Allie, Judy and I were fortunate to have the opportunity to head out to Barbados for a few days before meeting with my family in Atlanta for Christmas.


Judy nor I had never been to the Caribbean, so we felt that this would be the best time for us to go since Allie is still relatively small and since we would be halfway there already.


We really didn't do much other than hang out at the pool and beach. The Caribbean waters were amazing...warm with a nice azure, greenish hue. It's funny how much you change after having a kid. Judy's like, "don't you want to try jet skiing?" I was like, "nah, I'm kinda scared...I'll just hang out with Allie in the kiddie pool."


We left for Atlanta after a few days in Barbados. We met up with my parents, siblings, nephews and grandmother. This was the first time my grandma had a chance to meet her new great granddaughter (Allie).

Allie had a couple of visitors from out-of-town, including Ryan, Mel, Adam and Jim Han. We spent the day together walking around the Grove.


Since it was a little cold outside, Allie and I tried to find some warmth staying inside Barney's. Allie hung out while Mel and Ryan were trying on some shoes.


Uncle Richie joined as well. I had a good time watching Rich and Leslie struggling to carry Allie around the Grove. I guess they didn't realize that babies can weigh 25 lbs and get heavy after awhile.


Touchdown! Allie was watching Jim Han and I watch NFL football games, and started to mimic us by signaling for touchdowns.

Allie loves sitting with me at the computer. So I thought I'd take some pics of her sitting there by herself. She obviously didn't need me there to keep herself preoccupied.


Allie getting PWNED!
