Akli'e's current favorite song on Youtube.

For some reason he gets into a trance and gets happy everytime I show this to him.

Comes in handy when he's angry and crying.

The Last Song

Sumahi's current favorite song on Youtube comes from the Youtube creator Dave Days. There are a number of different reasons why she likes it so much, from the ice cream being thrown against the wall to the presence of large "papet palao'an" or paper woman in the video. She has also started to develop a love for Miley Cyrus videos on Youtube and so for those who know the lore of the site, one of the things which shot Dave Days to fame and Youtube fortune was his parodies of Miley Cyrus songs and videos. He would use a cardboard cutout (hence "papet palao'an") of her in in his videos, which he would both love and be tormented by. In this video, the "Last Song" Dave Davys finally gets to meet the "magahet na palao'an" the "real woman."

The video itself and the lyrics are below. If you catch her at the right moment you can actually hear her singing parts of the song (both in English and sometimes in Chamorro, because when I watch it with her I translate it into Chamorro when I'm singing along).



Lyrics:
This has been going on
Each second i look you're gone
You're not calling
It's time for me to move on
My friends were right all along
You keep falling away

Giving ups not easy
Its hard enough just saying

As much as i make believe
You're not really here with me
What was i thinking from the beginning
You didn't care at all

So here's your last song

I can leave it all behind
Or take another chance to find you
No where in sight
Going to the movies alone
Every scene that's shown
Reminds me of you

Giving ups not easy
Its hard enough just saying

As much as i make believe
You're not really here with me
What was i thinking from the beginning
You didn't care at all
All that's left are the memories
Constantly haunting me
I'm giving up it's time to grow up
You're not around and we're not in love

Laying around in around in this hotel room
Too much to think about nothing to do
She's not coming back she's not coming back

As much as i make believe
Something in side of me
Has got me hoping got me thinking
Who am i to assume

This love is crazy
Unpredictable maybe
You'll melt my heart like you did from the start
All over again like it's not the end

So here's your last song

Yeah we made it out
Yeah we made it out
Yeah we made it out
Yeah we made it out

Bayena yan Guihan

For some reason, Sumahi really loves this video.

These are my two

Primu Dylan

Sumahi love watching this video of her cousin Dylan jump off the cliffs near Pagat Cave.

Everytime he leaps she starts to laugh in an almost insane way.

And once he hits the water and starts trying to swim to the rocks and gets knocked around by the waves, Sumahi laughs and speaks for the ocean by saying gravely "I am the sea, come here Dylan!"

Ti Robert Johnson Si Sumahi

Este na video, i fine'nina na biahi na Si Sumahi mamacha' guitala.

Put fabot, mungga makasse' gui'.

Sumahi the Door Swinger

Like most kids her age, Sumåhi is obsessed with things appearing and disappearing.

She loves doors, and constantly forces everyone around her to operate and act as if they are doors, performing actions repeatedly and reliably, just like the way a door opens and closes. This is the case whether its climbing up and down stairs, playing peek-a-boo, or throwing things and making you bring them back to her.

Sumahi the Spoiled

Sumahi is getting more and more spoiled and fussy as she approaches her second year. This video shows my approach in dealing with her increasingly bad behavior:

Sumahi's Comment on Daddy's Return and On Her 1st Birthday

April 16th is coming up soon!!! In just a few days, Sumahi would not only be celebrating her first birthday, but will also be seeing her daddy again!

Sumahi expresses all her excitement in the following video:

Sumahi Birthday Wishes:






On her Daddy's Return:






8 more days 'til Daddy comes back!

Mana'homlo' Si Sumahi!!!

Sumahi and the Pikachus

Here is a video with two of my favorite things.



I've decided, that as a loving and caring father, Sumahi will love Pikachu as much as I do. I've started this process, by making sure her life so far is full of Pokemon. I know that there is a chance that she will hate me for this, but I'm hoping that Pikachus will be so natural to her after a while, that having them around will be as normal as breathing or drinking water.

Sumahi's New Moves

On Sumahi's nina's birthday, we all went to our all time favorite restaurant for dinner. Through out Dinner, Sumahi was dancing to the beat, and everytime we tried to capture her on video, she would stop. But you could catch a glimpse of it in this video.
