Seven Months

Each passing month is bittersweet...

I love watching Evie grow, but time going by too quickly! I'm constantly scrolling through my camera roll to relive every moment from the past seven months.

Evie is learning to crawl. She can't get up on all fours, but she does the cutest little army crawl. She can cover ground pretty quickly. Brady and I need to baby-proof asap. She is drawn to electrical cables. I don't know what to do with all the cords from lamps, chargers, etc. 

She still loves baby food! She eats fruit for breakfast, protein/vegetable combo for lunch, and a vegetable/rice cereal combo for dinner. All meat (chicken, turkey, beef) and vegetables (sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, spinach) have been a big hit. She's coming around to fruits. 

Evie is still sleeping 12 hours at night. Bedtime is 6-7 PM. She usually wakes around 7 AM. However, she woke up twice every night while we were in Hawaii. I don't know if it was the change of environment or the fact that she has FOUR top teeth coming in😳, but it was awful. It felt like the newborn days! She's back to sleeping 12 hours straight since we've been home. 

Her nickname is cheeky monkey. She is full of smiles and laughs. She kept us (and everyone near us) entertained on our long flights. She is very social. She loves to people-watch and smile at everyone. She's also gotten very talkative. She's constantly chatting and lately she's been making pterodactyl noises, which is quite funny. She's our little charmer.

Oahu

We just got back from a great family vacation! 

We were initially meant to visit Key West, but Hurricane Irma foiled that trip. At the last minute (seriously, 3 days before departing) we planned this vacation to Oahu with my parents. 

We spent one week on Oahu. We stayed in Waikiki at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Beach Resort. It was nice, clean, kid-friendly, and a great location - highly recommend and would definitely go back. We had a good mix of activities and relaxation. 

We rented a car to visit North Shore one day. I wish we could have had more time at the North Shore. The beach was beautiful, the shopping and food trucks were 👌 We also did a couple dives while my mom watched Evie. We got to swim with so many turtles. It was great! We also saw a baby octopus and it inked 🐙 dream come true. 

Beautiful North Shore

 Hi babe!

We spent half a day at Pearl Harbor. I love WWII history and I learned so much during this tour. We walked through the museums, watched a couple documentaries and visited the USS Arizona Memorial.

 Evie enjoyed it

The rest of our trip was spent in the water or walking through Waikiki. Evie loved the pool and the ocean. We brought a baby float with us and she had blast! She also enjoyed digging in the sand and making a huge mess😜

We ate so much good food on this trip! Brunch is our favorite meal so our priority was finding the best brunch spots. We found a few gems... Heavenly, Cinnamon's, and Bills were amazing. We also had the best tapas at Goofy Cafe and ahi poke bowls at Ono Seafood.
