Four Months

A few weeks ago Hanalei turned four months! This little girl is so even-keeled. She absolutely takes after her papa in temperament, even she resembles me a little more in looks. Hana is so content to ride on my hip, or hang out in a bouncy seat, or hit toys, or… well anything! She loves observing the world around her and has a smile for everyone.

I have said it before and I will say it again, she’s just an easy baby (of course a statement like that is an invitation for the other shoe to drop). Hana continues to sleep really well and is an old pro at taking bottles now. That wasn’t always the case. We really struggled with bottles until I returned to work and the lovely ladies at daycare patiently taught her to drink her milk. Sometimes she will go a few days without really crying. She has these cute little “uhh-uhhh-uhhh” noises that she makes when she’s hungry or tired, but so far we rarely get the full-fledged wail.

Hana has also found her voice and we often hear her laughing and making tiny baby shrieks as she talks to her toys and to her brother. Speaking of Max, the two of them are so cute together. I watch Max walk up to her and hold her hand and play with her and her toys. Often he gets excited and we have to remind him to be gentle around Hana, but she doesn’t seem to be phased at all by his rough playing. I cannot wait to see their relationship unfold as they grow up.

Happy Four Months Hanalei!
