On Thursday morning...Auntie Diana met us at the apartment and we packed up again and head to New Jersey to visit Great-Grandma Mitzi.
Kaylee had a nice visit, and enjoyed exploring the hallways and rooms on Great-Grandma's floor. Unfortunately for Mommy, she didn't think of taking pictures until after Kaylee began to hit critical mass...so these are my only 2 shots, but at least I have photographic evidence of the visit in some way.
Then it was back to the city where the uncles played babysitter while Mommy and Daddy got to see their first Broadway show in at least 2 years (but I think more like 3.) Monkey see-Monkey do, you'd hope that Kaylee was imitating Uncle Chuck here...but no, it was the other way around. Kaylee wanted to introduce the uncles to the joys of Sesame Street...and once the electronic babysitter is on...there's no getting her attention away from it.
So Chuck had to settle for some Loofy loving while Kaylee vegged out. 
Uncle Buddy tried to wrestle Kaylee's attention away from Elmo too, but to no avail...
After Sesame Street, it was time to torture the uncles' dog Lola by chasing her into their room. Uncle Buddy got in on the action, and Kaylee let him.
On Friday we told Kaylee that Uncles Chuck and Buddy and Lola were heading off to the country so she'd have to say goodbye. What do you think she thought of that? 
Still she agreed to a quick photo shoot before they left...but wouldn't let Mommy touch her hair.
Oh well, at least she was happy.
Saturday we went to the Central Park Zoo...and saw some penguins.
That's Kaylee staring at the penguins, I realize its dark, but its the best I got.
Friends Jess and John went to the zoo with us...as you can see, Kaylee still has a soft spot for John.
Mommy-to-be, Jess, didn't get quite as much attention as her hubby, but still a good time seems to have been had by all.
'What is Kaylee looking at,' you might be pondering...
Why its a sea lion. Kaylee was enthralled as they did all their tricks.
At the polar bear exhibit...Kaylee went right up to the glass..."Bear." she proclaimed.
"Yes, Kaylee, that is a bear," we told her."Color?" she asked. (Although it sounded more like cullur...but you get to know your kid's speech. However, we think our child is brilliant, every bear she'd seen so far in books and such had been brown, so she was confused why this one wasn't--at least that's what Daddy and I think she meant by the question.)
"That's a white bear, Kaylee, a polar bear," Daddy explained.
And Kaylee seemed to accept that explanation just fine. Here's a pic of the other polar bear, practicing his bear rug pose.
Later that day...after nap. We told Kaylee that someone was coming to visit her. She seemed excited. "Who is it?" she asked.
We told her she had to guess. After a few minutes, which probably felt like hours, Kaylee cried, "Alright, alright, I give up...who is coming to visit?"
Then Auntie Diana and Charlie showed up and entertained her for a little while.
Then on Sunday, it was time to head home. So we headed back to NH, via CT to visit Great-Grandpa, Ba. "Oh my goodness, so many people want to see me," Kaylee exclaimed, exasperated at all her visits.
But Ba won her over, by letting her play the keyboard.
She had lots of fun (and pizza) at Ba's house.
"Alright, munchkin," we told her, "last leg of the trip, its time to really go home."For some reason, I am not sure she believed us.
But home we went...it was an exhausting trip, but we had a really nice time seeing everyone. We want to thank Uncles Chuck and Buddy one more time for their generosity and hospitality (and just plain putting up with the amount of stuff we bring these days.) We know they'll read this eventually:) And now, I am caught up with all my pictures. Phew!
