Nashville

This weekend we loaded up the car and headed to Nashville for some very dear friends wedding :). This was the farthest we have ever traveled with Charlie. And let me say, he did pretty dang well :). We left at 1 in Friday afternoon and made it all the way to Jackson, TN before we had to stop. Charlie slept almost the whole way there. Then we walked around Walmart in Jackson for a while to give Charlie a break from his car seat. When we got back in the car he went back to sleep. He did so well in the car. Once we arrived at the hotel it was dinner time for Charlie. So, we fed him, bathed him, and tried to put him to sleep but he was not having it! He didn't go to sleep until about 10:15 and this past week he has been going to sleep around 7:30. Oh well, we aren't too concerned with time schedules.

We are in the process of transitioning Charlie out of his nap nanny. This is a process. He LOVES the nap nanny and sleeps so well in it but on Wednesday morning I was laying in bed watching tv with Charlie lounging in his nap nanny and he rolled over in it. So I decided it was time to put it away. Charlie all of a sudden loves to roll...back to tummy....tummy to back...it doesn't matter. So we are having to put away a lot of things... So, his sleep has been a little restless lately, but he is starting to get used to having so much room. So he woke up once in the night both nights this weekend but slept till almost 9:15 in the mornings...which was glorious for me and Matt.

Saturday we got up, got ready, went and ate lunch and then it was wedding time. It was great to see some old friends and catch up with people we haven't seen in a while and let them meet Charlie! After the wedding we went to the mall and ate Cheesecake factory with Matt's parents and my parents. It was awesome. And yes I had cheesecake.

It was quite different staying in a hotel with a baby. Washing bottles, feeding baby, bath time.....so many things were an adventure this weekend. But, Charlie was such a trooper the whole time :)

Coming home he didn't sleep as much and we had to make more stops but that's ok....I kind of enjoyed being able to stop and stretch my legs so much :)....

Well, today was my first day back at work. I missed Charlie a bunch. I know he was in good hands all day, but I couldn't help thinking "I would so much rather be home cuddling and playing with my sweet boy."  Hopefully this week will go by fast :)
