Awesome pics and videos from Hawaii

So we went to Hawaii for a week with Matt's family. It was really fun - we went to Oahu. Unfortunately we learned some things about Alivia that made Hawaii the worst place to ever take her.

First of all, she is allergic to flowers. The second we landed and you could smell them, Alivia started breathing like a little pug - it was cute/sad/hilarious. Second, she's extremely sensitive to heat - she had to be naked the whole time because any time we put clothes on her, a huge heat rash would break out all over her body.

Also, we took a little mist fan anticipating how hot she'd get at the beach, but we found out that whenever she freaks out - we can put the fan right on her and she stops immediately - it was hilarious. She'd start crying and we'd turn on the fan and blow it all over her body and she'd start to laugh and love life! What a crazy girl.

Here's Alivia on the 6 1/2 hour plane ride there. She was really awesome for some of it - and then she wouldn't stop screaming for a lot of it - poor passengers - I'm pretty sure most of them were giving us the stink eye when they passed us as they got off the plane...




Here's Alivia's first time at the beach - she was telling me about how much she loved it! She has the cutest little mouth!

Here's Alivia's first time in the water. She wasn't too sure about what was happening, but she didn't cry. Also Matt's awesome farmer's tan makes me very happy. In his defense, this was the beginning of the trip - it did improve - sort of...

Two freaking months old!

This pic was taken on her first day home from the hospital.

And here she is two months later! She gets bigger everyday!
The little monkey went to the doc and everything is A-OK! She's in the 75th percentile for her weight and head circumference and in the 45th percentile for her height... was there any doubt that she's going to be a little shorty!?!

So we did the whole 2 months immunization ordeal - worst day of my life! I made Matt hold her while it happened and I totally started to tear up. But then the nurse looked over at me judgingly! So I held back the tears. Seriously, we've never heard her cry that loud and hard ever! Her poor little face got all blotchy with red spots all over! So we gave her Tylenol for the next two days. She did really well! These pics are from her first morning after the shots! The Tylenol knocked the poor kid out!

I think she might've enjoyed the drugs just a little too much...

Some funny things about Alivia:

She's started this whole zero to freak out in 2 seconds thing! She's learning how to manipulate us - she knows we'll come running immediately! Then when we pick her up - she's totally fine.
AHHHHHH!!! Classic!She loves her daddy! Because I'm at my internship from 4-11 several nights a week - she's gotten a lot of one-on-one time with Daddy. But she refuses to let him get anything done. When she's with me in the morning, I can set her down any time and she'll just chill - but not with Matt! She has to be touching him the entire night! It's so cute! And a little frustrating for Matt - but he loves it!
Also, this little one can fall asleep anywhere and she sleeps through the night! It's amazing! We put her to bed every night at about 9:45. And without fail, she won't wake up until at least 6 usually 6:30! And then when she's done eating - she falls asleep again until around 10! I'm so spoiled! My next kids are going to be nightmares... I can just feel it!

And this is just a funny picture. I guess she had given up on life so she had to resort to death by burp rag! Ha! Cute little bugger.

Matt's pride and joy...

Who needs a TV when you have this little one?
