Waylon's First Phoenix Adventure

Last Thursday we flew down to Phoenix to attend a wedding and so Waylon could meet the Manos side of his family.  I have to tell you, baby boy did awesome.  He didn't fuss at all, not even during take off or landing, and passengers and flight attendants kept telling us what a good baby he was!  Hooray for having a little champion traveler!

It really was a whirlwind weekend, I felt like as soon as we got there it was already time to leave.  But man, it sure was nice to get out of the cold and snow for a couple of days!  I also felt like Waylon got to spend some quality time with a lot of important people which is so nice, considering that we live so far away from everyone.

On Thursday night there was a little party at Annabelle's that my parents were also invited to so that everyone could see the baby.  I wish he had been in a better mood but the traveling and messed up sleep schedule turned him into a little crankster.  Not his most charming moment.  The next morning he was pretty refreshed and got to hang out with his grandma.  She fed him and then they sang songs together.  Here is a cute photo of them deep in conversation.

On Friday night we had the rehearsal dinner.  Waylon did not start the night in a particularly lovely mood but after some walking around he went to sleep and we ended up having a really nice night.  Some of the fam has suggested that he might be teething but I don't know.  Isn't it kind of early?  And wouldn't he be in more consistently crappy moods?  Eh, what do I know?

Saturday was the wedding and my first night out since Waylon was born.  It was so nice to dress up in normal clothes again and abandon my baby with my parents for a night of adult fun.  I know my parents really enjoyed the time they got to spend with Grandson #2.  Look how nicely I clean up!  (Scott too)

Then all of sudden it was Sunday and time for us to head back to Connecticut.  We didn't get back to our house until almost 3 in the morning and I woke up yesterday feeling like I was dying.  Thanks, Germ King who sat behind us on the plane.  I really appreciate your inability to turn your head when you cough/sneeze/hack.  I hope the little boy doesn't get sick, but with both Scott and I under the weather, I don't know how he can avoid it.

Sorry this is lame entry, but I'm off to take 2000 milligrams of Vitamin C and snuggle under the covers.  I leave you with a pic of the little beast's reaction to avocados this morning.
