Well, it took us just about 5 months but we finally made it. 7.5 hours of driving and two days of fun with Miss Katie. She sure is cute and what fun we had! Katie was so sweet and cuddly. It reminded me of the days that JD used to let me snuggle up to him; not so much anymore because this little man has places to go!
The weather didn't allow too many outdoor adventures but I was proud of JD as he seemed to (as always) go with the flow. He even managed to sleep with us in a pack-n-play all in one room--good stuff.
It has been a busy several months leading up to this adventure. JD started daycare 4 days a week as Grandma hurt her back. The initial transition was hard, but now we have a new routine that seems to be working quite nicely.
We enjoyed a wedding, visits to with Grandparents, our second Mother's/Father's day and lots of other adventures. JD now have almost all of his teeth, he sleep most nights from 6pm until 6am with a few pacifier replacement cries and well we are having a lot of fun.
As a mom, you can only hope that each day you are encouraging your child to be happy. What I love most about JD is everyday he smiles, laughs and lets me know that thus far we haven't created too much sadness for him. His eyes light up when he smiles, his body shakes when he laughs and he runs to sit in my lap at least five times a day. You can't beat it.
We are blessed and we are thankful. However, one side note...don't mess with the paci!
