AZ pics and video...great time!

I've had a few family members ask about our trip to AZ 2 weeks ago...I'm sorry it's taken a while to get this uploaded :) We went to visit Alan, Steph and our sweet niece, Nora. We loved every minute and were able to repay them for their help when we had Adelyn. We were able to help cook meals and hold Nora and look after her so her parents could have a few child free minutes :)

Nora is so sweet! She is adorable and I LOVED cuddling with her. She is definitely a Flies in that her napping skills are nill :) We did figure out how to rig her up on her boppy and she seemed to like it b/c she slept longer (she usually wakes up when you put her down...so she was taking her naps on mom and dad!) as far as I know, they are still keeping her on the boppy :)

Adelyn was so funny...she's in her "grabby" stage and is reaching for EVERYTHING...every time you set her down next to Nora, she'd look at her like "ooh, can I play with you? You look interesing..." and she reach and try and grab her face.....a few times she succeeded...Nora took it in stride and handled it very well :) You should have seen us trying to distract Adelyn so Steph could get pictures of her and Nora together! Quite funny I hafta say...

It wasn't typical AZ summer weather while we were there....it was pretty mild....I think the hottest it go while we were there was 110 (compared to the 115, 120 degrees they normally have). It even rained our first night there! We took Adelyn out to their pool a couple of times. I swear we have a water bug on our hands...she could be in the worst mood and the minute she's in water, she's happy and talking and splashing....makes bathtime my way out of a super crabby baby some nights :)

We went out to eat our last night there...little Nora's first dining out experience...she did great! Of course she attracted alot of attention from other diners....how could you not notice her, though? So cute.

The plane ride both ways went great. Adelyn yacked and played and stared at people the whole time. It was naptime both times we were in the air, but does our child sleep? Never. She stayed awake most of the time....made friends with passengers and flight attendants alike...aside from a spilled orange juice incident on the way home and dad changing a super smelly dirty diaper in the plane bathroom (he lost to rock paper scissors for it...ha), both flights were incident free :)

It was a FANTASTIC trip and we were sad (as always) to leave. Alan and Steph (and Nora!) we miss you so much. Thank you for letting us crash for a few days :) We love you so much.
