What a fantastic time we had in California visiting my grandparents (Kayla's great-grandparents)! Kayla is at such a fun age right now.. She fell in love with Gramie and Grandad and they with her. She did not hold any kisses back from Gramie...I think Gramie received more kisses in a weekend then the rest of us have gotten in her whole existence. And she enjoyed her time with Grandad and Cody (their puppy) so much...she loved sitting on his lap and by the end of the trip was clinging to his leg like she does mine when she's uncertain about something. W
e went to the park, went shopping at Stanford, had a great lunch out at Cali Cafe, visited the children's library, took walks and enjoyed the absolutely beautiful weather!!! And Kayla also got to meet her Uncle Marcus and her cousins Amanda, Jacob and Jordan. It was nice having mom to assist in entertaining Kayla on our 5+ hour flight as that's not the easiest job...especially when you have a baby girl who is into everything.
She especially loved the flight out where mom (Gramie) let her ride naked in just her diaper the whole way! They just don't make those rows on the plane wide enough - I seriously don't know how anyone could travel with a toddler on their lap without forever scarring both themselves and their child - very important for both of us that she had her own seat! But all went well. Kayla is starting to run which sometimes - when chasing after things - she gets ahead of herself and falls on her face. In one weekend she got a busted lip (from falling over while trying to look under every dressing room to find her mommy), a bloody nose (from chasing after a ball on the way to the park and falling on her face) and a black eye (from tripping over her blanket while running after a friend at daycare). So needless to say - I hope this is just a passing trait and not a sign of things to come (i.e. her accident proneness of her father :-)
There is nothing better than coming home to that little angel - her smiles, her hugs and her kisses - as well her attempts at telling us her thoughts and feelings - are what life is all about - I feel truly blessed! How did I get so lucky!
