Last Day in Rhody Island :(

 Well, I am back home safe and sound after another successful flight. It was a fun last day in Rhody Island, though. I first got some good Happy Baby time in with grandpa. (Check out me enjoying tummy time on the hoppy in photo #1).

 Then, I went and met my new friend Rhys (Momma's friend Mary's new 3 week old baby). I am a lot bigger than him but I can tell we are going to be great friends. After snuggling with Grandpa while he rocked me to sleep back at the house, I headed to Great Grams & Gramps' for one last snuggle session with them and Great Aunt Sally. 

Grandpa picked us up and brought us to Grandma's Providence office where she got to be a very proud Grandma and show me off to everyone. (Check out pictures of me getting baby physical therapy from Grandma below). 

Then, it was off to the airport. Grandma sat in back and chatted with me while Momma drove, and then she got to come all the way to the gate with us. The flight was pretty good - I was mad on the jetway because Momma didn't preboard and we had to stand in line, and I fussed a bit after we were in the air at first, but then I was sound asleep after the first hour and a half. I kept sleeping even when Uncle Mitra and Auntie Nicole picked us up and brought us home. When I woke up, Brother Kobe was licking my face and Auntie Nicole was snuggling with me. A nice end to a big day!

 We were so sad to say good-bye to everyone but are so glad that we were able to come when I was so little. I love all my RI family very much and I can't wait to see them in July.

Good night!

We're Goin' to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo... How about you...you...you?

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the delay! I have just been so wiped out at the end of each night, especially last night!  My big adventure was going to the zoo with Momma, Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Jay Jay.  I loved the elephants (just like in my room!), zebras, penguins, giraffes, and pink flamingoes. Those animals were all so much excitement that I fell asleep for the rest of the zoo. I can't wait to go back and revisit with I am older.

After the zoo, I went to GG Aunt Sally's house to visit with her and meet her new children (canary children that is). I snuggled with her as well as GGrams and GGramps.  Then, I came home and Facetimed with Daddy and Grandma and Grandpa gave me a bottle. It was fun to snuggle with them and get my favorite thing - milk. :)

Photos of the zoo were taken with the big camera, but here are some shots of GGAunt Sally and I and Grandpa feeding me.

Before we went to the zoo, Grandma, Grandpa, Momma & Uncle Jay gave me a bath. It was fun!

We tried to go to the mall to take a family photo (Momma made us all coordinate in blue) but we didn't have an appointment, so we took one in the backyard! 

Four generations!

Meeting the rest of my Rhody family!

Another fun and busy day visiting more people who love me. My morning started off with a visit from second cousin Marisa, followed by a visit from Great Great Aunt Molly who rocked me in the rocking chair until I fell asleep. Then, Uncle Jay Jay & Auntie Rebecca came over and we played with Grandma & Grandpa and then they had Sunday dinner (which I slept through.. Being a happy baby is hard work!).

Afterwards, Momma took me to Roger Williams Park where I met up with Danielle, Josh and my little friend Carly to take pictures by the cherry blossoms and then play in the playground. (Well, Carly played - I napped).  We ended the day with a visit at GGrams & Gramps' to meet Great Uncle Charlie & Aunt Linda and 2nd Cousin Kristin & Mike. I was a dapper lad at this soirée, as evidenced by the photo below. How could I not charm everyone in this outfit? :)

  

Also, here's a pic of me & Uncle Jay Jay bouncing. I think he likes me just a little bit. :)
Bonus pic - face timing with Daddy at bedtime. Still searching for that strong resemblance everyone keeps seeing.

Meeting LOTS of friends!

Hi everyone,

Today I met lots more special people! First, I hung out with G&G in the morning. They got to see my happy baby morning smiles. Then, I met Dave (Wilbur) and Pat at their house and enjoyed the sun out on the deck. 

We went back home and Auntie Shiri, Matt, Gaby & Mia came to visit. We had a cookout and then walked to Greenwood School's playground. They all loved me and wanted to cuddle, especially the girls. They are the older women of all my girlfriends (4 & 7). 

We stopped by Great G&G's house briefly so that thru could get their daily cuddles before heading off to dinner at Chelo's with Mommy's friends Josh, Kirsten and Jill. Mommy got to eat clam cakes and chowder. She said it was yummy. 

Then we went to Danielle's house where I met another girlfriend, Carly Cate. She's almost 3... Another older woman. I fell asleep there - charming all these people is so exhausting - and the attached picture is me all cuddled in my car seat before getting strapped in to come home. :) The first photo is me and my cute hat that helped block the sun today. As you can see from my expression, I wasn't so sure about it.
