This is a little late, but who's surprised?
She has a new noise! While we were in Oregon she started blowing raspberries while making this face:
she hasn't been doing it as much now but it was her favorite thing to do. She can crawl! Not just the army-crawl-scoot thing but like she gets up on her hands and knees and crawls around. This happened for the first time on Tuesday, Jan. 5th. :) and now I'm in trouble! She also pulls herself up into standing position. She's still working on sitting back down and she usually just falls roughly on her bum, occasionally on er face.

She's still working on sitting back down and she usually just falls roughly on her bum, occasionally on er face. She learned "Grandpa" and "Mama" while we were in Oregon but she doesn't say Grandpa now that we're back in Hawaii and she only says Mama when she's really mad and needs something. 😂
She loves listening to Jimmy Fallon and the Ragtime Gals, and it's the only thing to calm her down besides "No Matter Where You Are" by Us the Duo. I have to find something that works as well but is more appropriate before she can talk. 😬
I have yet to leave her with anyone but my mom (or Ho'oulu, of course) and the longest I've ever been away was about 4 hours (I saw Star Wars: the Force Awakens with my siblings over Christmas so she was with my mom then). I know I sound like a worry wart but I also feel bad because everyone has their own lives and nobody wants a screaming baby for the night. I've had a lot of people offer but I'm afraid she'll be a total pill for them! And okay, maybe I'll miss her a little... 😂
She loves water! It's so fun to see her drink from a big girl bottle/soppy cup. 
She loves Gerber Puffs and squash baby food, not a fan of green beans or carrots.
She still doesn't sleep through the night and it's really hard to get her to sleep anywhere but our bed, but she's finally started to like the pack 'n' play when she's awake and will play for a little while in it (as long as I'm in the room), so I'm hoping this is the start of the path to get her sleeping alone.
She's a smiley, busy little girl and she makes friends everywhere we go! We're so blessed!
