On Saturday Zuzu made her first visit to Ames (also her first long car trip) to see Jenn’s family -- Zuzu’s Ama & Poppa, her aunt, uncle, and cousins. Ama and Poppa hadn’t seen Zuzu since mid-April and the Francos hadn’t seen her since she was six days old, so all week leading up to the trip Ty and I were eager for everyone to see how much she’d changed. She was loved, loved, loved every minute of her visit, and neither cuddles nor cameras were in short supply. It was especially exciting to see her two older cousins' adoration for their new little cousin, particularly since they have ample baby experience with their little sister, and both older girls are quite intuitive when it comes to little ones. They were quick to tend to Zuzu’s needs, hold her, play with her, tell her they love her, and provide a commentary of her actions. Even her youngest cousin, who turned one just a few days after Zuzu’s birth, was very curious about the “Ba! Ba!” (baby) and wanted to touch her when they were close.
