Walk walk walk

Well, here's a little update on our late walker.

Cyan has really enjoyed crawling. So much in fact that I never thought she wou

ld decide to walk (this is ok with mommy because a crawler is slower than a walker ..hehehe)

Well, at 14 months Cyan has finally figured out the walking thing. Here's a timeline of the important event:

June 3rd - Stands by herself and walks to mommy and daddy while packing for Hawaii. Cyan is EXTREMELY proud of this and thinks its really funny.

June 4 - 9th - Stands by herself (and laughs) constantly. Loves to stand on the bed in Hawaii and in the sand.

June 11th - 14th - Takes a few steps (with daddy's encouragement) in the Maui condo. Again, she is very proud of herself.

June 17th - Walks BY HERSELF in the airport again and again as we are waiting for our flight to go home.

Now Cyan walks around when she wants. She is still favouring crawling (she's still faster at crawling). She has a zombie kind of walk. Arms are up usually and she shifts her weight back and forth.

Lots of people have seen her walk and have been very impressed with Cy-boo. 

We just love her! She's so much fun!

Aloha everyone!

Aloha everyone!

We are currently in Hawaii on our 3rd family vaction with Cyan.

We are having an amazing time on the islands of Aloha. As you all know, Neil and I love Hawaii so much. It is by far one of our favourite places in the world.

We decided to visit two islands this time around to make it a holiday to remember. Here's what we've been up to.

June 4 - 9th - Waikiki

We flew from Vancouver on June 4th and brought Gong Gong (grandpa Tran) along for our Waikiki part of the trip. We had an amazing time on Oahu. We stayed at the new Waikiki Wyndham hotel. We just LOVED it. It was central and close to the beach. We hung out around town. We were there during a 3 day festival and participated in a street market on Kalakau Ave. and watched a parade. We rented a car and drove to the Windward side of the island and enjoyed a day at a quiet beach. Cyan loved Waikiki Beach. She got to play in the water there and go weeeeee in her crab.

June 9 - 17th

On June 9th the 3 of us flew to Maui and are staying in Kihei. We have done so much on Maui so far and still have two days to go! We have driven almost the entire island. We have found some pretty amazing beached. Big Beach (** 1/2), Baldwin Beach (***) and Kapalua Bay (****) to name a few. We also visited the volcano and Iao Valley. Hung out in cool town like Paia and Lahaina.

Tomorrow we are heading back to our favourite spot so far, Kapalua Bay. This is a great beach for little Cyan. It's a bay and has calm waters. It also has some great snorkeling and some boogie boarding. We can't wait to get back in the sun tomorrow!

We hope you are all doing well! We send our love from Hawaii!
