Angel Traveler

Derek and I figured that we were in a car, or at a rest stop for a total of 27 hours or so total on the drive to and from KC. We also genuinly think we heard Drew cry probably 30-45 minutes total both ways. I think I said to Derek well over 45 times that week that we have the best traveler in the world. This child loves sitting in his car seat playing with his toys and watching his puppies move around in the back. He slept a ton and we couldn't have asked for a better traveler.

One of the 'games' Drew invented on the trip. We called it 'Make Sophie squeak without hands'! -

I also was excited to get to co-sleep with Drew at the hotels we stayed in since we don't do that at our house. To some degree, I would love to be snuggling my baby every night here at home, but the hotel stays confirmed why I don't co-sleep nightly. My motherly sensitivity to my child caused me to wake up every single time he made even the slightest movement or rustle. I probably woke up 29+ times each hotel stay and really didn't get the best sleep at all. But waking up in the morning and seeing his face 6 inches away was the absolute best way to start any day!

 (And yes, that is Drew playing with a tupperware lid up there ^... he LOVED it!)
