It's almost Christmas, which is exciting. I love seeing my family and friends, and giving gifts that make them smile. I wish I had more money to spend on gifts this year, but once again, we're down to just one income, just in time for the holidays. C and I had talked about this, oh, in JUNE, and made a plan so that we wouldn't be in this situation for another year (3 in a row now) but obviously that hasn't worked out. Luckily, Christmas isn't just about giving gifts, so those that get small and/or homemade gifts from me won't be upset, but it still bothers ME.
Kawika is almost 8 months old now! Time really does fly. He's so strong it's hard to get things away from him if he decides he really wants it. He always wants to stand, and he'll walk with me while holding my fingers for balance. He doesn't seem interested in crawling and gets frustrated when placed on his belly. He immediately rolls to his back to give you a glare, then rolls back to his tummy, and back and forth, until he gets bored and yells, at which time we set him on his feet and he smiles like "Finally!"
Work is fine. We're entering our slow period and there have been lots of rumors circulating about the future of our company, so that's a little unsettling. Other than that, though, it's business as usual. We did have our annual holiday party this past Saturday and it was a blast. *small pat on own back* Here are some photos:

Also, what's a blog post without baby updates? A photo and a video here:

I think that was the last bath we had in his baby tub... he's too big for it now and tries to climb out, so he's graduated to the big tub, as of 2 weeks ago. He loves the water and has a blast just splashing and scooting around. I love that he loves bath time. Hopefully this trend will continue, because nobody likes a stinky boy.
