My mom and I have been in the US for almost one whole month. It was really fun to spend so much time with Nene and Pops and to meet more of my family and Mom's friends.
I...
- had a fun sleepover with Brooke and Dave
- loved the Baltimore aquarium with Uncle Mark, Aunt Carrie, Matthew and Nathan
- am happy that Auntie Christine got married to Uncle Kevin
- am sad that Auntie Meghan didn't have her baby in time for me to meet my new cousin
- love Nene and Pops' doggy Belle and Auntie Meghan's doggy Homer
- did way too much shopping with my mom
- did not sleep very much
- fell in love with Cheerios
- drank from a bottle for the first time
- learned how to wave hello and goodbye (for real)
- repeatedly stole Pops' glasses from him
- got to see all but one of mom's closest girlfriends (sorry, Abs!)
- did not get any new teeth
- started to say "Mama" when my mom enters or leaves the room
- dressed up for Halloween with Michael, Sean, and Molly
- laughed and played with Nene and Pops every day!
- pushed myself all around on my belly, but did not start to crawl on all fours
- spent one night away from my mom for the first time (and we both survived without too many tears)
- and most of all I REALLY REALLY REALLY missed my Far and cannot wait to see him when I get back to Kenya on Wednesday night
On top of all that, today I turned 8 months old!
Mom says to tell you that she will post some pictures from our month (she barely took any though...can you believe it?!) and tell you more about our trip in a few days when we are settled back in Nairobi.Wish us an easy-with-lots-of-sleeping trip back to Kenya. We leave tomorrow night!
Love, Grace
