Hawaii - Part 1

We have been in Hawaii, North Shore Oahu - our old BYU-H stomping grounds - for the last 5 days. We are here until Tuesday, and can't believe our vacation is already almost over!! This has been Scarlett's first big vacation and our first vacation together as JUST our little family. Those of you who talked with me before I left knew how nervous I was about the long flight and the 3 hour time change (especially since Scarlett just started sleeping all through the night).  Well it turns out that my worries were ridiculous because I forgot I had the absolute best baby in the world!  She slept and ate and played on the flight and was so happy!  And the first night we got here she just woke up once to nurse and has been on her regular schedule ever since.  She has been in heaven this whole trip with so much to do...And she has gotten so attached to Doug while we have been here and is so thrilled she gets to play with him all the time...I don't know what she is going to do when he has to go back to work. Our vacation thus far has been filled with 6:30 am bike rides (when S wakes up), playing the ocean, playing/eating the sand, walks, soccer games, and evening bike rides to watch the sunset. We are all having the time of our lives!

She watched the waves very nervously at first...took her a while to warm up to them

Happy Halloween!

We spent Halloween in Hawaii, but luckily before we left there were plenty of festivities for us to dress up and party at!

I think they call this "tampering with evidence..."

6 months

My little Scarlett June is 6 months old now. She weighed in at 19.4 lbs, 26.75 inches tall, and 42 inches in head circumference.  She is in the 90 percentile for weight, 85 percentile for height, and 75 percentile for head size.  She is our beautiful big girl!! I really don't know how it is possible but she gets cuter and cuter every day and more fun with every passing minute!

At 6 months Scarlett:

  • Can sit up by herself
  • Sticks her finger down her throat all the time :(
  • Loves to squeal 
  • Absolutely hates getting her face wiped
  • Can almost get to her knees
  • Sleeps through the night (most nights)...Now I just need to learn to sleep through the night again
  • Loves to play "Where's Scarlett? Where's Mama? Where's Dada?"
  • Loves to jump in our arms
  • Really likes to hear me sing "Itsy-Bitsy-Spider"
  • Rolls over to get from place to place
  • Can scoot herself in circles and to the side
  • Loves to laugh at herself in the mirror
  • Walks while we hold her hands
  • Has a new favorite toy...measuring cups
  • Got her two front bottom teeth...but she never lets me snag a pic of them
  • Is just the cutest sweetest cuddliest cheekiest little angel
  • Fills her mama's and dada's heart with so much happiness, love, and joy.

 So cuddly! Loves her mama

 Owen being such a good big cousin

 Play! Play! Play! All day long!
