One big familly

On the most joyous feastday of Cinco de Mayo, those two Big People were at it again! They plopped me into my chair, stuck me in the back of that red, vibratey thing they brought me home from the hospital in, and a few hours later I found myself in strange new surroundings once again!
This time, it was strange, but vaguely familiar, almost like I had been there before. The other big people I met there were very interesting! I got to meet my Great Grandma, who you see me pictured with above. It was explained to me later that she is my daddy's Grandma, which also means she is my Grandma's mommy. Yeah, it took me a while to wrap my brain around that. I'm usually pretty quick, but I've just got a lot going on up there these days.
Now, when it comes to big people, there are big people as compared to me, and then there are big people as compared to other big people. My Great Grandpa is one of the latter. Now, I am a mere 20 1/4 inches tall. Great Grandpa is 77 1/2 inches. If you can't imagine that, there was one point where he walked past as I lay on the floor, and his foot spanned the length of my curled-up body! That's like a Buick driving past any of you big people who might be reading this. In any case, I'm just grateful that we were both sitting down when he held me--I don't know if I'm ready to be that far from the ground!
I also got to meet my Daddy's aunts Jen (they called her "Binky', but from the get-go, I wasn't fooled), Marion, Charlotte, Valerie, Paula, and Harriet (who I had actually met before). I also met one of my Daddy's uncles Gerard, and Gerards little people Cameron and Paige. Cameron made me realize I've got a lot of growing to do in the next 8 months! Paige helped my mommy a lot when she changed my diaper, and she asked a lot of questions when it was my lunch time!
Those Great Big People I met on Saturday sure were neat! They laughed a lot and seemed to be very nice. I can hardly wait to see them all again.
Also on this trip, I'm proud to say, I crossed the borders of my second and third states, and had my diaper changed in both! I plan on doing that in many more states, especially in the next few months! I hear Mommy and Daddy talking about "Kansas" and "Colorado" and "Michigan" and "Indiana" and a little bit about "Pennsylvania", "Ohio", and "Missouri". I can't wait to poo there, too!
