Ok, so we didn't go to Hawaii, but it sure look like it! We were hiking in the Gorge, by Multnomah Falls.
Fairy Falls.
At Counsel Crest.
Anna is our little singer! Here she is bursting into song. So cute!
So lush and beautiful! Living in Portland really ruins the whole Hawaii experience. Waterfalls and lush green plants, yea we have that in Portland.
Need I say more! So beautiful! I feel so lucky to live in such an amazing place!
Miss Anna is now NINE months old! I can hardly believe it! Only three months away from turning ONE! Wasn't Anna just born? I mean really? Time has gone by way too quick for my liking.
Anna is developing quite the little personality! She loves to 'sing' and 'dance' to music. We have to take her out of church because she can't stop singing. She gets very excited about her food (she can feed herself). I have never seen a baby open their mouth so wide to get food in. Anna can crawl somewhat! I call it doing the inch warm. It is really cute to see her trying so hard to get around. I give her one more week and she will be doing some real crawling. I guess it's time to baby proof!
One of Anna's favorite things is having her Daddy walk her around. She has amazing balance and only needs to hold on to Adams two fingers.
Anna has her Mommy and especially her Daddy wrapped around her little finger. She knows we would do anything for her.
Seriously sweet and such a happy girl!
I don't know what I would do with out this sweet little girl! She means the world to me. I am amazed sometimes when I sit back and think that I am a Mother and I have a daughter. Theses last nine months with Anna have been hard and wonderful. I truly feel bless that she has come into my life. She is my reason for Mothers day!
My little sugar is officially 8 months old! Anna just keep getting cuter and sweeter!
Our little happy family.
One of my favorite animals at the zoo is the polar bears. When we went by the exhibit those rascally polar bears were sleeping. I guess we will just have to go back soon.
Only a think piece of glass between us and this guy. Yikes!
My favorite picture of the trip! I love it when my little bug stares up at her Mama! Pure love!~
We had to keep our buggy out of the sun! We might of gone a little overboard with the glasses, but she sure looks cute!!
So many new thing can make a little girl sleepy! Lucky she had her Daddy to take care of a sleepy baby!
Anna's fist trip to the beach could not of been better! The weather was amazing! It felt like summer weather.
The first time baby toes touched sand!
Hiking at Ecola State Park. It was offically the windiest hike we have ever been on!
Even with all the wind, Daddy kept Anna snug as a bug. She even took a little nap.
One of the perfect days at the beach.
Oswald West State Park
Adam camped here 25 years ago with his family. Adam said that he was not disappointed, Oswald west was just as beautiful as he remembered it! I have to agree with him, it was quite idealistic!
Overlooking Manzanita beach.
Indiana Jones bridge!
I loved our mini vacation! It felt so good to get away for a while! We came back feeling rejuvenated and refreshed! I definitely will not wait two more years to go back.
