1 year check-up

Yesterday was E's one year checkup...she has grown 2.50 inches since August 18th and gained a pound.  The Doc said if she wasn't so active, more weight would have shown up, but this mouse is on the move, non-stop, all day long.  She is now 30 inches tall, which puts her in the 85th percentile, but she is still on the skinny side, despite moving up to the 17th percentile in weight, but the weight is not a concern, she's just a tiny person like I was as a kid.  She received 5 vaccinations and a flu shot, so today is she running a temperature and a smidge unhappy, but nothing that tylenol isn't helping.  During yesterday's visit, while waiting in the exam room, I realized 2 more teeth have poked through on the bottom, so that is 7 teeth; almost halfway to the first 20 toofers toddlers develop.
 
After our exam, we traveled to visit Uncle Erik and Auntie Lisa to partake in some Skyline Chili, which she loves.  The kids meal includes a drink, which we never usually take because Emma can't drink from a straw yet, despite some good attempts.  We finally got a hang of the sippy cup this week, so we took the drink (water) yesterday to give the straw another try and voila! she used the straw!  The sippy cup training must have helped.
 
We had a full day yesterday...left the house at 9:45am for the Dr. and didn't return until 5:30pm, but Emma was a trooper and was a ball of kookiness and laughs, which was suprising considering how many shots were given.  Last night we attempted our first Chinese bufffet and Emma couldn't stop making smiling faces at the employees, staring at the paper lanterns and yelling "mama" or "dada" when Doug and I went to the buffet table. 

Uncle Jeff finally won me over

Toofers

Toofers are popping in weekly...feels like it anyway.  Emma is now working on her 3rd upper tooth as of yesterday and is miserable.  Last night she kept waking up screaming her head off between 9pm-11pm, but then settled in after a dose of Tylenol.  We feel really bad for her...it's so interesting that some kids aren't bothered by teething, but then others are in extreme pain.  I knew when I was feeding her bottle it was going to be a rough night for her because she kept moving the bottle left to right and biting down really hard.  Today she has been walking around chewing/tearing into her bib, plus whiny and inconsolable.  Anything that makes her mouth feel better is our motto...she could chew on my shoe if that would help!  :O

The jet lag recovery from Hawaii wasn't bad at all.  In fact, she has gone to bed and naps at scheduled times and has been extra sleepy; slept until 10:30am on Friday, at which point we had to wake her.  There have also been several extended naps that we have had to wake her from as well.  This morning she woke up at her normal 6am time, so she must be all caught up from the missing airplane sleepies.

Swam in the ocean, ate ice cream and napped

Aloha!  We are back from Hawaii!  Getting to and from Hawaii was rough as Emma is a whole lot of loco on airplanes, but once there, she was fine. She is "that kid" that people dread being seated near; even Benadryl didn't help on the way home despite the flights being in-line with nap and bedtimes.  As I type, we have been awake for about 40+ hours now...we arrived home at 6:30am and there was no going to bed today other than her naptimes, but she held it together all day with minimal whining. 
 
Emma loved the ocean and Hawaii in general!  We bought her a swim tube because in the pool she was kicking her feet and wanting to push around.  She got in the ocean and was kicking, laughing and trying to drink the saltwater in her "yellow submarine".  After swimming, sunning and eating ice cream, she was pooped out everyday.  We put 60+ sunscreen on her, but she still got a tan on us.  At night we would walk to/from dinner and Emma was fascinated by the sights and sounds of Waikiki, sitting upright in her stroller and leaning forward taking the city in.  She especially loved the ukulele players on the street and would stare, clap etc.  In fact, she loved this music so much, Doug now owns a ukulele and is going to learn how to play.
 
This was a great trip, but it definitely sealed the fate of other trips in the near future.  We won't be on another airplane anytime soon!

Hangin' loose

We have been hangin' loose this weekend as Emma has been sneezing, drooling, screaming and clinging to us like crazy.  Sunday we took her to Children's Urgent Care because after 3 days of being fussier than normal, we thought she might have an ear infection; we didn't want to board the plane to Hawaii with an ear infection!  The ears are all clear, so we think it is the teething causing her to pull on her ear.  Teething is kicking her butt and we all can't wait for those toofers to drop down already to give the kiddo some relief.
 
All week I have been slowly packing our bags when I could and Emma "helped", lol.  Every piece of clothing I would put in the suitcase, if I turned my back for even 1 second, she had items pulled out on the floor.  The "distractions" I carried from room to room were old news compared to the luggage and clothing.  There is a lot of comfort on this trip compared to China, knowing we can purchase any items we may have forgotten right around the corner and we can read the labels! 
 
Hopefully we don't screw up Emma too much with the 6 hour time difference and have to start from square one when we return home.  We are going to try and keep the same daily patterns even though we are on vacation, even if that means we don't get to see as much of Hawaii as we want.  Hangin' loose by the pool under a cabana and eating fresh pineapple sounds good enough to me!



 

No more tears

Emma is now waking without tears and screaming.  Over the last week, she is definitely more comfortable in her new home and daily routine.  When she wakes now, she stands up, grabs onto the rail then sits back down and plays for a bit in her crib before calling out to us.  Our monitor has video and we LOVE watching her explore the crib and play with the blankets and animals.  The other day Emma was playing peek-a-boo with herself and Doug caught a glimpse of her standing in the center of the crib bouncing around.  When we retrieve her from the crib, she gives us the biggest grin and makes a crazy, "aahhh" sound, like she just took a sip of a refreshing Coca-cola.
 
Getting Emma to sleep/nap without screaming is still a challenge, but it's only about 5 minutes of thrashing about...we don't take this personal because even when she falls asleep in the carseat, she thrashes before she gives into the zzz's, so we hold her as tight as we can until she settles into slumber mode.
