Fall has officially arrived here in Hawaii and this means the average high temperature is now around 87 degrees instead of 90--and it feel better, too.
Leif is changing so much. He has given up his "army" crawl in favor of a more traditional crawl, though he is still mastering it. His walking is improving as well. He can stand alone for up to ten seconds if he is not too distracted and can now hang on with only one hand and walk where ever he wishes. Amanda and I are both constantly impressed with his efforts yet know we are on the verge of having to endlessly chase him down.
Leif still loves his reading time and often is quite content sitting by himself and "reading" his board books. He will sit for long stretches, flip through the pages, and simply talk to himself.
We have been going to the beach more these last few days as Cory is on Fall break from school; we are finally able to play wth those beach toys Grandma Mary got for Leif last Easter. It has been quite relaxing but a bit depressing as there has been no surf for quite some time. Things will be looking up soon though as the winter season is fast approaching and there will be "planny" waves on the north shore.
We miss you all and look forward to a visit soon--the weather is always great, the beaches are always warm, and the ocean will certainly wash away any stress you may have!

The tooth is beautiful...I still have your baby teeth Cory if interested.Anyway I think Leif wants to let go and play with the children on the beach. My heart longs for you. Love to all..Mom
Amanda, he is so cute. You must go through an awful lot of sunscreen because he has perfect skin. When does he turn one? He is walking early, huh? I am learning that boys are great. Way less dramatic. I will post to my blog soon and you can check out Chancelor. I swear he and Leif look amazingly similar. By that I mean both beautiful. Alison
Hey guys! Leif is just adorable. He sounds like he is pretty good to you two. Thanks for the update, and I hope to read more soon! :-)Courtney
