elmo!!

he saw elmo on a package.  

how do i NOT buy it for him, when he is clutching the frozen pizza to his cheek.  (or was it just stuck there because it was so cold??)

"facetiming" on his phone...  

lunch with daddy!

does life get better than that???

or this?  I LOVE THIS BABY BOY.  and his daddy!!!  

he found the stroller for elmo and just pushed him around all morning!

i mean, elmo is like baby crack for him.  he is addicted.  i can get him to stop crying, or do just about anything for elmo!  it's kinda cute...  (and our only elmo dvd is "elmo singing with the stars", which is elmo singing with the likes of sheryl crow, jason mraz, hootie and the blowfish, etc.  it makes it so much more tolerable!

today is hawaii statehood day.  which meant no school!  and a beach day and burgers and shakes for lunch.  it was such a fun morning!  c's trunks were a little big.  and i didn't realize it.  they stayed on just fine till he got wet.  then, they didn't stay on.  when i finally stopped fighting them and just took them off (for our last 5 minutes at the beach), he was so happy!  it was funny to watch him enjoy the nakedness!!  

it was one of those mornings life is made of.  not a cloud in the sky.  three ships leaving and entering the harbor.  a sub.  the f-22's.  the turquoise water.  and friends galore.  people just kept showing up.  kids played.  moms sat and chatted.  i love days like that!  soaking up this sun, before we move off this rock!!!
