This week Maile started getting an early start on staying fit with Grandma Gail’s morning exercise routine…

About a month ago, Maile decided she really enjoyed talking on the phone to her grandparents (mostly the “papas”, but the grandmas too). I
I was talking to Grandpa Mike one day and ended up giving Maile the phone and she proceeded to chat his ear off for about 5 minutes. Ever since, she’ll grab the phone and ask us to call “Papa” and get on tell her grandparents about her day (I assume that is what she is telling them at least).
Sometimes the grandparents aren’t home – which leads to Maile voicemails…
But sometimes, they are home and Maile chats up a storm…
I can only imagine what this is going to be like in a year when Maile really starts talking!

I love trees. Whenever I go walking with Mommy and Daddy I always point at the trees and say “thee” – so imagine how excited I was when I arrived at Grandma Gail and Grandpa Cal’s AND THEY HAVE A TREE INSIDE THEIR HOUSE!
Grandma explained to me that it was only temporary for Christmas. Still pretty cool in my book. In any event, in addition to having a tree in their house, Grandma informed me that we also get to decorate with lights and pretty ornaments. And I got to help!
First, Grandma Gail gave me some instructions...
... then Daddy gave me a few pointers ...
... and then I was on my own!
So many ornaments, so little time...
Fun, what's next!?
Since I was in a decorating mood, I decided to decorate my clothes...
... and Grandpa's too - he's a good sport!

As some of you already know, Grandpa Cal is a HUGE golfer. So no big surprise that when he got home from work and the rainy skies cleared, he headed out back with Maile and proceeded to teach her the finer points of the game. Grandma Gail chipped in with some putting tips as well.
Dad note: I was inside while this was going on. The funny thing is that judging by this video (which was taken by Mommy), Maile and I now probably have the same handicap.

On Saturday we left rainy San Francisco and arrived in … rainy Hawaii! But at least it is warm here (and the rain should go away in a couple days). We’re visiting Grandma Gail and Grandpa Cal for our annual Christmas pilgrimage and couldn’t be happier to spend some time with family and get some much needed R&R (and we mean it – Grandma Gail and Grandpa Cal keep Maile hours, so in theory we should get some extra hours of sleep!)
More to come as our trip develops, but here is how we kicked things off…
Very happy to be here with Grandma Gail and Grandpa Cal!
Apparently Grandma Gail and Grandpa Cal are a little out of practice with the "look at the camera, not the baby" rules - luckily we have a couple weeks to figure it out...

On Saturday we headed down to the Farm for the Stanford/USC game and our first tailgate of the 2010 season.
Don't I look cute in my Stanford gear?
Daddy asked me to bring him a beer, but I can't quite get it open. Hmm...
Grandma Gail and Grandpa Cal came along too!
Tailgates are exhausting!
After Maile Girl passed out (I believe from exhaustion, but she and Wills were spending a lot of time over by the beer bucket – is she already sneaking them by me?!?) – Grandpa Cal and I attended the actual game. Fantastic game – came down to the final second when this happened:

On Thursday morning, the doorbell rang at about 6:30 in the morning. Who rings a doorbell at 6:30 in the morning? Grandma Gail and Grandpa Cal, that’s who! Straight in from Hawaii just to see little ol’ me.
Grandpa Cal jumped right in and fed me breakfast. He didn't eat anything, but I think he would say it was one of his favorite meals ever!
After breakfast, I took Grandma Gail out on the stoop and caught her up on everything new in my life.
We had quite the weekend – I’ll catch you up over the next few days…

I can’t believe our week in Hawaii is already over – so sad! I had so much fun – especially getting to spend time with Grandma Gail and Grandpa Cal. Even though I can’t say “thank you” yet – daddy said that taking these adorable pictures with them would more than suffice!

(Dad note: kudos to mommy for taking some great pictures! We’re already counting the days until we come back in December…)

When Maile went to bed on Friday night I told her I would have a surprise for her when she woke up on Saturday morning.
What? Did you say surprise? For me?
What was the surprise?
Say cheese!
Grandma Gail and Grandpa Cal had to head home today. But, boy did Maile have fun spending time with them! She got to hear a lot of stories.
Read it again, Grandpa
Meal time was always a lot of fun!

It was so great to see them…I can’t wait until the next time!
Look Mommy, I'm (sort of) standing
Whee!

We’re back from Oahu and lots to catch everyone up on. First, here’s a couple quick videos of me having fun with Grandma and Daddy. Vacations are the best!
Did you know my Grandma was a horsey? Neither did I – needless to say, quite hilarious when I found out!
And my Daddy suddenly turned into a kissing monster! I was surprised too, but I wasn’t scared…
