This was a really big week … on Saturday the 19th we left on our first vacation … we were just going up to West Virginia to meet mommy’s friend Naomi from her message board but it was a vacation none the less … On the way to West Virginia daddy got a phone call from the head chef at a country club where he wanted to work – they wanted to hire him starting Sunday … since we were half way there we decided to continue on and just come home early enough for daddy to get to work …

I did pretty good during the ride … mommy and daddy stopped a couple of times to let me stretch out and I even got to have a bottle while sitting outside at a picnic table … I really enjoyed eating in the great outdoors …

Once we got to the hotel we met Naomi and her husband Todd and her children; Terran, Tony and Mia, who was born a month after me … I had a good time watching Tony … he is almost 3 and ran around entertaining me … it was great …

While our daddy’s were playing golf … we all went up to the pool … Tony and Terran went swimming while Mia and I lounged with our mommies … it was really hot out but really nice to be outside …

After we all went back to the room we changed clothes and went out to dinner … everyone stopped by the table to say how cute Mia and I were … I think everyone had a great time hanging out … once back at the hotel mommy and daddy decided it was better to drive home at night so daddy could get some sleep before his first day at work … before we left mommy and Naomi took a whole bunch of pictures of Mia and I and then we loaded up the car to head home … Daddy was very tired but not as tired as me … I slept the whole way home … made it faster not having to stop to feed me or anything …

So daddy started his new job bright and early Sunday morning and they loved him there … I miss him because he is gone a lot more now … but it is great he is working somewhere where he is truly appreciated …

So Mommy and I were on our own a lot this week … we went shopping and hung out at Starbucks and took walks … it was very nice … mommy even gave me a bath for the first time this week … it wasn’t my first bath it was just the first time daddy didn’t give it to me … it was fun … I’ve started kicking my legs and splashing the water with my arms … mommy laughed the whole time … and for an amateur she wasn’t too bad …

On Friday morning mommy and daddy interviewed Berthe to be my nanny … she was really nice and seemed to really like me … she held me and rocked me the whole interview and even gave me a bottle … I really liked her but I will miss mommy so much … we have fun together during the day …

I’ve been sleeping really well this week too … most nights from 10:00 PM all the way till 7 or 7:30 … mommy is not quite sure what to do with all the sleep she is now getting … but she sure tells me a lot what a good baby I am …
