Road Trip and an Invitation

We took our first road trip last weekend to visit relatives in PA. Charlie did great on the way up. He also slept at our bedside each night instead of on our chests. We're very proud of him. Since coming home, he has slept in his co-sleeper all by himself each night and for naps! We're pretty sure he's the best baby ever.

He really enjoyed meeting his cousins and aunts and uncles. Highlights of the weekend include: taking a nap on Aunt Evy and Futurecousin, seeing his first MLB homerun with Uncle Gerry, meeting all of Dee's animal friends, playing with William and Kaleigh, meeting Duder, and having his path named. We'll have pictures of Charlie's Chase (his path at Gram and Popi's) soon. Oh, and he got his first hoagie from Peppino's.

The trip home was not quite as smooth because Charlie was breaking out with what I think was contact dermatitis. We did get to stop and have dinner with Dave, Christy, and Sam. He felt better after the break and slept the rest of the way home. He was also a hit at lunch at Costco. The Moby wrap got him lots of attention and one woman enjoyed seeing a napkin tucked in to protect his head from mustard drippings from my hot dog.

Charlie will be baptised on July 6 at our neighborhood church at the 11:30 mass. We will have a get together here at our house afterward. Please join us if you are in the area.
