By Dec 30 the weather had let up a bit. Assuming that our house probably wouldn't become damaged further during the week ahead, we decided to make a belated Christmas flight to Boise to see family and introduce Vince to everyone. Vince had his 2 month appt on the 31st so we flew that evening. Here are some pictures from our trip.
I had gotten him out of his car seat and was holding him with my nursing wrap at my side and his binkie in my other hand, ready for the baby cries as we took off... and he SLEPT right through it! He actually slept the ENTIRE flight!
We don't make a habit of co-sleeping, but I thought this picture was too cute not to share!
Vince snoozing in Aunt Melissa's arms - getting kicked by his cousin who is due to arrive in May. Can't wait to meet her!
This may not look that significant, but this is the first time Vince has actually slept laying flat! He's been in a bouncy/vibrating chair for the incline since we brought him home. In fact, laying him flat is how we'd wake him up early on so that he would continue eating because he always fell asleep in the middle of meal time. Hopefully this means we can transition him to his crib mattress soon! (He does still prefer the chair.)
We had a great visit with John and Sarah. Sarah's holding Vince and John's holding their "baby" basset hound "Addy".
Vince and his Great Grandma.
3-generation pic. My Mom was supposed to come too but wasn't able to due to the bad weather. We'll hopefully get a 4-generation pic later this year.
Out cold in Aunt Sandi's arms.
Meeting Aunt Robbin and cousin Samuel.
Meeting cousin Arika.
Cuddling with Mommy - Sunday morning.
Cuddling with Grandma.
Having lunch with Jodi. Not only did she get to meet Vince, but we got to meet her boyfriend Joe. It was great catching up with Jodi and meeting Joe!
Chillin' in his hoody from Grandma.
Vince's 2nd flight - again slept the whole way! I left him in his car seat this time and he was out cold the entire time. Our flight was even delayed from leaving for an hour while they used the de-icers. We got out right as another winter storm was hitting Boise. Good thing we got the early morning flight!
Hopefully we'll make another trip to Boise soon to see the rest of our friends and family that we missed this time... and to get two 4-generation pictures (my side and Brian's) taken. If we time it right, we'll also be able to meet Vince's new little cousin (arriving in May)! I'll keep you posted. :-)
Our little guy sure is smiling a lot lately and we love it! It's hard to catch with the camera though so I was glad I got this one.
He was also all smiles yesterday morning when I put him in his Bumbo chair for the first time. He was quite content sitting there for quite a while - he gets sick of everything else pretty quickly (the swing, the floor, his rocking chair, the Pack n Play, etc).
I took him in to the doc yesterday and had him weighed. At 3 months he's 13 lbs 13 oz. That's almost 2 lbs in 1 month! The boy knows how to eat! :-)
