Ok, the hardest part about updating my blog, is finding time to type with 2 hands. My netbook has heloped, its so tiny, doesn't take up much room on my lap, and now I have a baby wrap, freeing up my hands...although the wrap blocks my view of parts of the keyboard...
Last weekend, we took Casey on his very first road trip! We drove to see my family and celebrate Christmas with them in Lake Tapps. Its about a 4 hour drive, so I fed Casey immediately before we left, hoping to make it as far as possible before he woke up! By the time we drooped the dogs off at their favorite boarding kennel, and ran some errands, it had been an hour. Casey slept the whole drive until about 10 minutes before my Mom's house. He woke up and started crying, the pacifier was working, then we got stuck in construction! Poor Casey really lost it about 3 minutes before we got there! Once he was fed, he was happy! My Dad had surgery, so was still in the hospital, and my Mom with him, so we visited with Kelly, Caleb, Dustin and Jenna before hading to Shauna's, where we stayed.
Casey was not so sure about the cradle to sleep in (Shauna has a beautiful hand made cradle, made for Cooper by his Grandpa Fred), so after getting up with him about 6 times, he came to bed with us!! That helped all of us sleep! He actualy slept about 5.5 hours, which he had also done the night before at home, his longest stretch yet!!
Saturday, we had to take Tobie to the vet, he had been vomiting, had diarrhea and had refused several meals. He was pretty lethargic too. After a small fortune, he got some meds to make him feel better. Shauna and Keegan then jumped in the expedition and we followed Matt, Kelly and Caleb to South Center to Red Robin to meet a friend oif Kellys. We had 3 slings and infant car seats at our table, which was quite a sight! A weird lady walked by and put her hand in Casey's car seat, almost touching his face....not okay! Yes, he is adorable, but no petting! Later that night we went to Mom's for pizza. Dad was discharged from the hospital, and was home! Casey finally got to meet him! With our family growing so much, it always gets pretty chaotic and loud, with 7 different conversations at once....its great!
Sunday was our Christmas celebration. My Grandparents came over, meeting Casey for the first time. Grandma brought lasagna for lunch. We finally had all 4 cousins together! There were lots of pictures taken!!
