these shoes are made for walking...
Makena is especially thrilled with herself for walking. Though lately, she has been demanding assistance and will not let go of your finger and drags you around wherever he goes. If you can manage to pry your fingers from her grasp, she promptly drops to the ground (wherever she may be), slumps over, head to ground, and proceeds to scream. SCREAM. It's actually kind-of funny. This kid knows how to throw a tantrum. All drama, but oh so cute!

It's a Tutu kind-of day
No, not Tutu the person, but tutus, like ballet princess tutus. I decided to put Makena in this cute outfit she received for her birthday, and then asked Nanea if she wanted to wear hers today. Never one to miss an opportunity to dress up, she jumped at the chance to not only wear her super fancy tutu, but wear it out of the house to grandma's.
In walking news, Makena actually took her first unassisted steps about 2 weeks ago at the halau. Just 2 or 3, but exciting nonetheless. This morning she increased to 6 or 7 and when Noa picked her up from the babysitter this afternoon they informed him that she was pretty much walking all day. When she got home, she was walking all over the place. Still a bit unsteady, and as she got tired, resorted to crawling, but I think it is safe to say that our crawling days are limited/over. She is also able to crawl up and down the stairs (she's been going up for a long time now, but just mastered down), open and close the back door, to which she promptly goes out to the slide and climbs up so she can throw herself down (did I say THROW? Not so safe). Now, if she would only sleep better...

Makena is REALLY ready to drive
Makena loves this Dora car. The funniest thing is that she can actually drive it. On the steering wheel is a big red button that you have to push to make the car go (it's battery-operated). Nanea only recently has been able to push it in to make the car go. Once Noa showed Makena the button, she has been able to push it and scoots around the yard. She can't steer, but she has a great time going back and forth (once someone turns her around).

Jet-skiing for Makena
While Nanea played in the water, Makena played on the grass:
And then she got her shot in the inner-tube. I just love her "what the...?!?!?" expression.

A new favorite game
Makena will sit forever (ok, well minutes) and play with the back screen door. Open, close, open close. Lately, she has taken to chucking out her baby doll (who she is VERY attached to, but that's a story for another post), closing the door and saying "HE-llo" and opening the door, leaning out and starting the process over again. Of course, it sounds more like, "DAH-daaaa," but her intonation makes us think she must be saying hello. She leans out the upstairs window and does the same thing. Noa was able to capture these great photos of her. We especially got a kick out of the smooshed face ones!
