Our mom's group ladies gave me and Jessica a baby shower on Friday. It was really fun, Kalia had a great time and was even chasing the boys around. Erik wasn't too happy to hear that, but I was glad she wasn't attached to me like she is sometimes. We had a BBQ and some games, the kids just ran around-- it was really nice.

We still walk to the park on Sunday mornings and Erik picks us up, it's a pretty good walk and I'm just not up for the hill at the end of the return right now. Her favorite thing is to walk up backwards up the slide and run completely naked on the beach. She's having a naked thing right now.

We've had a fun week, trying to keep busy and tire her out for her naps. Tuesday we went to the Marriott pool again, it was packed! We really had to search for a few chairs! Erik surfed in front of the hotel and we cruised around the pirate ship and pools. Wednesday we went to Slaughterhouse beach for snorkeling (Erik and I took turns) and sand castle building. Thursday, there was no daycare at the gym, so we went to the park for a couple of hours, Friday we had the baby shower and today we had a birthday party. I just say the words "Birthday Party" and she says "cupcake" or "juice".

Erik went to recycle our cans/bottles today at the little recycling center in our condo complex and somebody left a broken bottle lying out and he cut his leg open. We thought he could just wrap it up, but it kept bleeding and we pretty large. He wanted me to butterfly it, but I cleaned it and just couldn't see how I could possibly do it. I told him he had to go to the drs.-- 7 stitches later, we're both glad he went. He's pretty bummed- 10 days out of the water and no great story, "yeah, I was recycling some cans..."

Kalia's been kinda crabby lately- lack of sleep, I think. Yes, we are still missing our "hee hoo". Erik told me this morning that we should write to the crib/toddler bed company because they obviously put the opening on the wrong side of the bed, because that seems to be the only side she is waking up on lately. Oh, he probably doesn't want me to write this, but we were talking about baby names the other day and he said "what about Dora?" He was being serious!!!! I just said, "you mean like Dora the Explorer?" I thought that was pretty funny, I mean what kid doesn't know Dora the Explorer?
