Fresh from California and her first international flight, Aunt Teresa came to Dubai to rock Zander's world. These two had an instant bond, which was fantastic because it meant that Ma and Pa ter Laare got a few nights of sleep when Auntie T took over (hours of uninterrupted sleep have to be the best present we've received so far!).
But Teresa's trip wasn't all baby-related; this IS Dubai, you know, shopping paradise of the world. And she certainly didn't waste any time...
Spending time with my sister was fantastic and we were all sad it was just for a week. But in that week Teresa really got to learn what this part of the world is all about. Besides hanging out with her favorite nephew and shopping, she rode a camel ...
... and really got in to local culture (perhaps a bit too much)...
We are also incredibly grateful for Teresa introducing us to the bouncy chair, which I am positive is one of the best inventions on the planet. The guy or gal who thought it up deserves some sort of award.
Teresa was also in town just in time to go to the doctor for Zander's 2 month check-up. As of that time (about two weeks ago), our little guy weighed 5.14 kg / 11.33 lb and has grown to 57 cm / 22 in. The doctor says he is smack-dab in the middle of all of the growth charts, so I am pleased to announce that in addition to being gifted, Zander is also delightfully average.
While Teresa's trip was short, it was definitely sweet and we're all looking forward to seeing her in Montana next month.
