The Stickley family adventures started in Hawaii in 2005 when Cris and Emilie were married. The real excitement began in May 2008, when Nova was born. 2 short months later, our little June-Bug joined the family from all the way in Vietnam. The next few crazy years included Emilie being deployed to Afghanistan, while Cris and the girls moved back to Hawaii, then a long year of living apart (and a lot of trips across the Pacific Ocean), while Emilie remained in Colorado to complete her Army committment, and Cris had to stay in Hawaii for his job at the University.

In the summer of 2012, little Jude joined our family, and the whole gang reunited for good in Hawaii!

Follow our adventures, as we try to keep track of life with our 3 crazy kids, while keeping our friends and family updated on the happenings here in Hawaii!

Jude - 8 months!


Hey Jude! You're 8 months old! You are developing an adorable little personality.  You have a cute belly laugh, and it really  makes you giggle when we play peekaboo (or variations on the theme). Your favorite toy is a small plastic basketball.

We find it really crazy that you don't enjoy your bottles at all. We have to really struggle to get you to eat your bottle during the day (as opposed to Nova, who LOVED a good bottle!).  You do, however, go crazy for any other kind of food.  You think you are able to eat regular grown up food, and I have to keep a close eye, or you will end up with a handful of our food in each hand.

At the end of your 7th month, you really started to try to crawl (I'm trying not to give a spoiler for your 8th month!). You figured out how to get up on all fours and rock around. You also are able to kind of scoot from point A to point B.

On of our very favorite pictures of you....working on your fitness
You really enjoy the water!
Waikiki Beach (you're favorite thing is getting tossed way to high in the air-just like your sisters)
You also tried out paddleboarding fort the first time. Unfortunately you weren't too crazy about it...but you've got time to learn!

Another fun month...and getting dangerously close to one year old!
I have some more great posts coming up...including our "staycation" in Waikiki, a camping trip, and Princess Nova's 5th birthday celebration!
