London

Mom and Aurelia arrived in London on February 27th with Melissa, and Daddy went to get them at Heathrow. Once again our little girl was a wonderful traveller and Mom and aunty Melissa could even sleep on the plane. Dad found a nice apartment in Clapham with two bedrooms and a garden for his little angel to live in for her first European experience.
For the first couple of days Aurelia was a grand explorer of London - going out with Dad and aunty Melissa all day long to let Mommy catch up on some much needed rest. Friday afternoon the trio toured the Common, bought groceries and even had a couple of pints outside as it was a beautiful day. Saturday saw Aurelia at Burrough Market, the Milenium Bridge, at Fortnum and Mason, and then later at a pub for drinks with mom, Val and Elise, followed by pizza at Daddy's pizza spot near school.
Aurelia was a pretty good sleeper for the first couple of days, but once the house cleared out, she started to wail at night! It has been about 4 nights now of lots of crying at sleep time and waking up during the night. Mom and Dad are a little tired right now... but we love our little on so much we are more sad for her than anything.
