Our NY trip had lots of fun adventures and crazy sleepless nights. We started off with a bit of a cranky Cristiana since we woke her up to leave for the airport. We flew Jet Blue thinking it would make the trip easier since they have little personal TVs for everyone, but unfortunately because they only show Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network which Cristiana never watches and the satellite connection of the TVs dropped quite a few times, it did not help. Monica had lent us a portable DVD player, but of course we forgot to charge it before we got on the plane. We arrived in NY and she met her Abuelo (Jaime's biological father) for the first time and finally decided to take a nap on the way to their house in Floral Park. Woke up as soon as we got there, which clocked her for only a 30min. nap, but what we didn't realize was that this would set the stage for her naps for most of the trip. Cristiana met her uncles (5 and 7 yr olds Antony and Cris) and LOVED them from the get go. Every night was a struggle because she preferred to play with the boys instead of sleep, but our first night there, she must have also felt a little uneasy because she would NOT let me put her down in her Aerobed and finally fell asleep with us on our bed with her arms wrapped around my neck with no release in sight!Since Cristiana is a crazy sleeper, I did not get much sleep that night either. Following day we went to visit Jaime's mom near Rockaway Beach, where Cristiana was able to meet some additional family memebers (on Jaime's mother's side). We enjoyed a walk on the beach with Abuela #2 (which was quite nippy) and some fun in a park. Cristiana finished the day off eating dinner with her uncles and being as crazy as ever with them (pictures of her wearing the red shirt and crazy hair). On Friday we ventured off to the Lincoln Science Center with my sister. Cristiana had a great time playing in their kids area and really enjoyed the wind simulator they had (a hose with air blowing out) as well as the giant balloon wand. On Saturday we were on the road most of the day. We first ventured off to meet more of Jaime's family (on his dad's side) in White plains and then back to Rockaway for Jaime's cousin's baby shower where again Cristiana met even more family. Though our time at the baby shower was short, Cristiana had a blast dancing to great spanish music (see video).
