Few things in life are priceless, but last weekend falls at the top of my list. I got to go home to El Dorado and introduce Max to my Mam-ma. He was so good on the trip down there, he slept almost the entire time and when he wasn't asleep, his precious big sister and George entertained him. Yes, my first road trip after baby and I loaded up a 6 week old, a dog and a seven year old to drive 5 hours in a small purple egg. I've never been a worrier though and the trip was perfect. Even if I had needed to stop every 30 minutes, it would have been worth it. I enjoyed my time there so much, it was too much fun staying at my sisters, visiting with my mother and father and especially getting to see our other special family members. Tyler and Eric stayed behind in Farmington for baseball practice.
Abbi stayed in El Dorado all week and Max and I have been busy, well, I have been busy. My one week to not have to get ready and I have filled it up. We drove back Monday, Tuesday Tyler had baseball practice (he was awesome of course), Wednesday I had a work gathering and Thursday I had a work gathering. Needless to say it is Friday and I have been in my PJs all day. Wednesday was bitter sweet. I had to say so long to my friend Katie who isn't going to be working with me anymore, but I got to see friends and introduce them to John Maxwell. Thursday was really fun. Our team from work got together and I left Max behind at home. A solid 2 hours of big people time, I needed it. It also helped me realize going back to work might actually be a little fun, I do miss my buddies and using my brain.
Max has been doing much better with his napping this week. My brilliant sister laid him on his tummy for a nap while we were in El Dorado and he slept excellent. All naps this week have been on his pallet in the floor on his tummy and he loves it. He will actually go to sleep on his own if I lay him down there. So much better than being confined to the couch holding him during all his naps. I am getting to update this blog without a baby in my lap and I might fit in lunch before he awakes, yeah! Pictures below are just of Max, Abbi is gone and Tyler isn't big on the camera... Off to the kitchen, we are blessed.
Yeah for tummy time! Glad you got to stay in your pj's all day- I'm considering getting back in mine and it's not 5:00 yet!:) Hope you have a good weekend. I want to blow up that close up picture of him outside- it's perfect!!!!
