Visit to AZ

Sophia, Shawn, and I took a trip to Arizona this past weekend to visit his Grandparents. His mom and niece Alexus were already there when we got in. It was a total surprise too which made it even more fun. Nana and Papa had no idea we were coming. It was so sweet to see how their faces lit up when they saw Sophia. We have not seen them since Christmas and I think it was a much needed pick me up. Grandpa has not been feeling the best and he was all smiles when he sat with Sophia. It's amazing how one little girl can bring so much joy into a home.

Shawn and I were a little spoiled because with his mom and Grandma there to hang out with Sophia it was kind of a little vacation. I would say that we got to enjoy the beautiful Arizona landscape, but we stayed inside most of the time due to the 100+ degree weather.

While we were there Sophia had her first fall from climbing to the standing position. She hit her cheek on the coffee table and got a bruise on her cheek. She is so tough though and barely cried about it. She also had another first while we were there, she had her first rib. We were cracking up at how excited she got when we gave it to her. She was making her cheesy face and totally laughing. She had it for a long time and definitely did not want to give it back. We had to pry it from her little fingers.

One of her favorite things to play with while we were there was Grandpa's walker. It is really light weight with wheels and she thought she was super cool dragging it all over the place.

I had to return home a couple days before Shawn and we debated whether or not I would take Sophia home with me. Well, I lost that one and she stayed with Shawn. I thought I would be an absolute mess, but I actually had the best couple nights of sleep I have had in a long time. I feel a little guilty, but I know that it was the right decision. We get to spend so much time with my family all the time, Sophia needed some Willingham time. We will be heading out there again soon I am sure of it.
