Family Time

Hello Aivey,

Yay, your first visitors! Yesterday, your Uncle Jon and cousin Alyssa arrived in town. You were so overcome with excitement that you could hardly contain your lil self. You got so many new hugs and kisses and oohs and aahs. Ah, to be the baby of the family... and for me to be your proud Momma... what joy!

Alyssa is completely enchanted with you. All she wants to do is be near you, look at you, hold you, kiss you. She loves spending every minute with you while you are awake and asleep. She helped push your stroller when we took a walk to the store, helped with your bath... she sure does make a great lil mother's helper.

I think between meeting the new moms and their babies Thursday morning at our new moms group and then your family in the afternoon, you were overstimulated and didn't want to stick to your usual routine of diaper changing, eating and sleeping. Instead, you decided to have your first... hmmm... how do you say... tantrum, maybe. I just think that meeting so many new people in such a short time after you've really only been with Daddy and me for your first 16 days, you were a lil overwhelmed... understandable. We finally got you settled in quite late I might add and Mommy and Daddy managed to get a few hours sleep while the rest of your family was snoozing and snoring away to get on Cali time. And that they did... at least enough to go up to the city for a fun filled touring/exploring day and come back here to enjoy an even more fun filled night with Chinese and family fun time!

Today you were much better, altho in the morning, I got nervous when you and I were alone in the house and I started to shower and heard you start to wail. Luckily, it didn't last long and you put yourself to sleep. Otherwise, today has been the usual... lots of TJ time, diaper changes, sleepy sleepys, a quick stroll thru the hood, sponge bath time, and a great few hours in your new vibrating bouncy chair that Daddy and I got for you at Target the other day, which you LOVE!

I have to remember to get pictures of you with your New York family who loves you very very much!

XOXO
Mommy
