Progress with Signing

Shana is not much of a talker yet, but she can tell us what she wants by signing. She is pretty bossy I have to say.

The words Shana can sign are
milk
more
daddy (She learned this sign before she learned to sign mommy. This made Dada's day.)
yummy
phone
bath
night night
drink
eat
hungry
mommy

I think I need to study more signs myself. My sign language vocabulary is not much bigger than what she already knows.

Growing Hair

Shana's hair is growing pretty quickly. When she had very little hair, it felt like it wasn't growing fast enough, but now it feels like the opposite. So last weekend we bought our lady a hair clip with a fancy bow. She looks adorable but I tell you those things are expensive....

Shana's first car

Yes, I admit that I am not a big plastic toy lover but this pink car is entirely a different matter. It was a gift from Shana's grandparents in Ireland for her first birthday. We call it Booboo, which means a car in Japanese, well at least that's what Japanese babies say. When I ask our lady if she wants to ride in her Booboo, she gets very excited and crawls over to her booboo. We go for a spin around the house and then outside. The Booboo rocks!

Teething Update

Shana has 4 teeth now, 2 top and 2 bottom. She has been biting everything, anything, and everybody. Here she was biting Auntie Suzanne's finger.
We can see 4 more coming. They are coming pretty fast, considering she had none just a month ago!

Birthday Dinner

Daddy took Shana and Mommy to Mama's Fish House, a gorgeous seafood restaurant in Maui.
Shana tried banana ice cream for the first time but didn't like it. It was probably too cold.
This is a dessert that we will not forget. The black pearl made of chocolate moose was sitting in seashell-shaped cookies. Shana's first taste of chocolate...yummy...

Wedding in Maui

Shana wore a yellow flower in her hair for Auntie Suzanne and Uncle Hide's wedding. Mommy and Daddy was so busy entertaining the lady and forgot to take pictures of the beautiful bride. Well, we know that the photographer took a lot of pictures, so we will wait for those photos.

Lots of Naps

Being in the water and playing on the beach totally tired Shana out.

Off to Maui

The flight to Maui was pretty smooth. The plane was empty, so we got to use 8 seats!
