shots and shave ice

So Nohea is now two months old! She went for her two month check up and had to get shots on Wednesday :/ She did alright though. Since we were at Kaiser, Jack needed to get a TB test so that he can start preschool. They always have a shot nurse on duty so we didn't even have to make an appointment. After the little miss got settled in and calmed down nursing, we made our way to the other peds office. I stayed in the waiting room while Jack went in with Dad, apparantly I give my poor child anxiety. I try not to but tried to take the approach of letting him know what was happening and why as opposed to getting ambushed at the Dr's office like when I was little. Well, that seems to only get him worked up. He doesn't quite freak but his poor little armpits start sweating and he gets little sweat beads on his nose... Darn mama. Well, Dad gave Jack his sunglasses (for bravery of course) and he was a trooper. He also had to get the second half of his Chicken Pox vaccine and asked to have it in the arm (where he could see it!) instead of the leg. Of course he did just fine :)
All this bravery deserved a treat lunch so we went to Teri Hawaii in Gardena for Saimin Noodles and a tropical shave ice with ice cream in the bottom! They were good kids all in all.

I also did my very first hula show of the season and post baby! Cissy and I gave hula lessons at a birthday party in San Pedro and because I'm still nursing the baby, she came and hung out with Daddy and Uncle Craig... They say she hollared for 45 minutes but by the time they picked us back up, she was sleeping like and angel (in the car seat that she doesn't seem to loathe as much anymore!). In all the hullaballoo, I didn't get a chance to take any pictures of us all dressed up in our mu'u mu'us. Next time :)

Tommy (Robert's dad) is touring with the show Dinosaurs and they're in Bakersfield tonight. Robert and Jack are going to see the show! He's excited to see Grandpa and take a trip with his dad. I wanted to go but am not quite brave enough to face 2 1/2 hours each way with a potentially pissed off baby ;)

We normally host an Easter Brunch at our house but aren't this year as we're still adjusting to the little miss. Instead, we'll be blessing her here at the house Sunday afternoon. I'll be sure to blog and post pictures about that special day!
