Well baby girl had her one month today! one month!! I can't believe she's so old already, time is flying!
The doctor said everything is looking really good. After being so sick for the last few weeks she's finally over her cough, sore eyes/pink eye, and fever. She went into the hospital but now everything is looking good. She weighs 10 lbs 10 ounces and 22 1/4 inches. She's in the 99% for height and 75% for weight. I forget the number for her head measurement but it's in the 50th percentile.
Finau's teachers in Sunbeams had a lesson about their bodies last Sunday. They traced their bodies out on cardstock posters and wrote out all their stats. Finau currently weighs 53 lbs and is 3 feet 8 inches (44 inches). I realized just how big he's getting the other night. I'm still not cleared to pick up anything more than baby or do any physical activity but the other night I cheated a little bit when Finau woke up crying and I went in the room and had him crawl in my lap. I literally didn't realize just how big he was getting until he crawled in my lap and he was bigger than me. He is getting so big.
My aunt said as soon as the second child comes along you see your first grow up so much. I really see that with Finau. We went to this community yard sale last Saturday and there was this couple selling all these really nice toys. Usually Finau would sit down and play and throw a huge fit when we left but when I said it was time to go he just got right up and walked away. He doesn't throw tantrums and listens a lot better than before. He is always helping out with baby...picking out her clothes, getting her diapers and throwing away the dirty ones, feeding her, and rocking her to sleep. He is such a good big brother. Finau is still in speech and talking more and more every day. He is too funny. Since he always hears my parents and I calling Filipo by his first name he's started to call him "Bee-po" lol....He's always going "Where's Bipo? Where's Baby?" The other day Filipo was asking him "Where's Mommy? Where's Allie? Where's Baby? Where's Grandpa? Where's Grandma?" and then he paused for a second and went "Where's Sexy?" and Finau pointed to him...oka we were rolling but I went sasa Filipo's face.
I'm still deciding whether or not to put Finau in school. I interviewed for a couple jobs today so if I get those he'll definitely be going to school starting in fall probably since the county is planning on cutting most of the summer school programs. My Grandma is here for one month because my parents are going to Europe tomorrow. It is really helping me to have her around. Then at the end of the month I have more family coming for the baby's blessing in June.
We are having a missionary/fellowship activity event hosted by the BYU-Hawaii alumni in Washington, D.C. It is a Polynesian dance show at the Washington, D.C. Visitor's Center this Saturday, May 12, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. Filipo and Finau are both dancing so come watch it, have some fun, and eat some good food. ok sau!
