Big Girl

Big Girl - is getting so old. We really feel like she is a preschooler now! As you can see she was quite adventurous in Kauai. We are learning change is hard for her, she always likes to know what is next - she is a planner. Much like her mom and dad! The first couple days before we got to the condo, she was quite unsure "where are the cousins? Where are we sleeping tonight?" Once we were situated she was much more comfortable.

Few things we have been noticing, Lilly is really interested in reading. Always asking what words say, and starting to sound things out. She is constantly asking questions "Why do we have blood?" "Why do people in Kauai only wear flowers?" "Why can you see the moon during the day?" The best part is that she is starting to answer some of her own questions.

At first, Lilly was not so sure about the ocean and the waves. After a day or so, she realized how wonderful the ocean is (especially in Hawaii!). She loved jumping the waves, making sandcastles with her cousins, and most of all being burried in the sand.

She even tried surfing the waves - possibly next time she will try standing up! :) Thanks to uncle Matt for the help.

By the end, she was quite a swimmer. She was swimming by herself with her goggles on- for short distances. We are working on the kicking, but most of all trying to get the head up to breath.
