Thanksgiving

We had a great week at Abuela and Tata's house celebrating Thanksgiving with my whole family. Living far away it's easy to forget how nice it is to have all of us together again. Catalina had the chance to spend some quality time with everyone which was really nice. Sophia, her little cousin, really loved Catalina. Sophia even took her first steps independently while we were there! I think watching Cata motor around motivated her to get up off the floor and try to walk. Since getting back we had a couple days to unpack, get settled into a routine again, and then get back on the plane to go to Birmingham (see previous post). Here are some pics from Thanksgiving week:

Cuddling with Tia Alicia (and Cookie Monster - thanks Amna!)









Towering over Sophia but still giving her kisses (we learned in Birmingham that Catalina has officially made it back off the growth chart again for weight - she was hovering at 95th percentile the last couple doctors visits, but she is now above 100th percentile weighing in at 33lbs!).


Reading and snuggling with Tata


First time ice skating! I'm not sure she enjoyed it, but the bucket ride was fun.


Posing with Abuela and Sophia


The whole crew before Thanksgiving dinner

Daddy time!

Sophia took advantage of one of the very few times Cata was not standing upright and able to get away.


A visit from Amna who brought a new toy - Cookie Monster!
