Life lately

Sometimes, I'm amazed at how much we pack into such little time. And we love it! There are so many cool places to visit and eat at! 

We went hiking with our church group at Mt. Katsuu. We figured since it was a church activity, it would cater to all abilities. Well, not so much. There were kids on the hike that did amazing, but it was a hike and then a partial climb at the end. We were pretty sweaty at the top but the view was amazing! We hope to find more amazing hikes like this one!At the top! 

This girl is a green smoothie junkie! She loves her smoothies! As soon as the blender comes out, she happily gets into her high chair. She's funny about her food. We haven't quite figured her out. Basically it boils down to flavor we think. Baby food is basically a no go. But she will try just about anything on our plates. She loves her meat too!

This isn't a fun new trick that she's learned. She knows how to flush the toilet. It won't be long before she knows how to dump things in the toilet bowl. I may or may not have ordered a massive package of baby proofing products. Does this mean she will potty train early??

We discovered a new Indian restaurant to eat at just close to our house called Shiva. There's two tables and a few spots at the counter to sit that. It is a one man cooking/serving/cleanup show. He was so nice. He made Liv a mango drink just a nice gesture. The food tasted more homemade than restaurant made. 

Her newest trick: standing with no hands! That's right; she's almost ready to take her first steps. Now about that pacifier- I'm ready for it to go. 

Tonight we tried a Korean BBQ place. They are so much fun! You order the food raw and cook it on the little fire pit in the middle of the table! 

Steven is as always, our family's BBQ master!
