Well, we arrived to the states about 5 days ago after what I would call a relatively smooth trip. We got bulkhead seats for both legs of our flights (Yay!) and Reina did amazing. What's crazy is, she was amazing and she didn't sleep much. I'm talking like 2.5 hours in a 24hour span. This means she was quiet A LOT....just taking everything in. She did get a bit cranky the last hour or so, but let's face it, we all were! Since arriving we've seen lots of people. Dad and Romeni picked us up at the airport, and then we all hung out in Portland for a night. It was great to see family right away, and to have them there to take care of us! Then we drove up to Tacoma to see Aunt Debbie and Jess. Debbie took great care of us, and it was a nice stopping place before we headed up to Bellingham to see our college friends.
Now we're staying with Karen, Joe, and Sydney (also 18months) and Reina is having a blast. Sydney and Reina seem to be trading tricks, and thus far Reina has learned how to "meow" and sing. She has also mastered the cheese face (which I am thinking might be a bit unfortunate!). The girls love taking baths together and usually enjoy playing together, even though they are still learning how to share. I've managed to get in some shopping and Chris has been able to watch some soccer, so we're all pretty happy. We saw our good friends Liliana and Celeo, and JP and Elyse on the fourth too! There is some bad news. Reina has not been sleeping well at night. We have been fortunate with her in this department thus far - usually we put her in her crib and she goes to sleep. Since we've been in the States she doesn't want to go down for bed at all and has actually been sleeping with us (NOT good!). But, last night she slept most of the night in the pack and play, so I'm hoping we're making progress.
