Fun at My Gym

We took Bianca to My Gym again on Friday. Last time she was there she wasn't feeling very well but, this time she had a great time! She was able to do summersauts on the high bars, play in the bin of balls, ride on the swing and the zip-line and lot of other fun activities. I kept thinking she was going to cry when I handed her off to one of the My Gym workers or when she was doing new things, like the summersaults and the zip-line but, she proved me wrong. I need to give her more credit! Tina and CJ were there as well and the kids had fun playing together. Take a look...

Bianca on the zip-line... still very observant and serious in classic Bianca form...

Fun on the swing!

Maui

We had a fantastic trip to Maui! The weather was great, only a few small showers in the morning. Bianca did really well on the plane, only one minor meltdown on the flight from Honolulu to Maui because she was so tired and could not fall asleep. We were really thankful for that! We were up with Bianca pretty early each morning so we took advantage of the cool temperatures and went on long walks. She LOVED being in the Baby Bjorn and we definitely got our money's worth out of it on this trip. The resort was amazingly beautiful and there were lots of great trails for hiking. After her morning naps, we either went to the pool or the beach. She enjoyed the kiddie pool so much at the Ritz Carlton that I think she would have stayed in there all day if we let her. The water at the beach, she wasn't so sure about... I think it was a little cool for her and she was skeptical of the waves. We also drove into Napili one day for Maui Tacos and went the next day to Lahaina for some more yummy Mexican food at Cilantro's. We both agreed that we had some of the best Mexican food that we had in a long time. We then spent some time on Front Street shopping for Bianca (of course!). All in all, we had a lot of fun getting to spend time together in paradise. Mark is already planning for us to go back next year!

Bianca's first flight!

Bianca loved the kiddie pool so much!

It's Good to Be 6 Months Old

Bianca turned 6 months old earlier this month and she has been having a blast ever since. She has spent time hanging out with Carrera, she was able to visit with the Degen twins (but was only able to take pictures with Maya because Sophia was sleeping most of the time), she spent quality time with her Daddy on Father's Day in her "Dont' Ya Wish Your Daddy Was Dreamy Like Mine?" onesie, and she has been having a wonderful time visiting with her Grandparents over the past week. Oh yah, she also went to My Gym for the first time on Friday. I will try to take some pictures of her there next time we go.

She went to the doctor's office earlier this month for her 6-month check-up and she weighed 15 lbs. 3 ounces (45% percentile), she was 25.5 inches long (50% percentile) and her little peanut head was still in the 10% percentile. The poor thing has had a cold for the past couple of days but, we are trying our best to get rid of it before our Maui trip.

Little Crawler

Bianca has been doing a slow crawl for the past few weeks. She is getting faster and faster everyday and we know she is going to just take off soon so we have started baby-proofing the house. Here is a small peek at our little crawler.

Bianca's BFF

The Molinos came to visit us and they brough along Bianca's new BFF, Kennedy. She is just the sweetest baby girl! Can you believe all that hair and those eyes! The dads were hard at work but, we had a lot of fun just having some girl time. Aunt Traci stopped by to visit us and to get her baby girl fix in for the day.

The daughters Traci never had - wanna babysit Aunt Traci?

Best friends forever!

Hey, Kennedy, which boy do you want to call next before our dads get home?

Sitting Pretty

Bianca has been sitting on her own for a couple of weeks now so we thought we would post a couple of pictures to show off her new skills. Thanks to Aunt Marisa for the adorable green dress!
