We had a Hawaiian Thanksgiving! On Wednesday night a bunch of people got together for the emu; which is how they usually cook the kalua pig. But this time everyone put their turkeys in as well, so they would be ready for the next day. It was quite a process, and it was fun to watch it all being done. And the turkey was delicious the next day.
We bought a waterproof camera so we could get pictures like this while snorkeling :)
We thought it would be smart since we're in Hawaii.
Brett's mom came for a week and this was her last night here as we went to the beach for the sunset.
Austin screams and screams when he's tired. Which is a lot of the time since he doesn't sleep much...ever.
So when he gets himself to that breaking point, he isn't really sure what's wrong, so he just screams.
Then all of the sudden he stops, and he's asleep.
In the top picture I didn't know what else to do to try and help him calm down so I laid him on the couch and leaned over him just holding him, and he stopped all of the sudden. And that is how I left him. Granted, he didn't stay asleep for long because he never does - especially on his back. But it was cute anyways.
Then on Sunday Brett put him in all different comfortable positions trying to get him to calm down. He put himself in this one and was all the sudden asleep.
Whatever works I guess.
BYU vs. Hawaii Game Day!! Don't worry. He knows how to make the Y already :) We taught him early.
And it's been six weeks already.
Time goes way too fast with this little guy.
Austin got his first feel of the sand and water :)
And we went kayaking.
And another pretty sunset. Of course.
It is amazing being a mom.
I have a love/hate relationship with your blog. I love you guys and seeing what you're up to. But I hate how jealous I get every time I see that you guys are in gorgeous Hawaii, and all the neat-o stuff you're doing. . .
ReplyDeleteSo I won't make any promises, but the sleeping thing usually starts to get better after 6 weeks. Just hold in there! I'm impressed by your patience and diligence in finding a comfortable position though. Have you tried swaddling? Not all babies like it. Naomi hated it but Chloe's rather fond of it. I love seeing pictures of you guys *with* Austin. It makes it more real. He's so cute and looks like such a boy. I love seeing you as a mom!
ReplyDeleteSooo cute Courtney!! Seriously, that kid has so much personality. haha. Those Hawaii pictures are beautiful! You seem like y'all are doing great!
