I'm on vacation!!! I'm in Hawaii!!! I've got sand in my belly button!!! I pee'd in the pool!!! Hi!!!

Soaking it all in at the hot tub...this is vacation

Mine's red...what color is your tongue? Sharing shaved ice by the North Shore

Swimming with the sharks...I mean, Daddy

Happy birthday mommy...is that a tan or did you drink too much? Oh, my thumb tastes even better in Hawaii with some of that pineapple (notice the pineapple rash on my cheeks?)

Waterfalls! I think it'll be time for a diaper change soon...hehehe

Stopping for a picture during our morning walks along the lagoons of Ko Olina

We were at the grand opening of the Keiki (Children) Zoo inside the Honolulu Zoo

Getting a real up close look at the trigger fish...a prelude to what I'll see while snorkelling in Hanauma Bay

Group shot before we feast at the Luau. Get me some of that yummy kalua pig and pour on the poi mommy...oh, can I get a mai tai ;)

Grown ups dance funny in Tahiti

Hanging with the fishes at the Honolulu Aquarium

Is it almost time to go home already? I'm gonna miss my first vacation.

February 3, 2006 | Superbowl XL came to town and we went to check out the festivities downtown.

Posing by the water fountain in Campus Martius.

Checking out the sights and sounds of the Winter Blast

Even Mommy was a football fan that night.

Here we are, dressing up for the big game.

January 29, 2006 | Happy Chinese New Year! May you have fortune and happiness throughout this year of the Dog. [FYI, last year was the year of the Rooster and I was born at the tail end of the year of the Monkey]

Here I come...get out those red envelopes :)

Before Grandpa and Grandma hand out the red envelopes, we all gathered around and sang some songs.

And here I am, trying to play a tune.

There's Uncle Kham Souck saying how big I've grown.

Wow! There's a lot of nice red envelopes inside. Do I just get one or all?

Well, I think the answer is all :)

Like my long ponytail?

Here's we are, the 3 little babies. Oh, let me introduce cousin Brandon in the middle. I'll teach him how to suck his thumb real good.

Ok, now it's just me horsing around.

Ok, now it

Birthday #1...count 'em! Thank you to everyone for making my first year so memorable. I had a great time at my birthday party and the gifts were far too generous. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Had to show you my new wares. Watch for me on HNIC in 18 years :)
