7 months

Yes, more pictures of the little stinker. I'm getting a little sad because he's starting to look less and less like an infant, and more like a little boy. I want him to stay this size forever. I think his body doubled in size this past week, he's growing so fast. During his free time, you can find him unplugging cords and sucking on them, ripping up house plants, pulling over the trash can in the kitchen, opening cabinets in the bathroom, and pushing rocking chairs over. I think he is starting to understand the word "no!" now, but he still likes to test me. He is still a cuddle bug and he sure can kiss! He likes to plant little wet ones on me. He says "Da Da" a lot, and he may know what it means because he only says it when Christian is around. We also think that he secretly knows how to talk but he is just holding back, because we thought that we heard him whisper under his breath, "I no kea" the other day (pigeon for I don't care). He knows what's going on.

To celebrate his 7 month birthday, we took him on his first hike. Kevin Hallstrom (friend from our ward) took us on the Kalawahine Trail, up by Round Top Drive.

Can you see the similarity in this picture? (the one with the boys)

We have a little guide book of Oahu and we've decided that we are going to explore something new in that book once a month, just to change it up from our usual surf/beach days on the North Shore. There is so much more to this Island that we need to enjoy. Hopefully we can keep to it.
