Hawaii Postlude/11 Month Birthday

With our last moments in Hawaii, Brendan decided that he liked the beach. Even the sand. It made me so happy.
The good camera came out, and I had snapped about 20 pictures when my battery died. My Mother-in-law said, ‘oh no – and you hardly have any pictures!’. I started to wholeheartedly agree with her, until I realized she was being sarcastic. With a blend of both cameras, I think we were still able to capture the moment. We had a really great time. It’s easy to entertain the idea of moving to Hawaii, but as we get home and back to our daily lives, I realize that it’s really just ‘vacation’ I want more of. Not that Hawaii isn’t absolutely amazing – not that I can’t picture a life going to the beach every day wearing sundresses with plumerias in my hair – but the very best part of Hawaii for me, was unfettered time with my family. There was nothing calling us away from each other. I would love to say that time slowed down, but it went by so fast. What I can say, is that we did enjoy every single moment.
And even in Hawaii, I can’t stop taking pictures of his feet. I really did take too many photos on that last day – for my Mother, I posted a few more of them HERE.

I’m feeling extra emotional about my little man today. For one thing, he gave me extra nice cuddles all day. Head snuggling in neck, arms wrapped around tight, heart melting cuddles that even made other Mom’s at daycare say, ‘Awwww – I hope MY baby cuddles with me like that one day!’. And of course, today Brendan is 11 months old. This is the last month that it isn’t possible to count his age in ‘years’. I clearly remember when I was lamenting not being able to count the span of his life in days… then weeks. How did it get to be almost a year? But as I confidently told the Mom’s in daycare today – just when I think it can’t get any better, it does.

Other things you should know about 11 month olds: they do a lot of purposeful pointing, and almost saying, “that” (short for ‘what’s that?’ I think). And today he ate one and a half bananas for dinner. I cut one up in tiny pieces, but that is not what he wanted. He wanted to hold the entire banana, and eat it like the big people do. When he got done, he kept pointing to the rest of the bananas. As a test, I handed him another one, and he promptly ate half of it. I guess we don’t have to worry about his potassium levels.
