A Recap of January 2010

Since Mommy's having a hard time keeping up with the blog these days, here's a recap so far:

January 2010 was a busy one for us:

* Cousins Steph, Mike, and the kids Jake and Jaslynn were here for 3 weeks visiting from Seattle. Mom was so busy with her two jobs and yoga, that we only had them over once for dinner, went out to pizza with them another time, and we got to celebrate Jas' 2nd birthday at the Pagoda Hotel (where I had to go shirtless since I was itchy). Jas will probably be 3 the next time we see them since they'll be adding another baby boy to the Daily family this summer. The day they left, I got to say bye to them before I went to preschool. I gave Jas a hug and I gave Jake a high five. Can't wait to see my only first cousins again!

* Mommy's good friends Joel and Sonyei got married. Even though they all went to high school together, they weren't in the same crowds. They actually reconnected at my 1st birthday lu'au! So, I guess I've got good matchmaking skills! They're also expecting a little one this Fall.

* We went to my classmate Pililani's 3rd birthday at Magic Island. I looked for crabs, played in the water, and jumped in the bouncer. Mommy and Daddy were just hungry the entire time.

* We hung out with baby Coby and friends at the pool.

* We met up with cousin Doreen and her friend Sean who were on their first visit to Hawai'i. We ate some yummy Thai food (where I leaked through my diaper and had to wear swim pants because Mommy didn't have any extra shorts for me in the car) and then got ice cream at Bubbie's. I loved the ice cream!

* Mommy and Daddy went to the "LOST" series premiere at Sunset on the Beach with Kai and Jason. They were excited to see the stars walk down the red carpet, debrief about the final season, and have an adult night out.

* Aika had her 1st birthday party at the Discovery Center. I can't believe Taiga's little sister is 1 already! (and Auntie Miya has another one on the way due in the Fall) We had fun exploring the exhibits. Although there were a bunch of boys there, the parents called me the super mellow one as all the boys are so wild, and I just sat quietly and held on tight to the merry-go-round.

Coming up in February:

...Punahou Carnival...Dad's friends Jason and Avon and Baby Reagan come into town from Seattle...Mommy & Daddy celebrate their 3rd anniversary...Daddy's birthday...

I am 2 Years & 7 Months Old!

My Favorite Things These Days:


I am still a Mommy's boy and always tell Mommy that I miss her. I still want Mommy to do everything....bathe me, read to me, put me on the potty, change me, but Daddy ends up doing a lot of it.

My Funny Conversations:


I like to argue with people. The other day, Dad was taking me to Nana's and Pop's house. Dad said, "Look, Chase, there's a stop sign. The letters say 'S', 'T', 'O', 'P'."


I told Dad, "Those aren't letters. They're numbers!"


We went back and forth on this, and finally, I said, "Dad, we're arguing!"


Dad said, "No, we're having a discussion."


I said, "No, we're arguing!"


My Favorite Books These Days:


I really like these Kumon workbooks Mommy got me. I have fun tracing and practicing cutting on the lines.


I've gotten some favorite books to read while I sit on the potty, too.
I like Eric Carle's Head to Toe and 101 Dalmations. I like doing the actions in Head to Toe. I'll say, "Can you do it?"..."I can do it!"


And of course, I still love to recite Chicka Chicka Boom Boom!

"Don't sit on the job!"

As we were all rushing out of the house this morning, Daddy asked me to put on my shoes. I sat down by the door to put on my crocs with the Dumbo and the zebra Jibbitz on them. I guess I was taking too long because Daddy said, "Come on. Don't sit on the job!"

I told him, "I don't want to sit on the job! I want to stand on the job!"

I guess Mommy and Daddy found that funny because they both had smiles on their faces as we rushed up the stairs.

We're excited for Steph and Mike and cousins Jake and Jaslynn to arrive from Seattle this week. I can't wait to play with my cousins at the beach!

Let the New Year (Shopping) Begin!

After yoga this morning, Mommy decided to spend some of her xmas money and get some new outfits for yoga. Daddy went mountain biking in Waimanalo today, so mom picked me up and took me to eat dim sum with David and Amy and her other high school friends. David and Amy are visiting from California. We ate dessert at Nordstrom Café, and then we went shopping in the afternoon. I love my new Thomas the Train starter set. Thanks Auntie Melissa and Uncle Joe! You always get me the best Christmas gifts!

Ever since Mommy’s been home a lot more this break, I want her to do everything. I want her to read to me, bathe me, feed me, change me…..Not Daddy.

I read the numbers on my toy box today. “This is a one. This is a six. This is a nine.” I read all the numbers one through ten. Yesterday, I read my letter sounds. Mommy and Daddy think I’ll be reading words soon. I already know how to spell my first name!

I already know all my shapes too! (oval, diamond, star, square, triangle, rectangle, circle)
