Florida Fun

We just got back from a fantastic week in Florida visiting Molly and Brian and meeting baby Lucy.  I hope this is the start of a yearly tradition.  Not only is Lucy perfect in every way, Molly was a rock star Mom (up and about and looking wonderful) and Brian was a very attentive and loving new Dad.  It was great to escape the frigid weather we have been having in Boulder and get the cousins together for their first meeting in sunny Florida.

Samantha was her usual kind and loving self, doting over baby Lucy and holding her hand.  She continues to be quite fascinated by breast feeding.  Since I haven't been nursing Carina for a few months, I haven't seen her feeding her baby Daisy.  But, once we were in Florida for a few days, she decided to revive the feeding herself as seen here.

Now, Carina was not nearly as interested in sharing attention with the new baby.  We learned for the first time that she is quite jealous of other adorable babies, especially where mom was concerned.  If she spotted me holding Lucy she would start crawling quickly towards me saying an angry "MA MA MA MA" until I picked her up and held her at the same time.  Soon of course they will be the best of buds but Carina needs to work on her cousin rivalry.

The only downside of the entire trip was a nasty fall Carina had at the aquarium where she literally did a flip and nose dive to the ground, skinning the tip of her nose.  This photo doesn't do justice to what it looks like now that it has bled and scabbed over but she picked an appropriate time of year to go as Rudolph.

Best of all, we only have a month to wait until we see Lucy again for her first visit to Colorado. To see all the photos from our trip, check out the photos here.
