Today was the big day to go see baby Allison! Not only did the four of us go down, but Maryanne and Nicholas joined us too. So it was a full car for the ride down to Chula Vista!
Ali is just adorable. Although she has a little bit of dark hair, because she has light eyebrows, I think she'll end up a little blondie like her momma. And despite having Addi just 10 months ago, I have completely forgotten just how tiny brand new babies are. Addi looked enormous next to Ali, which is funny considering Addi is on the smaller side for her age.
True to form, the little gal slept for most of our visit. Suzie & Steve say that they have a hard time getting her to wake up to nurse. At that point I stopped feeling bad when my kids would start crying and throwing their fits. I figured what the heck, if they wake the baby up, they're just helping her feed! (That of course is my rationalization to make me feel less guilty about Drew & Addi throwing their fits.)
Suzie looks great and Steve doing pretty good with the diaper changing.
Since the boys weren't really interested in a new baby, they forced Uncle Steve to be master of ceremonies. And boy did he deliver. It's amazing how much fun that kids can have with the ultimate toy....an empty cardboard box! We of course checked out their neighborhood park (where of course Nicholas was taking tips from Drew on how to jump off of things to Maryanne's chagrin....gotta love the bad influence!)
