Rockport

We decided that since things went well with the inspections, we would be able to travel to Rockport for a quick visit with family. Today was the drive. Milo woke up at 8am, and we let her play for a while before we left. We ate breakfast, packed up, and were out on the road by around 10am. We planned it this way so that Milo would (hopefully) nap as soon as we hit the road.

Milo napped from 10:30-11, and then she refused to go to sleep until 3:30, for some reason. Even then, she only slept an hour even though she was desperately tired. Overall, she was really good in the car until she got tired.

On the way to Rockport, we stopped at Whataburger and I finally got the burger I’ve been craving. Chase made good use of our time in the car and made some phone calls about the house. Milo was pretty good, and Chase was able to talk without having to deal with much fussing.

We made it to Dad’s at ~2:45. Milo loved playing at the toy box that dad has had in the living room forever. We were afraid that she would put all the toys in her mouth (they’ve been in there at least 16 years and never once washed) but she just had fun taking the toys out of the box. She got them everywhere! She was also very interested in climbing the fan, but we couldn’t let her do that.

After her nap, we all went out for supper at Charlotte Plummer’s. Milo had a feast: new baby food (spinach, zucchini, and peas), some baked potatoes, shredded cheese, and a taste of ketchup (Dad insisted on those final two items).

Today might have been her worst performance at a restaurant. She’s becoming adamant about eating what we’re eating, so she got fussed pretty early, despite giving her baby food. The baked potato calmed her pretty well. We also gave her water in her little cup, which she always loves.

After dinner, we went to Mom’s and visited with Matthew and Stacy for a few minutes. Then we headed over to Steven and Blanca’s for a quick hello before Milo’s bed time. They were all happy to see her and amazed at how big she’s gotten. There were lots of comments on her healthy thighs.

Milo went to sleep at 8:30, and then we spent some time hanging out and relaxing. Not a bad day.
