Weekend in Los Angeles

Mateo has a lot to report in this entry. Last Friday, he got up very early and took his first plane trip to Los Angeles to meet all his relatives and see his Auntie G and grandparents. He did well on the plane flight. While he decided to nap for only 45 minutes, he was able to rest on the empty seat between mommy and daddy.



Upon arriving in L.A., he spent some time with Aunt Mari, Aunt Lola, Grandpa and Graminoni. He got lots of kisses and hugs.





When Mateo's other aunties and uncle Ray arrived, it was a free-for-all! Mateo felt like a star fending off flashbulbs and paparazzi!



In L.A., the sun finally came out and Mateo went for a walk with his grandparents, had lunch at California Grill, and walked around the mall with Auntie G, Grandpa and Graminoni. He thoroughly enjoyed himself!



Later that afternoon, Amy made the trek from Woodland Hills to see Mateo. He and Amy visited for a bit then mommy and Amy went for a cup of coffee and to catch up.



On Sunday, Mateo took his second plane trip ever to head back to Seattle. There wasn't a vacant middle seat, so Mateo's mommy held him the whole time. He was a little fussier this time, but he made it! When we got back to Seattle, we went down to Southcenter for dinner and to exchange a present from Mateo's Aunt Nena that was too small. Mateo had lots of fun in L.A. and misses everyone. He knows he'll see them soon!
