Travel Bug

Our little family has been all over the MidWest the last few weeks.  We've driven to Minnesota and back then up to Michigan again.  It's busy but SO worth it.  Our little man is the best little traveler.  




During the drive we took turns sitting in the back.  He's happy as can be when someone is by him!  We read books, ate prunes and played with some new toys.  


In between trips we went to the hospital again for another swallow study.  This one was much more fun! He is still looking great and we got to try straws, cups and baby puffs.  He has two little teeth now so we are able to introduce more different types of food! 

Stinker...

Our trip to Michigan was just wonderful.  Brian and I spent a whole week at my parents.  We spent an afternoon at Rachel's house trying to get our GingerCrafts show stuff all ready.  But we got distracted by super cute babies.  Charlotte loves Brian.  Hugs and snuggles him all the time!  




Or smothers him and uses his body to sit up :)  They are going to be best friends.  


My parents were super nice and watched Brian for a night so that all the sisters and their husbands could go out for dinner.  We picked Saugatuck so it was a little closer drive for Carl to meet up with us.  The night was just beautiful.  We had dinner at a bar by the river and then hiked some crazy tall stairs so we could run down a sand dune.  The sunset on the other side was totally worth it.  And we are very out of shape! 




I love all these people. 



Auntie Gracie, Uncle John, my cousins Erika and Stacy (and Stacy's adorable girls) all came up from Missori to visit while we were there.  We kayaked, swam, boated and ate too much.  It was perfect! 



They're so sporty. 




Brian turned 11 months at the lake!! Cutest picture ever. 

This is my husband.  He's a bit ridiculous. The neighbors had their Beer Olympics when we were there.  It includes a giant slip n slide, flippy cup, this crazy blender and a lot of very fun people.  I had bruises the next day...  Here's a video of that blender! 

  





We did smores and lanterns at night.  This place is heaven for little kids.  I can't wait to see Brian get to grow up here!  And Maddie is the sweetest girl ever.  Brian loved her. 



My little man is growing up!  He went for his first ride in a grocery cart and loved it.  He was talking and kicking his feet the whole time! We are now back in Peoria and plan to be here for almost a month.  Our little family is looking forward to it!  Brian always seems to sleep and eat better when he has a more consistent schedule.  We're going to try and fatten him up a little bit before his birthday party with Charlotte.  :) 


We just love him to pieces.  

And some videos!  A few are a little long...
