Busy Busy Busy!

Let's see, since the last post Kaida has visited 5 states, had her first Christmas and New Years, and met a whole bunch more of her family.

Christmas was in Buffalo with my family. We spent Christmas Eve at Aunt Manda, Uncle Tim, Tara, and Ryan's house. Then we went to church to watch Tara and Ryan in their pageant.

Christmas Day we opened presents with Grammy and Poppy and then went to Uncle Matt, Aunt Sam, and Lucas's house.
We were going to have Turkey for dinner but by the time we got home it would have taken much to long to cook Tom. So we had chinese again just like last year!

On Sunday we went to Sue's house so Kaida got to meet more of my cousins. She napped for a very long time but when she woke up she let Pat, Johnny, Kim, and Sue hold her.

Monday we were pretty lazy. Mom and I went to the fisher price store as soon as Kaida went down for a nap. Unfortunately she woke up right after we left and didn't fall asleep again until right before we got back. Silly baby. But she got some cool stuff! An infant swing for the tree outside where my swing is right now, a whale for the bath tub that sprays water, and an elephant that clicks when you move his joints.

Tuesday we came home to Pittsburgh.

Wednesday we did a ton of laundry and packed everything back up again. We left for Tennessee at 7pm. We drove to just East of Cincinnati and stopped for the night at a hotel. She slept the whole way there.

Thursday morning we had breakfast and went for Kaida's first swim! We used a fuzzibunz without the insert as a swim diaper and it worked really well. We should buy a swim diaper though since the chlorine would be bad for it if we used a regular diaper all the time. We drove the rest of the way to Aunt Joyce and Uncle Steve's house and got there in time for dinner.

Friday we hung around the house, fished a little, took a walk, and went out for mexican! For our New Year's celebration there were fire works and champagne. It's cool that their house is right on the lake.

Saturday was pretty gloomy so we went to Dick's to get out of the house. Aunt Joyce and Uncle Steve needed to pick up a kayak they had bought and everyone went along (Mom, Dad, Randy, his girlfriend Sam, Aunt Joyce, Uncle Steve, Anthony, JR, Kaida, and Me!). On the way home we drove through their neighborhood to see some of the big houses. They're pretty impressive.
After dinner we packed up and headed out. We were hoping she would sleep the whole way like she did on the way down. We were not so lucky. We drove to Florence, KY to spend the night.

Today we drove the rest of the way and now we're home. Yay!
I think Kaida was excited to be home. She was definitely excited to see the cats. Hopefully she doesn't get bored with just me this week.
