This year for Thanksgiving it was our turn to be with Kyle's family and so we packed up and crossed our fingers that her first plane ride would go smoothly. Kyle was scared that she would cry and people would be mad, but I was terrified that her ears would hurt and she'd be screaming in pain and I would be trapped with absolutely no way to help her. Turns out, she was great! She slept and ate and we made it the whole way without any problems.
However, once we got there, it was freezing!! But they were ready and waiting in the airport for us with two different snow suits like this just in case one was better than the other:) We thought she'd be ok, but as soon as we stepped outside we realized we were under estimating the weather and popped her right into this silly suit. She looked like a stiff little star and I just couldn't stop myslef from immediately thinking, "I can't put my arms down!" haha
Look at that sleepy little angel baby:) We wasted no time going downtown to shop and see Pike Place Market and even though I was pretty sure it was too cold for her even in this suit, she did amazingly well and slept in the Bjorn all bundled with mom. I laid her down while preparing to feed her in Nordstrom and couldn't help but take a picture of her stiff little body:)
She was in high demand the moment we arrived and I did my best to share her with all the anxious and waiting family! Luckily they eat a lot at that age so we still got some snuggle time in:)
Anabelle's seat for Thanksgiving dinner. At only two months, she was basically already too big for it. She's such a big girl!
Stephanie always decorates beautifully and has tons of accessories but my favorite part was when the kids making the seating cards made one for Anabelle! It was so fun to have our new little baby with us and to see her name up on the table with ours! Everyone knew what we were grateful for that year!
Grandpa was so patient waiting for his turns to hold Anabelle and would offer to hold her at just about every meal, waiting to eat his food until after we gotten ours. He knew it was the perfect time for everyone else to be preoccupied, but I thought it was really sweet!
Out to dinner with the family!
Beautiful sleepy head:)
I was never very good at pumping and keeping up with nursing, but when I got the chance it was so nice to give her a bottle and not have to sneak away! I loved seeing Kyle feed her with a bottle too.
Kyle had been excited to shoe shop for our kids long before we were even ready to start our family. He had so much fun when she was ready to keep shoes on those tiny feet! He is always good at mixing up the colors and outfits a bit:)
We had so much fun sharing her with all of Kyle's side of the family and felt so happy that she was so loved and adored by everyone! She was and still is our greatest blessing and our love for her has far exceeded any expectation either of us could have ever had! Some things are worth waiting for. We can't get enough of this happy,beautiful, and sweet girl!
