Well I survived our trip to NJ and I will start by saying that Izzy could not have been better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She did GREAT! The flight out there, she sat on our laps and watched her DVD player or ate her snacks. The flight home she slept almost the whole way since she was exhausted from no nap. She really was a champ the whole weekend. We spent a good part of the weekend at my grandma's small apartment and Izzy did just fine (didnt' break anything and was so well behaved) Even her sleeping was pretty good. She refused to sleep in the pack n play but she did just fine sleeping on the bed with one of us. We had 2 beds in our room so DH and I took turns sleeping with her. She even took naps that way!
My Oma looks AWESOME!!! She is doing so well. Other than the fact that she uses a walker sometimes i would say she looks as good as she did last year...which considering how poor of shape she was in two months ago is just amazing. She baked her famous apple cake and made her famous egg salad. Each morning we went there for brunch and spent some time, then went back to the hotel for a nap and then would pick her up and go out to dinner! I do have to say, I LOVE bagels and lox but I ate bagels /lox for brunch 3 days in a row since that is what was served so if I dont' eat another one for 6 months it will be too soon!!!!!
Overall it was a great trip. I managed to not get too stressed out and I didn't snap at my mother too much even though by the end of the trip I was SOOOOOOOOOO done with her. She is just SOOO overbearing it is ridiculous. She hovers over us with Izzy and she must dominate all conversations.....urgh!!!! I know she does not do it on purpose and probably doesn't even realize she is doing it but it is gets very hard to take after a whole weekend.
I think the highlight of the trip for Izzy was swimming, she was jsut squealing with delight swimming at the hotel pool.
On Sunday we had a b-day party for my Oma at my Aunts house so we got to visit with some family that had never met Izzy and everyone kept telling us how amazing she was, and how well behaved and how they just couldnt' get over how happy she is. We are very lucky.
Okay well back to work I go. Here is a grainy picture taken with my dad's cell phone of Oma reading to Izzy. I forgot to pack our camera, and have to get my mom's card so I can get teh pictures off of it.
