Boozoos

Picked up the Jakers early this afternoon, but I didn't take him to the park. I decided to head back to Hawaii Kai to get the car washed. When Jake was 5-6 months old, I took him through the car wash and he hated it. He screamed, hooted, and hollered. I was a little scared to take him through, but I did and he was fine. He was actually curious about the whole ordeal. As a reward for being a curious kid, I took him to Bubbies for some mochi. He was on cloud nine. Funny bit is that the 16-ish year old girl that was working there was wearing a Black Flag t-shirt. I asked if she really listened to them (never seen a BF t in Hawaii) and she said "Not lately b/c I'm too busy. I do like oldies music though." I was shocked. Oldies?! They're not oldies! Man, I felt like a fogey.

BaBaBaBaBa

Dinner was another round of "babas," only this time it was at the dalkalbi jip. He seems to be wanting to vocalize (at the very least) before hitting the sack these days. Funny, we keep getting comments about how well-behaved he is, but when he was done eating tonight, he was an antsy little stress ball. He wouldn't sit still, was yelling "baba"as loud as he could, and wanted to mix every dish with every other one. It may be that he feels comfy around me and mom or it could be a stage, either way, it was a bit difficult.

Hyperactivitiveness

At dinner Jake got the giggles and we all had a very long and good laugh. He started by saying "ba ba ba ba..." over and over again (in a loud voice). Nana acted like she was telling him to stop and he cracked up laughing. She said his smile is infectious. It is. He brought joy to all of us...for 20 loud minutes.

This just got him started because he was wild for about an hour til bed, which is, well, par for the course really. He loves to be super active before bed, like he's releasing something. He was particularly wild tonight. It was fun though.

No one, especially mom, seems to like his haircut.

Kimchi Kid

Haircut! Mom thinks it's too short, but I like it. He was good in the chair, but got fussy toward the end.

Mom had some stuff to do at Ala Moana so we headed that way after work. We decided to eat early at Taiyo Noodles. Jake loves "pasta" almost as much as he does rice these days. Coming in a close second is kimchi, which he is asking for a lot these days. Today he kept wanting more and more. Yeah, he's Korean.

He's also saying more stuff these days, the cutest is when he makes any word with an "oo" sound. For example, "doo doo"; he purses his lips and says real slow "doooodoooo." It's very, very cute.

Somebody Told Me

Typical busy Sunday. I went surfing early this AM with Matt. (It was an absolutely amazing Hawaii day with puffy white clouds and bright blue sky dominating the entire morning, afternoon, and evening.) Mom and Jake slept in then went to the Won Buddhism temple for Buddha's b-day.

We met up around 1:00 at home and cleaned til Odin and Jin-young (sp?) came over for play time. They all had a blast as usual and to boot the house is back to normal (I cleaned the last vestiges of messiness whilst the kiddies swam).
