Children's Museum and Cocktail party!

Ava had a terrible first night in Houston. She went to bed easily but woke up when Mommy and Daddy went to bed and had a very hard time falling asleep. I had hoped to relive my graduate school experience of Friday morning lab meeting but being up all night with the baby meant no lab meeting for Mommy. Ava finally fell asleep at 7:40am...the goal was to get back on schedule. Ava slept until 10:45...woohoo we were getting there! We headed out to brunch at the buffalo grill. Ava and Mommy had delicious pancakes. After brunch we decided to go to the Children's Museum of Houston, to the Tot Spot. Mommy forgot the camera but it was a great opportunity to use the camera on my new iphone. The pictures were much better than I expected.



Friday night Adriana and Alejandro invited people over to visit with us and meet Ava. They started to arrive around 7:30pm. Ava danced with Alejandro while we got everything ready. I was a little nervous about her staying up late but we decided to go with the flow. We met Kevin, a new postdoc in the Rosen lab who interviewed while I was there in Houston, and his wife Emily. Matt and Ashley came as well as Jeff and Eric. We were so excited to see everyone and glad they made time to stop by and visit with us. Ava was amazing. She was completely delirious by 10:30pm laughing when you would just look at her funny. She got a quick bath and was off to bed. We spent the rest of the night visiting with friends. Thank you Adriana and Alejandro for having this great party for us.
