SEATTLE!!!

Well I am finally getting around to posting about our amazing trip to Seattle.  Things have been so busy since we got home and I am just now getting a chance to blog.  I'm sure this will take me several weeks to get everything posted, but here's to starting, right?!?!
First, a little background info about why we were all headed to Seattle!  We had a wonderful opportunity to participate in research that is being done about the duplication that we carry.  Simons VIP Foundation is funding a study on 16p11.2 duplications and deletions.  We were actually the second family to participate so I was really excited!  We went to Seattle for three days of tests and evaluations.  Gran and Gramp went with us too because they wanted to ask them questions about Mommy (since I carry this duplication) and also they were not sure at this point if either of them carried the duplication or not.  We were still awaiting those results!
We left beautiful 70 degree weather in Jackson, MS for cool, rainy 40 degree weather in Seattle!  You were so excited to be going on a trip with Gran and Gramp on an airplane!!!  I was a little lot worried about the long airplane ride, but you did great!  You watched Barney, climbed between me and Gran and ate lots of snacks.  Up until our Seattle trip you were doing great in big girl panties, but things went downhill during this trip and this is mostly mommy's fault.  I put panties on you to go to the airport and by the time we got there, got checked in and through security, you were wet!  Not such a great start with the big girl panties on the trip so I put a pull up on you before we even got on the plane.  And pull ups it was for the entire trip.  I was not up to potty training on this trip!!! We will pick that back up soon, I hope!  Here are a few pictures Mommy took on our way to Seattle!

We got to Seattle about 2:00 in the afternoon (Seattle time) and decided to walk to an outdoor mall that was close to our hotel.  We shopped for a while and then ate dinner at a restaurant at the mall.  These are just a few pics I took at the mall.  You had so much fun throwing money into the fountain!

 After dinner, we went back to the hotel because we were all so tired because of the time change.  I decided to let you swim for a little while because I was trying to keep you awake so that you wouldn't be up at the crack of dawn!!!  And you saw the pool as soon as we got to the hotel and wanted to swim so bad.  You tried to take your clothes off in the lobby!!! :)  Daddy put his swimsuit on to go with you and he said the water was freezing.  You didn't mind too much!  You just wanted to swim.  Of course Oso had to go with you swimming!!!

 Love that happy face!!!

You are still very much a water baby!!!
