Mommy & Daddy's 1 week Vacation

Well, we just got back from our vacation (of 1 week!!!) today - this was the longest that we had been away from you EVER!!!! It was really hard to leave you last week, and though we tried to Facetime, I think it was really hard on us all. I got really upset because I didn't think you missed us, and then the 2nd time we tried it, you seemed to be confused and upset. :(

While we were on the cruise, we did not have access to a phone, but we did email with GaGa and GrAndi! GaGa stayed with you at our house while we were gone, and from the sounds of it, you two had a BALL!!!!! Sounds like you were on your BEST behavior. GaGa told me that you went to the mall and rode the choo choo train, and the carousel. And yesterday, GaGa took you to a very ritzy place for lunch in Kenwood - Trio! :) You had lunch with GaGa, Auntie Jill and Auntie Jill's friend, Katie! Normally you can be kind of a hot mess for long periods of time at restaurants, but GaGa said you were GREAT!!!! :) You had a gourmet grilled cheese sandwich - YUM!! After lunch, you went to Kenwood and GaGa bought you flashy silver shoes called Tom's! They are soooo cute on you!

GaGa definitely had you on a good schedule!!! You slept 12 hours, and would normally wake up around 10:30am! Eeek - might be a challenge tomorrow morning when I have to wake you up at 7:00am! :( You definitely are talking A LOT more, and your words, phrases, requests, etc are definitely more and more clear. You are now saying "I love you," "thank you," "here you go," and can sometimes count to TEN (with assistance!)

I was sooo excited to see you this morning when we landed!!! You seemed a little confused when you saw us for the first time since last week, but QUICKLY warmed up which I loved!!! You were extra cuddly today.

Okay - time to go night night!!!!! :) So glad to be home!
