Just catching up....

I thought I would post some pictures of Alma just being Alma since we haven't posted anything in a while. She is growing like crazy. We can't believe how much she is talking and engaging us in conversation. She is sweet, fun, opinionated, strong, and absolutely amazing.

She loves to be in the kitchen doing almost anything. She of course loves to "cook" but she also likes doing the dishes and helping clean up.

Lots of birthdays over the last month which mean fun birthday parties.

There have also been a lot of "firsts" around here lately. This may not seem like much to most folks but Alma fell asleep on the couch the other day completely on her own. Our child has never in her whole 2.5 years ever fallen asleep on her own (except in the car). We were both amazed!

Also her first bowl of cornflakes. Alma has never been a big eater but over the last month or so her appetite has really picked up.

We also were gifted bath crayons for the first time. As you can see we all have enjoyed these! Alma loves making these special bath time creations.

Waimanalo Pumpkin Patch 2013

We headed out to Waimanalo today for the annual pumpkin patch.

This takes place at the Waimanalo Country Farm, a family owned operation that is so much fun for kids. Alma really enjoyed the Petting Zoo.

Especially when it came to telling the animals what to do.

She absolutely loved the "cow ride".

And the "hayride" (with no hay) with Mommy and Daddy.

(not actual tractor from hayride but liked the picture)

But this is also where she started to wind down....

Really fun day with our girl.
