Kathy's flight arrived earlier than scheduled on Thursday night, so she was able to catch a glimpse of Meredith before she headed off to bed. Then the three adults enjoyed a little bit of Thai takeout as we all chatted and caught up.
The next morning Meredith got up at her usual 7am time. I fed her a bottle and then let dad and Gma take over so I could head back to bed for a few more hours, always a treat for me. After I got up again and gave Meredith another bottle, we made brunch before heading out to the Mall of America for a little stroller ride and some shopping.
That evening Kathy had offered to babysit, so Jon and I could go out on a date. But after considering what a short visit she was having, we all decided to go out to dinner together instead. We didn't go to Sea Change per the reservation Jon and I made, instead we went to the local Mexican Restaurant, Pepitos. But before our dinner, we gave Meredith hers, it was her first taste of veggies - sweet peas to be exact. She didn't completely hate them, but certainly didn't love them either. After we got home and put Meredith to bed, we finished watching the movie we rented, Precious. It was an excellent movie, but darn depressing!
The next day we had made reservations to go to Hells Kitchen, but ended up cancelling them due to Kathy being sick. It seems like she got the same stomach flu that Jon and I had the previous weekend. I'm not exactly sure if it was from us, or if she picked something up on the plane or even at her work before coming, but either way - she wasn't feeling well and spent all day Saturday either in our bed our on the couch, not eating. We felt very bad for her, and at the same time were hoping that Jon, I and Meredith were not going to get sick again ourselves.
Thankfully, by the next morning, Kathy was able to eat a little something and felt well enough to take her flight home. We didn't get to do as much fun stuff as we'd like, but I think she had as nice of a time as she could have just seeing us and her very smiley and active granddaughter.
Here are some pics from the weekend...
Meri's getting very strong on her tummy and loves to just roll and roll and roll

Not liking the peas so much
Gma's trying, but it isn't going much better

It had been awhile since we've had a family photo, so here's one (even though I'm still basically in my jammies)!
PS: We had Meredith's 6 month appt today: She's 16 lb and 11oz and 25 inches long, right in the middle and certainly having no problem with her weight gain. All is well and she's currently sucking her bottles down - 5-7oz at a time. And she seemed to like her green beans last night, we'll see if this trend continues..... :)
