Happy Baby

Hi Everyone,

Well Addie and I had an enjoyable trip up to Duluth to visit my parents and grandparents. Addie was wonderful in the car. She was asleep within 2 minutes of being in the car. I must say it made the drive go very smooth. I don't think I would have been able to handle the drive to Duluth by myself if she wasn't such a good baby.

Wednesday: We had a nice afternoon. We met my parents, Norrie (adopted Auntie) & Sean for lunch. Addie was such a good girl, she continued to sleep through most of the lunch. After lunch we went back to my parents house and I had fed & changed Addie's diaper. No sooner she was screaming at the top of her lungs. I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Not hungry, not dirty...I started to look around at her. She had a fist-full of her own hair and was pulling it out! Poor little girl had a death grip on her own hair. It took me a little bit to peel her fingers open. My mom came down and said that she was so happy we were sleeping in the back room because they wouldn't have to listen to her cry. I told my mom that she really doesn't ever cry and what had happened. She just laughed. It is pretty funny. Later that night, Addie was able to see her Great Grandma Nammy (maternal side) again at dinner. It was fun to have 4 generations of women in the room.

Thursday: We had a nice relaxing day with Grandma. We just bummed around the house, took a nap or two and then leisurly got ready for dinner that night with my other set of Grandparents. This was the first time that Addie was able to meet Great Grandma and Grandpa Raimo. They were pretty excited to meet her. We had a lovely dinner.

Friday: After sleeping in, we got ready for the day. Addie had another big day. We went to lunch again with my parents, Sean, Nammy and my Great Aunt Shirley and her son Rick. It was special for Addie to meet her Great-Great Aunt. After lunch was over, it was time to drive back home. At first Addie wasn't happy to be stuck in her carseat and was crying. I finally just decided that we needed to get going. Sure enough, she was out cold. We had a smooth drive home.

Daddy was happy that we were home. He was a little lonely with no one to talk to but Yummy. We were pretty low key this weekend and didn't go out unless we really had to.

Hope you're all doing well and enjoying the longer days. Just think spring is around the corner!!

Until next time,
Love Tiff (Trav & Addie too)
