Travel Much?


I went back to school on Monday, so the Sunday before we had a little family picnic bonding time outside. It was a beautiful day so we took out Christopher's seat (yes I know about the recall, but come on people.... how stupid can you be???) and played on the blanket.  We had just the right amount of shade out there for us to sit. I wish I could figure out why Christopher is looking at Matt this way- maybe he was trying to sing to him.

Someone turned 4 months this week! Friday actually. So here is his 4 month shot.  We flew out on Friday so we had to cheat and take this on Thursday before we went to the doctor's for his well check up.  Isn't he geting so big? I barely have to prop him up in the corner anymore!
Studying the seams... preparing to understand how to throw a knuckleball.

Here we are on the way home from the doctor's office.  Christopher got 4 shots and a liquid one in the mouth.  It was the same shots as last time, except last time 3 of those were combined... apparently there is a shortage of the combo- so we had 4 pricks this time! I hope I remember his stats right... 15 pounds 10 ounces and 25 and a half inches long.

Checking out his dad.
And our adventure begins!! We headed to West Virginia this weekend to see Michelle and Eric get married! Navigating through the airport was a little different this time. Matt and I are pretty much experts with the ATL airport and know exactly what to do- it was a little different this time taking the elevators everywhere! Christopher got to ride on the "plane train" that took us to our concourse. His eyes got pretty big when it took off!

Here we are waiting on our plane to arrive!

Christopher was such a good plane rider! He was a little tired at the beginning and whined to get settled down before the plane took off.  We gave him his bottle during takeoff and he passed right out for the ride.  He did wake up with about 20 minutes left and was just looking around and staring at everyone! We definitely hit some turbulence during the descent- Thank god I had handed him off to my mom because I had one hand on Matt, one on my mom and my head on Christopher's.
We spent the night in Pittsburgh. Christopher has his travel infant bed, which you may remember from our beach trip hotel stay.  We took it with us and decided after this night that he had outgrown it.  He likes to move way too much to be confined to that thing! As soon as he woke up, I put him in bed with us.
And here we are waiting for the wedding to start. Christopher slept the whole time we waited and through the first part.  Once the priest started talking... so did Christopher so I took him outside. I am sure he would have been fine, but I was just too nervous he would get loud!


So here we are hanging out together outside! Luckily it was a beautiful day in West Virginia.

Really dad? Another picture???


Michelle and Eric let off doves at the end of their wedding! Loved it!

Christopher with Eric! I hope he gets half as tan as Eric!

Of course we had to do the Money Dance and dance with the groom! :) I had thought about letting Christopher dance with Michelle, but didn't want to run the risk of spit up on her wedding dress!

Christopher passed out while we were there so mom took him.  Look at that sleepy arm! And there is the father of the groom- It was a wonderful wedding, Anthony!

Mom, Dad and Christopher dancing.

And lastly, Matt had to take Christopher on the moving walkway. I am sure he loved it! :)

It was definitely a super busy traveling weekend, but it was well worth it! Christopher will be attending his second wedding this weekend coming up in Nashville... so another traveling weekend with a night in a hotel.

Have a great week.. and pray Christopher does too- he starts daycare tomorrow!
