A Visit to Your Nana and GG-Ma's

You and I took our first trip this weekend without Dad. You and I went to Seattle to visit your Nana and Great Grandma and Dad went to Vegas for a bachelor party. We won't post about Dad's shenanigans, but needless to say he had fun with his friends.

I was a little overwhelmed at the thought of taking our first trip by ourselves and getting through the airport but we made it. I managed to haul you in the baby bjorn while carrying the diaper bag, our suitcase and the car seat  in and out of the checked baggage area. You were a model baby on both of the plane rides and we received numerous compliments on how well behaved you were. You didn't cry at all even though you were awake for portions of each plane ride.

We left Friday afternoon of Memorial Day weekend and waited for my friend Brooke to pick us up. She was delayed due to traffic and car troubles so you and I sat outside of the airport (thankfully it was a nice enough day for us to do so) and waited. You were a great baby for that hour that we waited! We went out to dinner with Brooke and Marlon. Brooke thought you were super sweet. Marlon was grossed out by you spitting up everywhere and gagged every time you puked. It was hilarious. After dinner they dropped us off at your GG-Ma's house. Both her and your Nana were waiting for us.

We didn't do much in the way of activities over the next few days but we had a good time. You did come down with a fever Saturday morning and so you were a little fussy over the visit, but for the most part you were a happy baby and they loved to snuggle you. They were even so great and watched you while I took a nap on Saturday because I was feeling under the weather, and then they also held you Saturday night in the middle of the night when you woke up so that I could keep sleeping. You gave them lots of loves and faces and were the source of our constant entertainment. In fact, we didn't turn the tv on once the whole time we were there because you were all the entertainment we needed.

Saturday you got to meet your Uncle Ryan for the first time and he did great with you. He picked you right up and carried you around. You felt pretty familiar with him since he was hairy like your Dad!

We left Sunday evening and headed home so that you and I could spend Memorial Day alone at home just the two of us. You slept on the car ride to the airport but then woke up right when we got there and decided you needed to eat. This was probably the worst part of the trip because you cried the whole time we checked in and got through security because you wanted to eat and I didn't want to feed you until I knew we were going to have time to eat before getting on the plane. Other than this crying stint you did great. What a wonderful trip to see your family. Our only bummer was you still haven't gotten to meet your Great Papa our your Great Aunt Angie. Some day though, maybe next time!

I did end up taking you to the doctor today and we got you new meds for your sinus infection since you developed the fever over the weekend and never seemed to get better from the last bout of sickness.
