Just me and mom

Last week, mom took me on a trip so that she could visit her friend, Krissie, who just had a baby. Jacob was born three weeks ago. He's really tiny.

My mom says he has the biggest beautiful baby-eyes ever. I guess they're alright.
Mom wouldn't let me touch Jacob that much though. I was good the whole time I was there, even though I hardly got any sleep. This was basically the only chance I got to touch him. I mean, all I wanted to do was climb over him and maybe squeeze him a bit. That's what buddies do isn't it?
O well. I guess I really didn't care all that much. While mom and Krissie hung out, I played really well by myself. I was so excited to see stairs!! We don't have any at our place and I climbed all the way to the fourth step!
On the way back home, we stopped at Grandpa and Grandma's house. I took a very much needed 2 1/2 hour nap on the way there. When I woke up, mom decided to stop at a rest stop and let me crawl around for a while. The leaves tasted pretty good.
When we got to Grandpa and Grandma N's house, I found a WHOLE bunch of toys just begging to be played with! They even let me keep some!! Mom muttered something about me having way too many toys already but I say, "Bring 'em on!"

This was one of my favorite things to play with. I loved spinning the globe around and around.
THIS was a lot of fun too! Grandpa gave me a long ride in the wagon. I got sick of being in the back of the coaster, so by the end of the ride I was on my knees, holding the front edges.
This was something else G & G N had for me. A TRACTOR!! My feet don't touch the bottom yet, but hopefully when I get it for Christmas my feet will be long enough to reach the floor.
Guess what? Mom let me eat my first french fry! It had a weird taste, but it didn't really care. I was really tired while I was at Grandpa and Grandmas. I was happy a lot, but I was very tired a lot too. Mom gave me a french fry to keep me happy. It did the trick--for a while.
Mom and grandma went shopping and had a lot of fun while Grandpa and I hung out. I gave him kiss after kiss after kiss. I think mom was a little jealous, but she has to understand that I don't see my grandparents all the time.

I slept for 2 hours on the way home. Then I cried the rest of the way. 1 hour. I was mad that mom shoved me in the car seat again. I was tired and I wanted to see my dad already! I missed him so much after being gone for three days! When we got home I was so happy! Everything was just like I remembered!! I climbed up to my toy box, grabbed a bunch of toys and threw them out one by one. It was so good to be home--but I had a lot of fun on our trip!
