Aloha!

We had quite an eventful last few days! It has been a nice excursion from the real world.  Syona was surprisingly really good on the plane ride to Kuaui, another mom even stoppped by to tell us she was the star of the show! We have a small fridge in the hotel and have been refrigerating her some gerber baby food, applesauce and sweet potatoes and feeding her breastmilk and rice cereal and oatmeal as well. This week she tried bananas for the first time too and really liked them! Going to the beach was quite an event! It took forever to get her dressed in her wetsuit, with sunblock, her swimshoes on, her sunglasses and sunhat, and when we got to the sand Paul took about an hour to set up the beach tent haha. Once we were all settled we took Syona to the ocean and had her play with the sand. She kept trying to eat the sand so we had to watch real close. She was wary about the waves, but once we took her to a kiddie pond she was much happier swimming there as it resembled a pool and was nice and warm. Last night we went to a Luau at the hotel and got Syona dressed up for the occasion in her first luau outfit, thanks to uncle alok and auntie thoral. Syona received many compliments on her ensemble! The pool has been really fun here too. We have Syona in her own floaty floating around the pool, she loves it!

 If I never took her out of the water, she would stay in it all day. Unfortunately, Syona caught a small cold last night, so we're having a relaxing day to rejuvenate, nap, play and read with Syona.
