We were a little scared about how Olivia would do on the airplane, since she had been fussing a lot when it was time for bed, and she hadn't slept in our arms since her newborn days. However, she did awesome on the flights (other than a mini meltdown getting her diaper changed on the plane- she did not enjoy being on her back while the plane was moving). She gave lots of smiles to everyone and slept a good amount- I guess the airplane white noise helps!
Our first week in Albuquerque was FREEZING!! I was shivering and I think Olivia wasn't sure what to make of the chilly temperatures. Luckily it passed and the second week was nice and warm. During our time in Albuquerque, we went on walks in the stroller around the neighborhood, in shopping centers, and at the mall. We had a ham, a turkey, and lots of delicious New Mexican food! I also ate as many berries as I could handle (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries) and drank coffee with real half & half! The little things that we had been missing in our few months in Jamaica.
Getting spoiled being held for her naps- she wouldn't nap in the pack 'n play (probably she felt like she would miss out on the excitement happening in the rest of the house!)
Super excited! Strawberries for 99 cents per package! What!!??
Aunt Dorothy came by for a visit and joined us on a shopping trip to Target where Olivia got oodles of attention while I picked up teething tablets and saline drops!
I wasn't sure how Olivia would do with Cuba, but she didn't seem scared by her at all, and Cuba was so good with Olivia (though I think Olivia's crying freaked her out a bit!)
What an ordeal to get this little girl to sleep! I guess unfamiliar places can mess a little one up, huh?
So so happy to be with Grandma and Grandpa!
Enjoying the views from the back porch (air balloons in the early morning)
Who gets to hold her next?
Reunited with daddy! Adam missed her while he was in DC!
See? She was spoiled! Getting cuddly nap time with grandpa. Look at those chubby little legs!
Morning walks in the stroller around the neighborhood. The first week it was too cold, but by the time Adam came, it warmed up and we had to get out there early.
Went to El Charritos for some New Mexican food with Aunty Dorothy & Uncle Michael
Adam's stuff sopapilla drowning in red & green chile
Button buster! Best steakfingers (doused with a mix of red chile and their hot sauce, yum!)
Olivia is inheriting the elephant quilt that once belonged to Adam and made by his grandma
During this trip, Olivia started rolling on her belly when we put her down for bed. I was a little worried, but she wouldn't stay on her back!
Enjoying a little bit of desert before heading back to Jamaica
Happy little girl on the plane! She had a fabulous time in NM! We miss everyone already! :(
