Gwen's First Roadtrip

This past weekend we decided to take Gwen to visit my sister's family in Tucson. I want her to get very used to being on the go, and to our surprise she was so good. Her and I spent most of Thursday and Friday getting ready for the trip. I had to pack a lot of stuff for a little trip. Luckily, she is very well behaved and can entertain herself for a good 15-30 minutes while I get stuff done. She entertains herself by laying naked on her lamb playmat. It's her favorite thing to do; she just kicks and squeals, it is so cute!

We got to Katie's Friday night in time to let Gwen be snuggled and be awake since she slept the whole way there (we only had to stop 1 time to feed/change her on a 7 hour trip). Saturday we had a lazy day and just took Gwen for a walk, cooked, went to Subway, and to the pool.
Saturday night Katie and her friends had their monthly themed dinner parties and it happened to be Katie's turn to host. The theme this week was Italian and there was tons of good Italian food to be eaten. She had almost 50 people at her house (lots of kids!). Diggy had fun playing! Lexie went to a Youth Group party, but got home in time to talk with Katie and I for a bit and hold Gwennie. She's so good with her!
Sunday morning we left pretty early before Katie and her family went to church. Tate and Ells played with Gwen for a little in their PJ's before we had to go.

When we got home Sunday night we gave Gwen her first real non-sponge bath. Her belly button finally healed, so she got to take a bath in the tub. She loved it and was so good!


I hope she is as good this coming Friday as she was for last weekend's travels. This time we head to Illinois! A lot further, but the flight is shorter than the drive we had to make. Wish me luck! I'm just praying she is good on the plane!
