Bubbie and Grandpa Visit

Your Bubbie and Grandpa decided to visit for a weekend.  Since it was Martin Luther King weekend they drove down to Chicago on Friday night and stayed through Monday.  They hadn't seen you since Thanksgiving and were just dying to see how much you'd grown since then, which is a lot.  So many changes in two and a half months.

Since they arrived late Friday night we didn't see them till Saturday morning.  We headed over to our favorite breakfast spot Frances diner and enjoyed a yummy brunch together.  After that we came back to the house and they spent some quality time with you.

Instead of going out for dinner we decided to order take out and have Del Seoul for dinner and then ofcourse we can't have Bubbie in town and not have cupcakes for dessert so Daddy went to get his favorite - Sweet Mandy B's. 

We also started to bring out some new items that we've been storing till you were a little older.  We started using your ABC mat, which has great traction on it and you showed us that you are almost ready to start crawling.

We also brought out your jumpy seat and you love it.  As soon as you figured out that you can bounce you were totally entertained.

After your Bubbie and Grandpa left Daddy and Mommy got ready for mommy's business trip so we spent the whole day together getting in as much snuggle time as possible.

so sad to have to leave you

It is so difficult for mommy to have to travel and be gone from you especially when it's four whole days.  The good news is that Rachel and Daddy send lots of pictures while I'm gone and we usually facetime a couple times a day so that you can see my face and hear my voice.  I can't imagine not having the ability to see you every day - thank goodness for technology.  A couple photos from the week. 

Mommy couldn't get home fast enough and you were so happy to see me.  We enjoyed some quality time together.  You love looking at yourself on mommy's phone and took your very first selfie all on your own.
