Davey wins yet another contest!
Oh, our beautiful boy. A while back Whole Foods accepted entries of babies eating their favorite photos. I submitted a photo taken a little after his first birthday, where he'd absolutely gone nuts over some fresh peaches. Wait, where did I get fresh peaches in October? Hm. Well, anyway...
He didn't win first, second or third place in the contest. However, they had a bonus prize: Messiest Baby. Take a look at the results -- so cute!
As a prize, we're to expect a $25 gift card for Whole Foods in the mail. I'll make sure to buy his favorite foods with that card.

Kid of the Month
Aww! When we were in Hawaii, Davey was chowing down on freeze dried fruit made by Just Tomatoes. There was a sticker on the containers encouring entrance in to the Kid of the Month contest so, for the heck of it, I entered Davey. Lo and behold, Davey is the kid of the month!
Update 4/14/09: We just received his prize!

David is stellar
Can I just say right now: Davey is such a joy!
Today was day 3 in a row of no potty accidents, including even taking his nap in big-boy underwear and no wetness. He routinely goes to the toilet on his own and, if we're out and about, letting me (or whoever he's with) know when he needs to be taken to a bathroom. Way to go!

Davey couldn't wait
He insisted on eating NOW NOW NOW! The smell of German lentil soup is intoxicating.

The sweetest thing!
Tonight, after we'd read a couple Beatrix Potter stories, Davey and I were snuggling in the dark in the cozy rocking chair. I said, "You know what David? You make me so happy!"
At that he smiled and then started babbling something. It took me a moment to realize he was singing... he sang, "You are my sunshine," to me. Three times.
Sweet boy!

"Jemma is FUN!"
Okay, Hawaii is fun, too! Davey is making friends with Jemma Sutton while on vacation. Jemma and her parents, Jessica and Mike, are on vacation at the same time and staying nearby. Today they played together a bit in the morning and then they all came over for dinner and Toy Story tonight. After she left in the morning Davey said, "Jemma is FUN," while raising his hands high in the air and with great excitement! Jemma is six months older, is very verbal and straightforward with her wishes. What a cutie!
Tomorrow we'll all go swimming together and, if all goes well, they will stay in with her baby sitter for a few hours in the evening while we adults go out to a nice dinner.
Today Mark, Davey and I went for a drive up the East Coast to the northern town of Hawi, then over a volcanic ridgeline to Waimea and then back down to Kona via a highway with a higher vantage point of the East Coast. At Hawi we grabbed an ice cream for Mark and I to share from Tropical Dreams. It was Tahitian Vanilla Bean and Macadamia Nut and surely one of the best ice creams either Mark or I had ever had in our lives. If you're on the Big Island and like ice cream, do NOT MISS this treat!
On the drive to Waimea we had some gorgeous views:
In Waimea we went to a local food court and had a Korean lunch (bi bim bap) that was tasty and artery clogging. I'd eat it again though!
On the way back to Kona we stopped to take a photo of Mauna Kea and noted, "Jesus, it is so windy we can't believe it." It has been HOWLING wind since we arrived nearly everywhere we've been! There was a respite in Waimea today (where it was drizzling) and yesterday a little at the beach in downtown Kona. Other than that: howling. Here's a video of what we mean, taken at the spot where we wanted a photo of Mauna Kea:
Tomorrow we move from the condo to a house a few miles away. Mom says it's gorgeous and we're looking forward to it (and the secluded beach it provides).

Successful Plane Ride !
Check out DJ Davey on the flight from SFO to Honolulu! All in all, Davey traveled pretty darned well. Especially granted that he was puking most of the previous night, much to our horror.
Now we're on Hawaii, enjoying the change of locale with Mom and Michael.
Aloha!

Getting ready for some fun
We've been having a rough few weeks with Davey getting sick twice and then, of course, passing the illnesses along to Mark and I. We're just powering through our work now and gritting out being sick at the same time. Because.
Saturday.
We fly to Hawaii!!
Off to Kona to stay with Mom and Mick for a 10 day vacation.
Can. Not. Wait.

Davey's pooped out. Nap time!
Wow, look how much he's changed and how cute he was (still is)! I just ran across this photo from Prescott's 14th birthday (1-1/2 years ago).

Francisco Mancebo
Davey and I visited with Mom and Mick today. We all went to the beginning of their road to watch the Tour de California riders whiz by as they neared the Davis -> Santa Rosa leg of the race. Go Mancebo, go!

Foodie day
Well yes, I did also get some work done today. In addition to work, however, there was quite a bit of fooding going on.
First, my olives were finally ready to eat after 45 days of sitting in their final brine. They're really quite tasty, though a little mushy. Next year I'll make sure to get really firm olives first and see if that makes a difference. I'll also get more than a quart's worth of them.
Next, before I started up with work I made up the cookie batter for some sugar/cinnamon cookies so they'd be ready later in the day for rolling out and cooking up. Tomorrow is the Valentine's celebration at Davey's preschool and I signed up to bring Davey-safe cookies for everyone, so that he can eat the same cookies as everyone else.
Later, while I had a lunch break, I rolled out, cut and baked the cookies. Mom and Davey decorated them with frosting and sprinkles once they had cooled.
After work I coated two boxes of long-stemmed strawberries in dark chocolate.
Lucky preschoolers, hm?
On a side note, boy it's been a tough week around here! Starting a week ago, Davey started not feeling very well. We've had only one night where he didn't wake up in all that time. Runny nose, recurring fever, awful cough and such crankiness and whining. And then there's Davey! Ha ha. No, but really. On Monday I took him to the doctor to see if he had anything serious as he was exposed to RSV at school last week. The doctor said there was no wheezing, so that's good but he had a very, very red ear drum on one side. He's been on amoxicillin since that evening and eating very poorly. He doesn't want to eat even his favorite foods. This has been rough. We're looking forward to him going back to preschool tomorrow and seeing how he does (he hasn't been there all week).
Oh, and Mark and I got the same sickness, minus the ear infection.
Is Winter over yet?
