Jul. 2, 2008 - Update - Vacation
We took a trip.... starting off with my niece's wedding. ds7 was the ring bearer. He had to stand up front right next to the groom for the entire ceremony - I was so proud of him - was just bursting with emotion as I watching him walking in - he's just growing up so fast!
and just in case you thought differently....... though he behaved perfectly for the ceremony and the millions of photos afterwards, my silly guy was still under all those fancy clothes...... :)
random vacation tidbits.... we were with a large part of my family for 10 days ..... grandma, grandpa, brother and wife with their 3 kids, sister and husband with 6 of their kids... so ds7 had great fun with his cousins - which for me was the whole reason for the extended trip after the wedding - I mean let's be honest, traveling all over the place with a 9 week old was never going to be a 'vacation' for me :)
baby did great though, really rolled with the punches pretty well - by the end of trip he was even nursing like a pro and latching on so much better etc which was such an answer to prayer since I needed to nurse in public so much of the time for the trip. We joked that I was breastfeeding at all the major attractions.... Navy Pier, The "bean" in millenium park in Chicago, St. Louis Arch etc......LOL. I figured that once I nursed on a trolley car in downtown Chicago that really I had figured out the whole 'nursing in public' thing that I had such difficulty with before. And baby kept up with his sleeping at night too :)
anyhow, here's a couple pics:
ds7 with a couple cousins at submarine inside Museum of Science and Industry:
family pic - a reflection in the bean (can you believe silly me - this is the only family pic from our whole 10 day vacation and it's a reflection of us! oh well)
Nice pic of the bean itself... really cool how it reflected the skyline
and ds7's favorite part of the whole trip...... visiting an actual Lego store - we don't have one anywhere near where we live....
and later on in the trip....... stayed by a lake in Arkansas....... here's a pic of ds7 with his cousins hunting for diamonds at Crater of Diamonds State Park
my favorite shot of him from the trip.....ds7 lost more teeth :)
and here's my boys hanging out at a hotel
