DC

Last Thursday Robby dropped me and my little travel buddy off at the airport, so we could head up to DC for a short family visit.  My mom was making her way back to the states, and we coordinated flights, so we could be on the same flight to DC after her layover in Houston.  It was a sweet sight to have Mason back in his Grandma's arms.

He was a little bigger than last time...

Just checking out his cool new shoes ;)

Getting some Aunt Grazia love!

Playtime with Michi & Luca

Waking up with Aunt Makenzie and Lil'

Mason thinks my brother is hilarious with all of his funny faces and sound effects.  I love seeing them interact.

Dancing with Grandma

"Aunt Grazia, please help me get this hat off!"

Aunt Ghada with Mason

Stacking cups with Luca

Luca had a really cute idea of holding baby races during the party Saturday night.  Two other babies, within 1 1/2 months of each other, Franco and Rayan, also joined the party.  Franco belongs to Aunt Grazia's cousin Alessandro and his wife Stephanie and Rayan belongs to Aunt Ghada's sister Reem and her husband Alejandro.  

Practicing with Michi (Please note the marked baby lanes!!!)

Mason's first win!  This picture is a little misleading as it was probably the only one taken where the babies are all facing the same direction, but a win is a win!  Luca was the judge :)

Showing off our skills for Uncle Paul

Bouncing with Uncle Rick

I thought we were prepared for the cold temperatures with the pants, long sleeves, and blankets I packed, but it was COLD.  Thanks to Aunt GiGi, Uncle Rick, and Michi my little boy was kept very warm by his stylish new jacket.  How are baby jackets so much cuter than adult size jackets?  It even has a hood.  I can't wait until it's cold down here... well, I guess I can.  I like warm weather;)

Funny Uncle Joshy

Heading home.  We haven't even taken off yet.  This baby was pooped and SO off schedule.  

We had the BEST time visiting with family, but I was BEYOND thrilled to get my sweet boy back home.  

Thanks to everyone for spoiling our boy so much and giving him AND me lots of love this past week.
