Time has flown by and my three month maternity leave is up. I'm heading back to work Monday. Marlena has experienced a lot these last 3 months. First bath, first shower, first bottle, first cold, first ear infection, first plane ride, meeting all the aunts and uncles and cousins for the first time. She didn't really experience any snow because by the time I took her out in the afternoon it had all melted...
She's a great little traveler. Didn't mind the plane at all. Spent most of the time asleep. Neither the ascent nor descent bothered her. She enjoyed meeting her cousins. Not sure how much she comprehended, but she really loved Elliot. He was able to make her smile. She also liked hanging out with Uncle Lylo - maybe because he resembles Daddy? Maybe, but she's not too impressed with Daddy at the moment. She can take him for short periods of time, but he still needs to find a way to soothe her when she gets upset. Hasn't found his trick yet. She, of course, loved being held by all her grandparents, Oma and Opa, and Grandma and Grandpa. In fact, Oma has moved in with us and will be taking care of Marlena while I go back to work.
But most people reading this site may be less interested in reading about her first three months than in seeing what she's been up to. Just click on the picture above for pictures of Vancouver, and here for more pictures...
Well, to be perfectly honest, the pictures are actually all really from the last month or so.
