A Day at the Beach

sand

We spent a good part of the day at Zephyr Cove Beach and Janie had a really good time playing in the sand under our tent.  She brought her pail and shovels for some digging and pouring.

She also enjoyed the wet sand and water in her bucket.

Unfortunately, she was still scared of the baby waves at the shore but did a good job not panicking like she did in Hawaii.

I’d say that’s progress!

And because she played right through her noon nap, she passed out for an hour-long nap at the end of the day.

Mommy & Me Day #3

stroller snack

Janie loves having a little snack during our afternoon walk with Koa.  It was rice cakes and honey bunny grahams.  Yum!

She’s such a cutie pie.

pooping

We did, however, have a little hiccup in our evening.  She was trying really hard to poop and needed a little help.  So, I sat her on the toilet and it worked.  She had a GIANT poop.  Hooray!  What a relief.

Only one more day until Daddy returns from his conference in Colorado!

tantrum

She was having so much fun that when it was time to go home, she had a super tantrum.  She cried so hard she almost passed out.  It was pretty scary for Mommy.

Koa made her feel better on the ride home.

What’s wrong?!

Today Janie seemed to LOVE the rice cracker more than usual today.

What’s wrong, baby?!
Answer: She has a new molar growing in the lower right gum! Ah…no wonder.

She also got a second birthday cake but it was getting late when it came time to sing to her.

It was way past her bedtime and she was NOT in the mood to taste any kind of cake at the moment.

After a little downtime, she got her second wind long enough for some family photos.

More Beach

beach with mommy

It’s taken Janie a couple days to get used to the waves here in Maui.  She was brave enough to go out to the water with Mommy this afternoon without a whole lot of crying.

splash

The only time she cried was when the water rushed over her too quickly and splashed her in the face.

The rest of the day was spent playing in the sand under the umbrella.
