world traveler






The end of May and beginning of June was a whirlwind!  We traveled to Florida to visit with Molly, Shanna, Liz, Nikki, Czarina (and of course Ben and Aiden) and attend our first ever Miranti Crawfish Boil.  It couldn't have been a better weekend and Ben and Otto and Aiden met for the first time.  Aiden is adorable and so big and Ben and Otto were like two little peas in a pod.  They were soooo cute and played together and cooed together and I think truly enjoyed each other's company.  Otto had a babysitter for the first time ever.  We were a little nervous to leave as we knew it would be pretty rough on both Otto and the babysitter.  And...it was!  When we returned the first thing Laurel said was "My night was interesting." Otto's not a sleeper.  Never has been.  He really prefers to be snuggled all night long and then maybe he'll snooze a bit.  Another first in Florida-Otto went in a pool.  He is a natural born swimmer.  He loved it.  We put him in a baby floatie and he just smiled and giggled.  I hope we spend every Memorial Day weekend in Fla!  Then we were off to Romania.  Our flight was actually ok.  Otto did really well and only fussed for a bit each way.  He stayed in the bassinet during meals but slept with me in my seat... whatever kept him happy!  Luckily Otto didn't suffer from too much jet lag although a few nights he would wake up a few hours after he fell asleep for the night and would remain totally awake.  The picture of him in bed with all his toys was one of those nights. Trevor had to go out in the evenings so Otto and I spent a lot of time playing with toys in the hotel room.  It was actually pretty fun!
