Oz

It's official. Ivan and I are going to be spending the summer in the Gold Coast of Australia for three months doing Stomp at the Juniper Casino. The Lolos are going to be meeting us there once Lola has her Philippine Passport situated.

I can't believe I am coming out of retirement. So weird to to be thinking about doing the show again with a kid. I am very excited and overwhelmed at the same time. Ivan and I will have to find a baby sitter when we get there and I a little nervous about leaving with him with non-family members. Yikes!

We had to expedite 9's passport ($195!!). Here is passport picture. How cute is he??? More posts to come about our birthday weekend and our trip to Disneyland with my Bests!

Play

It's been interesting to watch Nainoa's playtime evolve. Although he does still parallel play at playground, he loves playing with us at home. He'll yell " Mommy! Come here!" when he wants me to shoot some hoops with him. Lately he loves me chasing him. He'll ask with a huge come get me smile, "Chase you?" He can't quite get the "you", "me" thing yet. He is getting into pretend play now. He'll pretend to cook macaroni and cheese, or "gapes, strawberry, corn." (always in that order) I love that he is using imagination. We finally started to let him watch Yo Gabba Gabba. His favorite episode is the one starring Jack Black. Nainoa loves to put on his helmet (beanie) and his goggles and pretend he's Jack Black riding his motorcycle in Gabba land. Too cute.

Where's 9?

Who needs toys?

On our last day in Hawaii all Nainoa needed was Popo's dog bed and a few hair ties to keep him happy. I love it when it is just that simple.
