This week we have been transitioning back into our regular lives. We stayed with Uncle Chris and Aunt Lauren Ross until Monday, and then flew back from San Francisco to New York on Monday night. (Here are some more photos of the end of our time with the Rosses!) Our flight was delayed by 6 hours (from ~1PM to ~7PM), but Aunt Lauren toured us around the city while Daddy got work done on his laptop at the airport, so it ended up working out okay.
Wednesday night was New Year's eve, and we all went over to our friend Christa, Mark and Johnny's house to celebrate. Christa and Mark hosted New Year's for us all last year too, and it was amazing to see the difference within the last year! Last new year's eve Grace rolled over for the first time. This new year's eve, all of the kids were climbing through coffee tables and up couches, and racing around the apartment! Last year they were all babies, but now they really are kids! We had a great time with everyone.
Saturday, Grandma and Grandpa Ruane drove down to the city to visit. We all exchanged our Christmas presents (we didn't see them over Christmas), and trained down to Grand Central Station to see New York Transit Museum annex. Aidan was entranced by the various kinds of trains smoking around a New York City set. It has been quiet this week without all of our various family members around, so Aidan was particularly happy to see Grandma and Grandpa!
Throughout the week, we have been slowly recovering from our California jet lag. Mommy thinks that this time seems like it has been the most difficult time to recover yet! On Tuesday and Wednesday, Aidan didn't go to sleep until around 11PM. On Thursday, he went to sleep at 8PM but then woke up and stayed awake between 9PM and 1AM. And on Friday, he went to sleep at 7PM but then woke up every hour all night long! (Mommy was just happy that he at least went back to sleep each time!) Saturday night was last night and he finally passed out at 9PM, but then had a good long night's sleep, so hopefully we are getting back to a more normal schedule!
This week Aidan has also been doing a ton with language. Mommy hasn't started listing off all of his words and signs, yet, but there are a lot! He has started using his adapted "please" sign and saying "more" when he wants something/ someone, and has been asking for more of his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins! He misses you all already.
