Week 41-January 26-February 1-Hi Baby! We went to Vegas to visit Babulia and Dadulia for their 40th anniversary. It was fun, but not really a place for babies. There is so much smoke everywhere, even on the non-smoking floors of hotels. You were an angel the entire drive, 5 hours, out there. Papa's folks were so excited to see you, they hugged and kissed and giggled with you the entire time. You stayed up late, and loved all of the blinking lights that the city has to offer. As much as we tried to keep you on a schedule, it never is the same as when we are home living our routine. So you stayed up late late late. We were only there four days, but by the second day, you were over-stimulated and worn out. Thursday night, the night we arrived, we all went to dinner to celebrate. Friday night, Papa, you and I went out to dinner with my cousin Howie and his wife, Sonila. Baba and Dada went to go see a show. It was a little late for you and so I ended up taking you out to the car to nurse and you fell asleep in the dark peacefulness of the night. On Saturday night, Papa and I went to see a show and Baba and Dada watched you. It was so much fun to be out in a city like Vegas. We walked around, talked, ate and took in all the sights. We finally got home at one in the morning and went to pick you up. You were out like a light in Baba's arms. Very sweet to see. I know it lit up her whole trip. We went to a breakfast buffet and Papa fed you lots of yummy food, which you happily gobbled up. You are a great eater. You will eat whatever we are eating! While we were there, you perfected your first word. Da Da Da! You have said other sounds repeatedly before, but this is the first time you will repeat it, if we say it, which makes it officially your first word. Most babies first word is "No", but yours is yes. Such a positive, beautiful angel girl we have. We really couldn't have gotten any luckier. You are absolutely perfect, and charming! It was a fun, whirlwind trip, and then we went home. You slept most of the way, which made the drive easier for your father and I to have some time to connect with each other. You are so pleasant to be around and to travel with honey, you are truly the perfect child. I love love love you!
