… doesn’t mean I don’t get around! And I literally mean “a round”…

We've started falling into a pretty rigid schedule - right after I eat dinner, it's bath time! I tell mommy we should try the other way around some time, but for some reason she doesn't think that will work...
Mommy says I look like daddy when I eat. I haven't really noticed butternut squash in his eyebrow, but maybe I'm missing something...

They say the first step to overcoming something is admitting it. A few weeks ago I was getting all fancy by holding my own bottle and eating solid foods – basically, telling my mommy that I was moving on. Well, I’m ready to say that I haven’t quite mastered this whole eating thing and I still need my mommy’s help. Luckily, she is more than happy to help me out … after she takes a quick video to make sure I don’t forget!

Yay! My daddy's home!
I came home from playing with Hannah and Megan today and there was a big surprise waiting for me – my daddy was back home! Yay!
I should probably back up a bit. Last week my daddy was not feeling well. He had a bad cold. Even though he needed to stay away from me, I still tried to make him feel better from afar. Unfortunately, on Thursday while I was over at Hannah’s, my daddy’s doctor called and told him he needed to go the hospital for some tests. Well, my daddy went and then they kept him (how rude, right?). I wasn’t allowed to visit because I’m too young. We video chatted on the computer a few times, but it just wasn’t the same. I really missed my daddy. He had to stay at the hospital the whole weekend and Monday too. They finally let him come home today.
He told me he is feeling much better. He said he still needs to be careful around me – no kisses for the time being (which totally stinks!) – but just having him in the same room is MUCH better. As soon as I saw him, I gave him one of my big ol’ smiles, just so he knew how much I missed him. He gave me a big hug and now we are back to being buddies again. So happy to have my daddy home!
(Dad note: Sorry this is the first many of you are hearing of this. Kind of took us by surprise and I didn’t want to post until we knew what was going on. Some tests my doctor gave me indicated my liver was acting abnormally and that’s what ended up sending me to the hospital. The liver levels were still high through the weekend and thus, I had to stay and let them monitor me. They still don’t know 100% what is wrong, but the leading guess is something called CMV. Apparently it is all over the place and most people are exposed by the time they are my age, but a small percentage are not and it can cause the symptoms I was having. I guess one way to think of it is its like a mono-type virus. I’ll need to take it easy for a little while and keep getting tests to make sure everything is recovering as it should – but it is really good to be home. I was away from Maile for 5.5 days – the longest I ever have been. I’m convinced she gained about 5 pounds and grew 5 inches while I was gone! I think just having her around will help me get better…)
Daddy, I'm going to take good care of you - no more disappearing to the hospital for you!
I missed you too, Maile girl, very, very good to be home!

Over the past week, mommy has introduced me to two new types of food – or as I like to think of them, colors to play with! Green peas and orange carrots. I think Peas are my favorite food so far – and despite the pictures below, I am starting to get more and more into my actual mouth!
Focused on crafting my latest carrot masterpiece...
Just you try to get those peas in my mouth - I challenge thee!
I'm thinking of starting a green goatee trend, thoughts?
Eating time is so much fun!

… you know what that means – party time!
Hi daddy, thank you for coming home to play with me!
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Remember that time you did this and I had just eaten? Haha, that was funny. (Dad note: no it wasn't.)
I love you, daddy. I love you too, Maile girl.

Last night I was getting ready for bed when all of a sudden the door bell rang and this man in a suit appeared. Who was the man in the suit? My cousin Jason! How fun is that?
Yes, I'm in shock - I had no idea my cousin Jason was coming to see me!
Jason said he was in town on “business” – awfully nice of his company to fly him in just to see me. And very sweet of him to dress up for the occassion!
In fact, I was so excited to see Jason, I decided to treat him to one of my “firsts”. Future Maile trivia alert – when Jason put out his hand for a high five, I reached out and slapped it! Yep, cousin Jason can lay claim to my first official high five – daddy certified it and everything.
Give me some skin!
Your hands are soft, mind if I eat this index finger right here?
Thanks for coming to visit cousin Jason!

Remember when I got a Wills for Hanukkah? Well, guess what? Yesterday, for my half birthday, mommy and daddy got me a Hannah!
(Dad note: We’re working with Maile to explain that technically Hannah isn’t “hers” – Hannah is Maile’s friend and we are doing a nanny share. So 4 days a week, Hannah will be coming over to the house and Megan (our nanny) will be watching both girls.)
I’m pretty excited that I’ll be getting to spend more time with Hannah – she’s exactly one month younger than me (her birthday is August 11th). I have a feeling we are going to do all types of fun things together in the months ahead. It will be a little hard to share all my toys with her – but daddy says it will be a good lesson for me.

I'm just going to chill over here and drink my milk. Cool?

I’m feeling much better!
I told my mommy this morning, "Hey, I'm feeling much better - hook me up with a cute outfit!"
