Mom and Leif hiking to Makapuu light house--Mommy
club rules state that mommies must wear the designated
uniform and have a toe-head blond as a child.
Hanging with friends and enjoying some ono food at the Valentines Day party
I'm not so sure about this train ride.
Leif also loves to read his "big boy" books. These are picture books with regular paper pages (instead of board books) and has had many fits or tantrums if he can not read them. Putting these book up on a high shelf doesn't work as he then tries to climb up the furniture to get to them. He simply loves to read. Often he will be sitting by himself reading out loud. This consists of making a variety of babbling sounds as he looks at the pictures and turns the pages.
I love my "big boy" books!
Some times I just need to relax
Leif has also begun to make a new babbling sound using the back of his hand and his mouth. He loves doing this (check out the video below) and ends up cracking himself up as a result.
We will also be moving to a new house in a couple of weeks. It is located on former military housing but the houses are managed by a single rental agency. This is the largest house Amanda and I have had with over 1200 square feet of living space and a nice wrap-around lanai. It has three bedrooms, a nice back yard for Leif to run and play in, and is walking distance to some nice parks and the beach! We are all very excited to have more space. Technically it is called a duplex because it shares a roof line with another house but the only part of our house that will be next to our neighbors is our carport (which is between the two houses). Call it coincidence, but it is like the movie Field of Dreams--"build it and they will come." Now that we have a bigger place we have family coming to visit for the month of April (they can help unpack, yeah!!!). Thank goodness for the added space as it would have been tight in our little one bedroom apartment.
Our soon to be new house
Aloha for now. We hope to see or hear from you soon!
Cory, Amanda, and Leif

Great news on getting into a bigger place!
Love the pictures of Leif...that little guy has some great hair. Now, on the 'mommy club', is it an issued uniform? Are you guys part of a union? :-)Courtney
I love the new house. It is a house and not an apartment. Everything looks so good. Your mommy group looks fun and looks like Leif is having a ball. Love Mom
Leif looking at the book is the best picture. He is too cute. You look awesome, as always. I can't believe these are the winter pictures. I could get used to the perks of Hawaiian living. I can't take pictures from Oct-Feb or else people mistake me for Casper the friendly ghost. Love the post! Alison
How cute! Leif is getting so big. What a handsome family!
I love the video ...especially the ending ha ha ha =) Too adorable!! Much looking forward to seeing photos of your new home. You three are an incredible family. Have a great weekend, Cory!! Aloha, Erik
You guys look great and Leif is such a cutie! Love the new digs. Really glad to see that you are all so happy and doing well. Thanks for blogging, it's so wonderful to get a glimpse into your island life! xxoo
