Colorado Rocky Mountain High

I just flew in from Denver...and boy, are my arms tired!
But seriously, folks, I did just get home from a whirlwind weekend in Colorado. I went to visit my great-grandma Dorothy, my Aunt Pam and Uncle Muryl and my cousin Chris and his new baby. Grandma Betsy came with us!

We left L.A. on Friday, and arrived into Denver where it was about 30 degrees! Here I am like a little eskimo baby in my papoose.
When we woke up in the morning, this is what we saw!
Then we got in the car and zoomed down to Pueblo! I was very excited to meet Grandma Dorothy! {Grandma Dorothy is 98 years and 9 months older than I am! We got along famously! She is lots of fun!}
Here we are with Crunch, who is Pam & Muryl's dog. He was very cute, very sweet, and very well behaved. {But poor Mama was very allergic to him!}
Can you believe it, here are four generations of McKillops: Grandma Dorothy, Aunt Pam who is my Grandpa Don's sister, my Daddy, and moi!

Grandma Betsy said I have changed so much in just a few weeks! I am a really big girl! Also, I sat in a highchair for the first time!
Then we zipped back to Denver to cousin Chris' house. I got to meet my new second cousin, Addison. She is teeny, and sweet as can be, and very adorable!
My mama liked holding Addison. She said, "So this is what a real *little* newborn feels like!" I was a little annoyed, so I watched the Chiefs game, just to show her who's boss.
Chris and Terry have a puppy named Bella. I really wanted to play with Bella. I love doggies!

And here's Daddy and Chris with us wee little babies.

We flew back tonight and I was a perfect angel on the plane and many people told me how great I was!

p.s. Now we are home, and I am sleeping. I conked right out after the bath! Mom and Dad have their fingers crossed that I sleep for several hours. What those amazed travelers on the plane didn't know is that I barely slept a wink this weekend.

I am maybe possibly getting a new toof or two, which made for a sleepless night for everyone. Here's hoping I do a little better tonight!
