Visiting cousins and sitting up

Lexi, Natalie and Sarah are in Minnesota visiting Sophia and Logan - and their parents, of course. Lexi has spring break this week and I didn't want to sit at home with her the whole time. The Bradway cousins' day care is closed for a few days this week but Brian still has class so Granny is up here as well helping with child care. We had an early am flight on Monday morning and due to airport lines, boarded with the final boarding call. Otherwise, both girls traveled nicely and Brian was there to pick us up and take us to his house before leaving for class.

Sophia and Lexi are getting along well. Some small squabbles but otherwise, lots of laughing, running, playing and talking. Just saw them now putting together a puzzle and taking turns doing it! We three Padres are sleeping in Sophia's room with her: the older girls in the bunk beds, me on the trundle bed and Natalie in the pack and play. Lexi thought she could sleep on the top bed but that didn't quite happen.

Logan and Natalie seem to be at least slightly interested in each other. Both were sitting on Granny's lap when Logan decided to touch Natalie on her head. Then she returned the favor and neither seemed to mind or get hurt. We have tried sitting Natalie up on the carpet in their living room and if you get her balanced right, she can sit and play with things close to her. Another first!
