana and dressing up with jewelry. EVERY morning she asks for bracelets and a necklace - haha!! I just love her soooooooo much. Someday I know she will get sick of my squeezes I constantly give her, so for now, I overload her!
