Today we went to see Dr. Yano for Gianna's 6 month check-up. She weighs 17 lbs. 12 oz. and is 27 in. tall. She got her 3rd set of shots.

After the doctor's appointment, Gigi was exhausted. She fell asleep on the ride home, so Papa and I decided to have breakfast at The Kahala. We saw Auntie Ana there. :) We had a nice breakfast, and Gigi woke up at the end to say hello to everyone and to drink their special water.

For the rest of the day we all stayed in to watch the Final Four. Gigi is a little out of sorts, but she's much better than I expected. She and I are going to go to Wahiawa soon to take care of Kumadog. I hope everything goes well tonight.

They say a picture is worth a 1000 words...here's Gigi in the cosleeper in John's bedroom. When we got to Wahiawa, Gianna was fast asleep in the carseat. I had time to feed Kuma, and then the three of us went for a short walk. Kuma enjoyed the dinner and the walk.

Then I fed Gigi some cereal and sweet potatoes. She was sleepy, so I bathed her after she finished her dinner. At 6:20 PM, I had her dressed in her PJ's. I read to her for a little while, and I noticed that she was tired, so I put her in her "crib". She cried, of course, but I sang her a lullaby, then I left. Tonight my schedule is supposed to be 15 min., 20 min., and 25 min. for the rest of the night. After only 10 minutes, the crying stopped. I peeked in and saw Gigi on her belly. I could hear her mumbling, as if she were talking in her sleep. I stayed there for a few minutes to make sure that she could breathe okay. By the end of the first 15 minutes, Gigi was fast asleep. She's been asleep for over an hour now.

She's still on her belly, but her face is turned to the side so that she can breathe clearly. Papa called to check on us. :) I hope all goes well for the rest of the night.
