The past two weeks in the Northwest have been filled with family, friends, food, new babies (!!), cuddles and a whole lot of infant development. I had hoped to keep up with the blog, but couldn't tear myself away from the fun long enough to type! Here are some highlights:
Chio's new best friend, Mr. Caterpillar, arrived right before we headed to the airport. Chio instantly fell for his big eyes and numerous fun features. Throughout the trip he provided entertainment and comfort for Chio, especially in the car. Thanks Aunt Amy and Uncle Andy!
We had hoped to travel light, avoiding the cliche of the over-packed new parents, but ended up taking one suitcase each (Christian shared with Chio's clothes, I had extra diapers in my suitcase), the Snap-and-Go stroller and her highchair, her diaper bag, Chris's backpack and my purse. Not too bad.
She did great on the flights, no fussing. Daddy was awesome, walking her up and down the aisle. She breastfed during take off and i think it helped.
Tia Jessie picked us up from the airport. We drove to Shelton where Grandpa Eddie was celebrating his birthday.
Chio met her new cousin Mariah Socorro also known as Coco. We were excited to see that she had a chin dimple too:)
She met Maggie and her Comadre Cleo.
We celebrated Mother's Day with locally made food:)
The next day we were visited by friends Bibiana and Alexis.
The wonderful Trejo family also paid us a visit.
We were lucky enough to be able to stay with Kandi, Aaron and Lazlo (in their new house!) while they awaited a new member of their family.
We passed the time by making cupcakes, gardening, playing scrabble, napping, going for walks. It was good quality time with people we love.
And soon,
Sweet baby Louis was born!!
It was amazing to be present during Kandi's labor and the birth of Louis. The house was full of babies, love and Midwives!!
To be continued...
