We are back!

Time for a little (big) recap of our trip :).

We flew down to Atlanta on Saturday and our little angel did great even though we woke her up at 4:30am and put her straight into the car seat. Luckily she let us put her down at 6pm (2 hours early) the night before so she wasn't as tired in the morning.
The day never stopped being very busy for everyone because as soon as we got to our destination, Maja and Jeff dropped me off to get my hair cut and they went to pick up Liam's birthday cake since Ron and Shelley weren't back in town yet. We barely made it in time for our family photos at Piedmont Park that afternoon.

After that we finally met Ron, Shelley, Liam, Chloe and a few of their family members for dinner at Uncle Julio's in Buckhead (did I mentioned that up until then, we haven't eaten more then a couple granola bars and a bag of chips all day?) Liam was super excited to see us and even Chloe seemed happier to see me then last time :).
Maja continued being a little trooper and took a little nap while we ate although she did have a lovely blowout up her back which ended with her undershirt in the trash! Hmm... first day in disposables and a huge mess.... coincidence? maybe Mommy forgot how to use those already, haha. Then we went to hang out with everyone at their house.

We spent the first two night at a hotel and our awesome sleeper proved herself even better! Each night she fell asleep at Ron&Shelley's and then let us put her in the car seat when we were ready to go, drive to the hotel, get her all the way up into the room and into her crib sleeping right through everything! What have we done to deserve such an amazing baby?

The next day was just as busy as the first one minus the early wake up call (well... Maja did wake up at 5am to eat but went right back to sleep). We started off at the Jumping Bean to celebrate Liam's 4th birthday! He had the coolest white tiger theme ever :)


Liam's 4th Birthday party


Later that day we were invited to Aidan M's 4th birthday party. Aidan and Liam are classmates and we had lots of playdates together last year. Here's the birthday boy himself and below Maja is hanging out with his baby brother. Callan is 3 weeks younger then Maja but has some crazy good head control. I hope you took notes baby girl!



Aidan's 4th birthday party


In the evening we were back at the house where we watched Liam open a couple of his presents




The day also marked a very big milestone for Maja... she rolled over from belly to back for the first time and has not stopped since... I guess that means no more dreaded tummy time :). Smart girl!
