First impressions

Well we made it to Rio! We have been here almost a week and I thought it was about time to update you all. The flight went well althought it was really long - 12 hrs - for flying with a baby. Thank the Lord that they paid for Ailey to have her own business class seat. She is an average sized 2 month old and the bassinet was almost too small for her. She fussed some at the beginning of the trip but then slept some in her infant car seat. We have been really impressed with how well she is transitioning. The only hard thing has been her backtracking a bit on her sleep so that she wasn't sleeping more than 3 or 4 hrs between feedings at night, but last night was better and we think it will continue to get better.



We like our temp apartment. It's in busy Ipanema with a view of the ocean. We can walk to the beach and local shops & restaurants. The food has been wonderful and the local beers are tasty too and helps with missing good ol' texas shiner beer.



We started apartment hunting this week but so far havn't found anything to fit our needs. We will keep you updated on house hunting. Hoepfully we will have more news later this week.
