(Side note: I don't know why I always feel a need to justify myself. This is MY blog, after all, not yours.)
Normally it takes six hours to get from our house to Ben's parents' house. We can drive straight through if we have a super-full tank of gas when we leave. With Julie, however (and this was her first time), we had to make several stops. We did the drive in three legs, and I sat in the back seat with her for the second one. I went a little happy with the camera.
We stopped first in Columbus to get her out and feed her. Then we kept going until we got to Cincinnati, where our friends Dave and Erin live. We stopped for an hour or so and had dinner with them, then got back on the road. I was silly and forgot to take any pictures of Julie with the Crowleys. By the end of the whole drive, she was sooooo happy to be out of her car seat and able to play on the floor. It was past her bedtime, but she had been doing big chunks of sleep in the car, so she was awake and happy for an hour and a half after we go to G-ma and Grandpa's house.
This is the desktop picture on our computer right now. I love this little face!
More on this maraca later.
Julie suddenly discovered the buckle on her car seat. She spent several minutes scratching and staring at it, trying to figure out what the heck it was.
Julie seems to have chosen her comfort object. At least for now. She has a "softie" in this washcloth. She enjoys putting it a little into her mouth and sucking her thumb at the same time.
What's this?
Maybe I should eat it to find out...
Mmmmm...tasty!
And to top off the drive, here is a video montage for your viewing pleasure. Sorry for the loud parts...this was shot while we were driving.
