Hi everyone. We're in sunny Argentina visiting Lucas's family for the month. We had kept the date of arrival secret for his mom to surprise her for her birthday. It was planned that Lucas's parents go on a weekend getaway so that we have a chance to arrive in Argentina and get ready for the surprise. When we knew they were at the door, we hid and left Melina to sit in the hallway in front of the door. Can you imagine her expression to open the door and see her first grandchild just waiting for her! It was a happy moment for all.
We have seen many visitors in the past few days wishing Cristina a Happy Birthday and also meeting Melina. Melina has adapted so well to the environment and enjoys seeing and meeting people. She smiles so quickly and even claps in excitement for all the people. Who would've thought that we had such a sociable baby?
She is also learning new things. We had mentioned that she's been crawling, and she can sit on her own. Now she knows how to sit up from a lying down position, she likes to say the words "da-tah" and "Brrrp!". As well, she just learned to wave a little. All these things in a course of a week.
She has adjusted to the different foods here. She started eating finger foods last week and although the vegetables are similar, they do taste a little different. But she is still hungry as ever and growing so much! I don't know. It looks to me that she has grown this past month more than ever before.
It's a good feeling to be here. She has met her grandmother, her great-grandmother, and her great-great-grandmother. Five generations! Unbelievable.
That's all for now. We hope to post more during our stay in Argentina.
