Abby's first visitors

T's not quite sure about his small cousin.

Our first weeks at home, we had lots of visitors come and see Abby.  It was great to have Abby meet her family and friends and to finally get to meet all the people who love her and have already started to spoil her.  I can't wait for her to get to know more of her family and for her to develop bonds with everyone and love all of these people as much as her parents love you guys!

Abby got to meet her puppy "cousin" Gonzo.  Scott and V stopped in on their way home from picking up their new, stupid cute puppy.  We were glad to see them as they are so busy and both Abby and Gonzo will be a lot bigger next time we get to hang out.

Can we keep him!?

We had a great visit with Craig, Lindsay and Alyssa.  Alyssa was very excited to meet Abby.  When she first walked into the house she told me that I had a new baby named Abigail, but we can call her Abby.  Alyssa even gave Abby a "bunny", a blanket/stuffed animal hybrid that Alyssa loves and needs to get to sleep.  She thought Abby would need one too (although it had a monkey head, not a bunny).

Adorable - "cousins"

While Gramma Cheryl was visiting for our first weekend at home, we had the pleasure of welcoming Jeff, Andree and Emilie.  We're glad that we have babysitters that live in the same city as us - right!? ;)

A great photo of Gramma Cheryl and Abby

 

Emilie was enjoying the coos (and farts!) from Abby

We even convinced Great-Uncle Jeff to hold Abby

Sarah and William also made the trip up from California to visit the family.  They had a whirl-wind tour of SW Ontario, but made time to visit with us - and bring us an amazing lunch!  William has grown so much since we last saw him - and talking way more too.  It's hard to believe they go from Abby's size to William's size in a blink of the eye!  We are looking forward to seeing Sarah and Chris's little girl this summer - and we can't wait until our girls can meet each other!

Sarah will have a little one in pink soon!

Adorable!!

Grampa Chris and Uncle James made the journey up to our condo, despite bad weather and conflicting schedules.  We were glad to FINALLY have them around.  James was so cute with Abby - I think she's going to be spoiled by her uncles and Grampa.

Proud Grampa!

Aunty Emma came to visit for her birthday.  She stayed for the weekend and spent much of the time cuddling Abby and napping on the couch.  It was fun to have 3 Jeans in one room.  Love you, Aunty Emma and hope to see you soon!

I love this photo

  We were also lucky to have Aunt Allie and Tayson come and stay with us for a week!  They spent time in London first, but then we just hung out in our condo.  It was wonderful to see Tayson interact with Abby.  It took a day or so before Tayson realized that Abby was a little person and that she could interact with Tayson.  He loved to throw the ball at her - we made sure it was a very soft ball.  He would also just stare at her and touch her very gently.  We loved having Allie here, and it's sad that we won't get to see her soon.  We miss our Aunty Allie!

During Allie's last weekend in town, Ben, Diana and their gang came to visit.  We had to take all the kiddies down to the party room, so they were able to run around.  Tayson and Levi got along great and Amaya just hung out and stared at Abby.  Very cute.  We made sure to get photos of all the Cole grandchildren for Gramma and Grampa (who were too sick to visit!).

We finally had Karl and Farah both over for breakfast one day.  Uncle Karl had met Abby the day after she was born, and Aunty Farah was finally healthy enough and in town to meet Abby.  We are so lucky to have great friends that live close by and can be another set of Aunts and Uncles to Abby.  I'm sure she's going to love getting spoiled by her Aunt Farah and Uncle Karl. 

Finally!  Aunty Farah meets Abby.

Already enjoying hanging out with Karl

Aunty Farah's a natural!

Finally, because some of our family lives far away and we can't see them yet - we've done some video chats with great-grandparents and aunts and uncles.  We can't wait to meet you all!
