We are on Maui.
The Plane trip went surprisingly well. We got the bulkhead seat, so Hana had about three feet of space to play around on the floor in front of us. We put down blankets and pillows and a bunch of toys and she had a great time. And when it was time to nap, she climbed up into my lap and drifted off to sleep. She took two big naps, and played and ate and made faces at the people sitting behind us and hardly fussed at all. And when we got to Maui she was all confused because she thought it was time for bed, but the sun was shining brightly and so she woke back up. We kept her up until 8pm Maui time, and then she was pretty much on Maui time. I think she had a little jet lag, but not too much. The first night she woke up scared in her new room, but since then she has been fine.
And she seems to really love all her family here. She plays with her big cousin Shaydie who is 4, and all of her Aunties and Uncles and especially Grandma and Obachan. Every body says Hana is so cute, and such a happy baby. She has been very friendly and lets every one hold her. Also, Hana likes all the animals here. Obachan has a little Pekinese dog names Otis. He barks all the time, but her likes Hana. And Uncle Michael has a big black Lab who also seems to like Hana. He runs by her and gives her a big lick. AAAAHHH. but, she doesn't seem to mind. Good grief.
And, Hana is getting better with her pre-walking. She loves to go outside and walk around holding on to a grown-ups hands. She can't do it on her own yet, but it looks like it could be soon.
And, of course, she loves the food here. Mangos for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Yum.
