The Nieceling Has Orbited Once
Man oh man, I can't believe it's been a year already since my niece was born. It was great to see so much of that part of my extended family. Glad that all of Julie's siblings and all of the niece's grandparents could be in attendance. I enjoyed spending time with Jimmy's folks, too. (My sister-in-law's husband's parents are my what, aunt-and-uncle-in-law-squared? I'm glad to have them in my family.)
And of course most of all enjoyed spending time with my niece, Emilia, who is now walking and vocalizing (talking not quite yet) and pushing chairs around and eating a bit of grown-up food (though surely that will be easier once she has more than 1.5 teeth). Very strong and outgoing kid.
The party was fun, definitely the most elaborate birthday celebration I've been to for a one-year-old.
Are all Florida babies that cheerful? Admittedly my sample size is small, but I have yet to see a counter-example. Maybe it's the weather.
The trip went smoothly. JetBlue continues to be a winner.
The only downside was I got smacked with a bad cold. Out sick from work Tuesday (though I managed to conference-call in for book group) and still pretty brain-fogged today (the best part of today was biking home). Better than yesterday, though, so I'm hoping I'll be back to health in a day or two.
