Growing up with a little of both and the lessons learned along the way

Lauren is getting closer and closer every day to crawling. And Maile is her biggest cheerleader 🙂
The sad thing is, she has better push up form than her Daddy...
Her move these days is to go into a full plank – whole body off the ground. The part she hasn’t figured out yet is how to make things move forward. Only a matter of time…

Ultimately, I’m guessing communication will go smoother if Maile gets Lauren up to her “level” of talking vs. playing down to Lauren’s. But perhaps Maile has a plan here to establish some common ground first. We shall see…

Mommy and Daddy went away this weekend and left Lauren and I home. Don’t worry Grandma Gail and Papa Cal came to stay with us! On Friday, I told Papa that we needed to send Mommy and Daddy pictures throughout the weekend so that they knew we were doing okay. And that’s exactly what he did!
On Friday night we went to Off the Grid and it was Onigri time for me!
Lauren hasn't discovered the joys of onigri yet, she is content with just her strap.
At the park, I showed Papa how to feed Lauren. (Dad note: Mommy and I really liked how Maile opened her mouth to show Lauren how it's done.)
This is Lauren showing off a bit by holding her own bottle - see Mommy and Daddy we don't need you around! Just kidding...
(Dad note: Thank you to Grandma Gail and Papa Cal for taking such good care of our girls while we were away!)

This is a flashback video from when we were in Boston last week. Maile and I walked down to Stanley School (a short walk from Grandma and Papa’s and where I went to elementary school) and had a lot of fun playing on the playground. I showed Maile how to play hopscotch and then she took matters in to her own hands and came up with rules to share with me about how they play the game “in China.” Yes, I get taught new rules from China for games I thought I knew how to play all the time 🙂

Mommy is a big fan of Pitch Perfect these days and she and Maile have been signing along to the “Cups” song whenever it comes on the radio in the car. So on Saturday, Maile and Mommy decided to try to learn the “cups” clapping part of the song.
They don’t quite have it yet, but they are working on it. We’ll check back in once they nail it 🙂
(Dad note: This is the Youtube video they were using – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5zuY4Nprk0.)

I haven’t quite figured out my big sister, Maile, yet. But I’m working on it…
(Dad note: The end of this video cracks me up. Maile is doing her best to get Lauren to laugh and Lauren is just looking at her like she is the strangest thing she has ever come across. Which is actually probably true…)

Maile and I flew back from Boston on Tuesday. She came with me to work for about an hour before Mommy was ready to take her home. It was an exciting day at Pocket HQ as we had a film crew in house filming some things. They had setup one of our rooms with all these cameras, a green screen, etc. Maile got to check everything out from the make-up girl to the cameras. The crew was awesome – even showed her what she looked like on camera. I think she got a kick out of it – although for as talkative as she is normally, she wasn’t very forthcoming when interviewed on camera 😉
Daddy, is your work like this every day?

As everybody knows, Papa Boston is a BIG time Star Wars fan. So, no surprise, that when he stumbled upon make your own Lightsaber popsicles, he picked up a kit (and they light up green for Luke and red for Darth Vader!) Grandma and Maile made them the day we arrived in Boston and Maile loved eating and playing with them all weekend long. She has no idea really what Star Wars is yet, but slowly, but surely she is being indoctrinated!
Good form, Padawan!
And, yes, they taste good too!
