You were SO good in Buffalo. You got to hang out with your cousin Shayna.
You were really great with her, and tried to show her how to play with some toys.
Though you had started to walk more and more, you REALLY took off at Grandma Betsy's house! Everyone was so amazed because a little less than a month before, when everyone was at your house for your 1st birthday, you were still holding onto furniture. Amazing what 3 1/2 weeks can do! You also learned (taught yourself) how to turn around, and go down a stair. You're so brave!
Friday night, we celebrated Great Grandma Rita's 79th birthday.
She loves you so much, and was so happy that you were there to celebrate with her. You tasted challah for the first time, and LOVED it! The next day was Aunt Kinneret's Bridal Shower. Again, you were REALLY on your best behavior, and was dressed perfectly!! Grandma Betsy had bought your outfit from last night, and for the shower.
You and cousin Shayna had matching outfits. You both looked so cute!! You were fascinated by the gold wrapping paper Aunt Kinneret used to wrap the hostess gifts. Who knew such things would be your favorite "toys"?The next day (Sunday), we had to leave Buffalo because mommy and daddy were going on a trip. This was the first time that I was away from you since I had you over a year ago. I started tearing up as we got closer to the airport. It was really hard for me to leave you. I was so used to your sounds, and getting up with you in the morning. It was so strange to leave without you, but I knew you'd be in great hands - you'd be with GrAndi. Luckily we were able to Skype with you Monday and Tuesday because we were still in the states. Wed and Thurs, we were in the Bahamas, but I still emailed because I just couldn't go 24 hours without some form of communication. GrAndi said that you did GREAT!! I really think she had a lot of fun with you, though you certainly kept her busy with all of your "running" around.
Friday (4/15), we came home. We were gone for 6 days, and I couldn't wait to get home to you. When we got off of the plane, GrAndi had brought you inside the airport. I teared up again when I ran to you. I was so excited to see you, and to me, you looked even more grown up! You even got another tooth while we were gone, so now you have 6 teeth!!
It was so funny, though, I wanted you to just cling to me, you reached for your daddy. It was so cute. I am so glad that you love him so much because he loves you SOOOO much too!!! While daddy waited for our bags, you were literally walking the entire airport. I could barely keep up with you!
GrAndi stayed for the weekend and flew home yesterday. During the weekend, you tried spaghetti (plain) and chocolate milk. (YOU LOVED THE CHOCOLATE MILK) Right before we took her to the airport, we went to her favorite restaurant, CiCi's Pizza Buffet. I don't think you were too impressed, but GrAndi certainly was!!
