Nine months old!

Andie continues to enjoy her new backpack. She took a spin in it with Olivia on Monday.




And Papa got to try it out on Tuesday.




Jason went to Catalina Island earlier this week for a conference. Andie got so excited about video chatting with him on Monday night that she dove face first into the edge of the coffee table, resulting in her first fat lip.



She got over it pretty quickly though. Especially once Jason got home and they got to play with each other!






Today we took a nice walk in a nearby redwood grove with Nana, Papa, and Hawkeye.






Other fun activities from the week included a dinner date with Aunt Ellie, a visit from Andie's doula, a visit from Henry and Nancy, and a festive holiday party at a neighbor's house. It was a big week! To top it all off, Andie turned 9 months old today!











Andie continues to impress us every day. She has recently discovered how to point, and her favorite things to point at are her puppy and light fixtures. Kristin was having fun showing her how to turn light switches on and off until Jason pointed out that she can reach the one above her crib. Oops. Maybe she won't notice...

Changes

There have been a lot of changes over the past six weeks in the Herilino household. Perhaps the biggest is that Nani and Papa moved out! We were so happy to take them in after the fire, and we are even happier that they have found a new place of their own to call home (especially because it isn't in Iowa). They are again just a short drive away in Santa Rosa, and they even promised to still babysit one day a week. Nani and Papa really enjoyed spreading out after being relegated to such tight quarters at the Herilino house. Although they didn't have too much stuff to move, Andie helped them unpack some of their new things. She liked how the packing material stuck to their clean windows. They don't have much in the way of furniture yet either, but Nani and Papa made sure Andie felt comfortable by stocking their house with new toys, a kid's table, and a potty seat. We are already having lots of fun hanging out there. Andie loved trying ou...

Farmhouse

Team Herilino had a fun-filled trip to the little red farmhouse this weekend to see wonderful friends. Andie got to see her buddy Sam, who she hadn't seen since she was six months old. Andie and Sam, July 2016 Andie and Sam, September 2015 They got reaquainted via some hand touching. It was the perfect coastal summer day. We ate some tasty food -- Andie particularly enjoyed the strawberries. Andie showed everyone how to boogie to the music. They picked up her instruction quickly. Jason taught Andie to skateboard. Andie was very excited to join the big kids for a round of frisbee golf on the hillsides beyond the fence. The frisbee crew She loved riding the wagon full of discs back to the house. Steve took some drone footage of the surroundings while we were golfing (you can see the footage here: https://www.skypixel.com/share/video/the-farm-house-171c2db9-64b8-486c-bb59-8c4...

More visitors and first real bath

Andie met Uncle Joe and Auntie Sue yesterday. It was wonderful to have them visit, and we wish they could have stayed longer! They brought some delicious Kalua Pork and lemon bars, and even made a run to Wild Flour Bread this morning for some breakfast treats! Andie had her first bath in her infant tub last night, and she loved it! She lost her umbilical cord stump a little over a week ago, so she can finally submerge her cute little belly button. She's clearly well on her way to dive training!
