Landon, Miller and I enjoyed a fun filled trip to Knoxville this weekend. After our car was all packed up on Friday afternoon, you'd have thought we were leaving for a couple weeks. That's how it is with a baby..it doesn't matter if you're leaving for a weekend or a month, if it's overnight you need all the equipment it takes to keep the little guy happy! Miller did beautifully on the trip up to Knoxville. We strategically planned to leave during his afternoon nap time and it worked like a charm. Peaceful sleep for the first hour and a half. Miller played happily with a lap toy for the rest of the trip.
Of course when we arrived, Omi and Grandpa were waiting anxiously to hug and kiss their little grandson. After a yummy dinner complete with his new favorite entree of choice (Gerber's Lil Chicken Stix), Miller was greeted with a Car wash spinning toy as a belated Valentine's gift. He got right to washing cars and squealing with delight.

We learned an important lesson this weekend..check the weather channel before you pack. Little
did we expect Tennessee to get snow on Saturday! Miller was fascinated by the wintry weather but decided to stay home while Landon and Grandpa took a walk. He did enjoy pressing his little nose up against the front door to watch the falling flakes. Mommy sadly didn't pack a hat or a warm coat. Omi and I enjoyed a girl's day while Landon, Grandpa and Miller stayed home watching the flurries. Miller enjoyed & played the day away with Omi's endless Tupperware container of interesting toys. He also enjoyed himself crawling and chasing Armand the dog. And yes, he found the steps and kept flirting with temptation. Omi managed to play "guard" of the steps and block& distact Miller with a colorful book. He is really loving to 
listen to story books and stare at pictures now.

We get in our little mindless rhythm and structures and there they go changing the time on us moms! It causes crankiness from mommies and babies nationwide...well 48 states at least.
Aunt Laurel and Uncle Chad came over Saturday evening for dinner just in time to see Miller parading around the living room on top of a Tupperware lid. By 7:45 (spring forward) time Miller was exhausted and ready for bed. We enjoyed our little get away and now we must spring on toward a new week!
