Love from Minnesota

A few weeks ago we took Audrey to Minnesota. She got to meet her Uncle Anders, Aunt Kristen, and cousin Anders for the first time. She also got to meet Auntie Cookie and lots of our friends. It was a great trip! It involved flying and sleeping away from home for the first time, but doots did great.

We planned both our flights so they would be during nap time. But, of course, both were late. So Audrey was ready to go to sleep before the planes were ready for us. Fortunately, both times she broke character and fell asleep while I was holding her so we were able to keep the crying on the plane to a minimum. She was a travel trooper. She nursed during take off and landing and slept in between. Thankfully the flight is only about an hour and a half long.

Baby's first flight.

Made it to Minnesota.

We weren't sure how things would go in Minnesota. Audrey was still sleeping in her bouncy chair at home. She was in a pack and play at grandma and grandpas' house. She did great! So great we moved her to her crib when we got home. 

We had a great time hanging out with the Nelson side of the family. Doots loves her aunts and uncles and really liked watching her big cousins play! Her cousins think she is alright as well. Especially Luke, he really loves her. It is super cute.

 Luke loved sitting with Audrey. Well, he loved it until she got heavy. Then he was ready to be done hanging out with the baby.

 Grandma also loved hanging out with all her beautiful grandbabies. Anders loves grandma to pieces. Audrey does too, but she loves most people equally at this point in her life. As long as you don't snuggle her too tight she a pretty happy lady. I'm sure that will change eventually.

Seth also took a turn holding Audrey. Such a big kid.

I got to see some of my best lady friends (and Justin) while we were in town. It was super great to see them and they were all super excited to meet Audrey!

Audrey decided to show off while we were there and rolled over from her back to her tummy for the first time. She has been going as far as her side for quite awhile but she usually gets stuck on her arm. But she made it all the way over. She was just rolling from side to side on her blanket and then, boom, she was on her tummy and not at all happy. She still hates being on her tummy for more than a couple minutes. If she rolls over we know pretty much right away cause she starts screaming for someone to flip her back to her back. Eventually she will figure out how to do that on her own too.
