Baby's 1st Roadtrip Part III

Saturday we woke up bright and early for Addy's first full 5K. Daddy ran his first race (41 min, 38 sec), while mommy and Addy walked (49 min, 51 sec). Sarah and Juan also ran. Then we took a nap in the afternoon, before mommy and daddy went to see Aunt Sarah's chalk walk picture and then went to the FW Tincaps game. Addy got to see Aunt Sarah's chalk walk with grandma, later in the afternoon.

Sunday we got up early again for church, and then went to Great-great-grandma's 100th Birthday party. Great-great-grandma was very excited to meet the youngest of her large family. After the party, we came back to grandma's to clean up and start to pack up the house.

Monday, Addy slept a full 8 hours! We packed up and said goodbye and headed to the Gentry house. We had brunch and then we left for home. Addy did great, sleeping the first 3 hours before we all stopped for food. About an hour after that, daddy thought Addy might need a diaper change, since she still wasn't falling asleep. Oh the poop surprise that awaited us! After cleaning that mess up, we got home to a large thunderstorm. We didn't quite get everything unpacked, but we made it home after a long, fun vacation!

Baby's 1st Roadtrip Part II

On Tuesday, Addy and mommy had a relaxing day, before meeting mommy's friends for dinner at Granite City. Everyone thought she was so cute-and we found out that another friend of ours was pregnant!

On Wednesday, Grandma Badenhop had to stay home from work and rest her ankle, so Addy and her hung out while mommy had a workout and made homemade apple crisp. In the evening, we went for a walk with grandpa and Toby around the neighborhood.

On Thursday, we had Casa's for lunch, then surprised Granddad Gentry at work. Then we went to Grandma Gentry's house and visited with the Gentry aunts. We took a walk around the Grey Fox neighborhood and had delicious homemade ice cream.

On Friday, Addy, mommy, Sarah and Juan went to the FW zoo. Addy really enjoyed the part she was awake for-mostly the Great Barrier Reef building with all the fish. Then we went to visit her third set of great-grandparents and great-aunts-the Hubers. Then daddy came back home-Addy slept through most of the greeting, but Toby sure was excited!

That concludes part 2 of 3.

Baby's 1st Roadtrip

Addy's first vacation was very busy but so much fun!

Our drive out on Friday was pretty good-only about 15 min of screaming. Then Saturday, she got to meet her great-grandma, Grandma Crippes, at lunch at Flannigans. Then she got to hang out with her Gentry aunts, went to church and met Father Jim, and then went to Roanoke and met some of the Gentry friends.

On Sunday, the 4th of July, she got to meet another great-grandma, Grandma Gentry. She also met Uncle Gary's family and her rockstar pseudo-uncle Jordan and his family. She also had her first fireworks show, which she slept through.

Then on Monday, daddy left her with mommy for her first overnight without him. That day, daddy also ate a huge ice cream sundae, the Mad Anthony from Atz's.

That was Part 1 of 3 of the vacation.

Working on Sitting!

Addy is doing much better now. We had 2 good days of napping and playing. Yesterday, during her first nap though, we had the cable repair-lady out, so Toby was put outside, but Addy still woke up. Partway through, the lawn guy came. Thankfully Toby could stay out in the yard! What a busy morning :)

Today we went to visit my work friends. Everyone was saying how cute she was. She was supposed to be napping, but there was way too much going on. She was a little crabby, just because she was so tired. I also took her to the doctor to check her weight, again. Today she is exactly 10 pounds! Double digits! I think she's gained about half a pound since baptism-getting big, but thankfully not too fast :) The doctor is happy now, so we don't have to keep coming back to check her weight. Yea Addy!

She was a little tough to get to sleep when she got home, but I just let her cry in her swing for 5 min and now she's out cold. Hopefully she stays asleep for awhile before her bath tonight-she usually loves them!

wow.....

So, I think we have determined that Addy REALLY doesn't do well with her shots. Going back to last month when she had her hep B shot, 4 days later it took us almost 3 hours to get her to sleep, and she had trouble sleeping in general for about 1 week after. It's happening again....

Since Wednesday, she hasn't really slept more than a half hour at a time (except, thankfully at night she is still sleeping the same 6 hours). Hopefully by Monday, we are back to normal and I can get her to take her naps again. Then we need to work on an earlier bedtime so that she sleeps more at night and less in the morning!

Cranky Baby

Well, Addy's been a troublesome little nugget the past few days. She doesn't want to play, she doesn't want to sleep, she doesn't want to eat. Sure, she does a little of everything, but not all at once. A half hour nap here, a 10 min playtime there. We think she's still just a little crabby from her shots a few days ago. She didn't eat well yesterday, but she is more on track again today. Her pooping has picked up again too, 5 dirty diapers today!!! We gave her a bath last night-as long as they are warm enough, she loves them! Although daddy really loves playing with her in the bath too :) We might have to up the frequency of baths, since she likes them so much! We are already thinking about leaving in a week and working on our list of items to pack-we are going to have a full truck! We can't wait to see you all!
