Back home


After a weekend of at least 12 hours of driving, we are back at home. Trey took his longest road trip to date to see his Riddle great-grandparents (Mimmie and Gramps) and his 94-year-old great great great aunt (we call her Aunt Seetheart) in Louisiana. Everyone loved seeing our little guy, and he did a great job in the car. He especially entertained everyone by jumping for what seemed like forever in his Johnny Jump Up, which he can't get enough of! Trey also found a new favorite toy - plastic measuring spoons from Mimmie's house.

Trey, however, tried to tell us in his own little way that he has had ENOUGH of this traveling! Our first night, he hardly slept a wink, and wouldn't settle down at all until we put him in bed with us. He did not want to sleep in the Pack and Play that has become his second bed. He was better the second night, but generally just wasn't himself until we stepped foot into our house. One look at his exersaucer and he was jumping and squealing with joy. He was so happy, he forgot he was supposed to be hungry!

Despite plenty of naps in the car, the weekend events exhausted our little one. After an attempted dinner of squash last night (which he ate, but wasn't too thrilled about), he refused to eat anything else and, following a quick bath and story-time with Daddy, went straight to bed. He woke up happy this morning, thrilled to have finally slept in his own crib!
