two people, one dog, and one baby figuring out life in Hawaii

4 months!

On the 6th, Annie turned 4 months! She had her shots and her check up on Friday because we obviously just got to Hawaii and had to squeeze in a visit.  She weighs 15 pounds and is hitting the milestones she should be!

What Annie is up to:
Wiggling on her back
kicking her legs to make the bouncy seat move
grabbing things
kisses and smiles
laughing
dancing to pop music
eating her hands
almost grabbing her feet
teething
chewing on mommy's knuckles
8 hour flight to Hawaii
sleeping at night for 8 hours straight
sleeping unswaddled (at night)
napping 3 times a day
going to sleep on her own

Thanks to our good friend who came to visit while Kenny was gone, Annie is mostly sleeptrained.  How it got started was that I was passed out in the room next to Annie's with the monitor on and slept through her crying for 15 minutes. Had my friend not heard her, I would have not believed it! So with Annie knowing how to self-soothe, we begane to sleep train her.  This was hard but amazing since I had been soothing her with the hair dryer.

She is napping much better now that she is on Hawaii time!  It took about 6 days and lots of dancing to keep her awake for 15 extra minutes each time she was awake, but we did it!  We move into our townhouse on Monday officially, but Kenny has spent the week getting it set up with temporary furniture and unpacking our boxes from our express shipment. 

Daisy is doing well with out upstairs neighbors.  She was a little skittish at first, but she is happily snuggling and loving playing with their 2 year old son.

I will post pictures when we get into our place and have wifi since they are all on my phone.  But we are all loving the gorgeous weather and sunshine! 

Thank you to all who have given us love and support as we have been going through this transition.  We are so fortunate to have such amazing friends and family!

Aloha!
