In case there is any question as to where I get my pet name for her....here's why???
She was all about smiling for me!
Maggie with her new tea set! I can't wait to have a tea party with her.
Mom took a group shot before we left!
Happy 1st Birthday Maggie! I hope you enjoyed it!! We love you!
She loved this duck.
After presents, it was time for cake! Maggie had her very own #1 smash cake and everyone else had individually decorated lady bug cupcakes. They were adorable. 
Blowing out the candles with a little help from Mommy.
Maggie had no problems diving right into her cake. She liked the icing. Yummmm!
What a mess!
And that was about all the fun she could handle. I hear there were naps all around that afternoon!
After looking at the fish, he sat for a while and watched the sharks and larger fish. He said "Look Mama, a BIG one!"
We saw lots of cool things, like this eel. This one is for you, Drew!
After the aquarium, we chased some birds around the park and even had time to walk down to Waikiki beach to watch Andrew throw a few rocks into the water. 
He had so much fun that he passed out as soon as we got in the car. He had a really good nap too, considering it took us 1 hour and 55 minutes to go 29 miles. Traffic was HORRENDOUS!
He was still tired when we got home. After dinner Drew called on Skype, just in time for bath time. We took the computer upstairs so Drew got to watch. After his bath he said "Mama, I go sleep right now!" We didn't even read books. We said our prayers and he went right to sleep!
TODAY...we went to the zoo. I love the zoo! So does Andrew. He looked so big wearing his backpack.
My favorite exhibit today was the Tigers. They had 3 baby cubs that were so fun to watch. They were practicing their pouncing skills and we even got to see them play in the water. 
After the Tigers, we headed into the Keiki zoo. It's basically a petting zoo. They have a fish tank/aquarium with a tunnel for the kids to climb through and look at magnified fish. 
Next we moved on to the pigs. Andrew got to pet one.
And he was really excited about it...
Next, it was time for the goat house. 
After giving our hands a good scrub, we decided to head over to the cafe for some lunch, where I must tell you the birds are out of control. I was eating a sandwich and a little brown bird flew by and tried to take it from me...more than once! After that things got even crazier. Here is a naughty pigeon eating a fry right off of my plate!
Here's a pretty view of Diamond Head from inside the zoo.
It was another fun, yet exhausting day. Andrew went right to sleep again tonight. I really enjoy hanging out with my 'Lil man. I love not having to be anywhere at a specific time, so we could just "have fun." No schedules to keep, no need to rush. It was great!
Bedtime has gotten a lot better at our house. (FINALLY) Andrew now goes to bed all by himself and doesn't wake up in the middle of the night. Andrew was a rocker and so I'd rock him every night, but now that he's a big boy, he goes to bed in his room.
After bath time we climb up in his bed and read a few books, say our night night prayers, and I kiss him good night and leave! I have a new found freedom at bedtime!
However, sometimes he doesn't want to go to sleep as quickly as he should. He already knows all the tricks to delaying bedtime. He asks for milk, he asks to go potty (3 times within 2 minutes), asks for me to hand him his lovey that he just threw on the floor. But the other night I heard a new one. After I had taken him to potty for the second time and tucked him BACK in, he says, "Mama, I need chap stick!" So I had to go to my room, get the chap stick, and watch as Andrew applied it to himself as well as Henry, Puppy, and Crocodile. He's so funny! That satisfied him and he went to sleep.
Last night before saying our prayers I asked him what he was thankful for. He places an index finger over his mouth and says "Hmmmm.....CANDY!" Out of the mouth of babes!
I only took these 2 pictures because the sound of my camera scared him to death! I couldn't bear to torture this lil cutie any more.
Later that night, when I was getting ready for bed, I took Chiquita out one last time and noticed a funny light off in the distance. I went upstairs to get a better look from our balcony and I noticed it was a FIRE!
I'm not sure exactly what it was. I know there are a lot of chicken houses and farm buildings over there, but the blazes were out of control. I could hear the crackling from my house!
I didn't know whether or not I should call 911. I thought SURELY someone closer had already called, but I didn't hear sirens. I debated for about 5 minutes and then I finally heard them. Help was on the way. 
Finally 30 minutes later, I saw the flashing lights. They had made it. I didn't hear anything on the news or read anything in the paper. I just hope everyone was alright.
Whee!
After the playground, he took off running after the birds. Then he managed to slow down long enough for me to snap a few pictures under this nice shade tree.
This one is my favorite! (even though he has a sweaty, red face!)
For some reason he wanted to lose the shoes!
We had a fun day! Good thing there was a park next door because the 15 minute safety inspection ended up taking 3 HOURS! But, we had a good time!
Kristina made an adorable diaper cake!
Here are a few of her opening presents. I love the look on her face. Isn't she just glowing!
Hope you had fun Heather! We can't wait to meet you little boy. (Especially so we can find out his name)
