I took a record-breaking number of pictures during this Raleigh trip (over 650-which I'm almost too embarrassed to admit) so here is the last random group from this trip that I'll post.

Matthew loves that Meredith is becoming more and more aware of everything. He laughs when she watches him and has fun getting her to smile, which when she does he looks at me with a huge grin and says "Mommy, my baby sister smiled at me, she likes me".

Snoozin' in the warm sunshine

Playing bubbles with Aunt Ann

Great Grandpa really loved to see everyone-and of course we always love to see him

Hanging out in Great Grandpa's room

Playing catch, which Matthew is getting better at.

Aunt Julie still has the magic touch with Meredith

He was excited to help Grandpa with mundane chores around the house, like washing windows-he was in charge of spraying the Windex onto the glass.

My sweet, precious loves

Cuddle time with Great Aunt Barb

Meredith didn't seem to mind too much to get her baths in the sink-especially when Aunt Barb was there to help out.

Grammy loved getting her dressed all warm and snugly after her bath.

Computer fun!

More lovin' from Great Grandpa M

I couldn't resist-the stroller was just the perfect size!

The bean fell asleep holding his sister's hand-too precious

More time with Great Grandpa

Matthew has "claimed" Great Grandpa's blue blanket, and even though he keeps his room really warm, insisted on using it every time we visited.

Meredith passed out on Great Grandpa's bed

Julie and her boyfriend Nick. I was able to get out and hang out with them one evening-my first time socializing since Meredith was born-we had a blast playing pool and just being silly.

The Syracuse airport has part of an airplane set up that you can sit in and play with the controls, which of course Matthew had to check out.
