Travelin' Baby!

I know this is the WRONG way to have him strapped in and I promise to
 all the mommies this won't happen in the future!

Only a batman onesie and a fine pair of boots could carry this kid to Virginia! We took Silas on his first long road trip ( 3.5hrs) to Smith Mountain Lake and Salem to see the rest of his family now that he's such a big boy. He did ok with this trip, but we learned Silas's stimulation max was far exceeded with all of the people and change in environment this go round. He was held by at least 15 different people and was at two different houses plus in the car WAY more than he's used to.

Despite our little boy getting stressed, it was a good trip and we had a great time seeing everyone.

I some how missed taking pictures at the lake, but Silas got lots of time with his Nana and Grandpa Young. He also got to try out a new portable swing Nancy's co workers bought her for the little guy!! Andrew wants an adult size version.

Silas has also been making his way to Cornelius NC and seeing his family there on a regular basis. More pictures to come soon of his adventures there. He gets to visit them this Sunday!

We love that Silas is so adored by everyone! He hasn't started any crazy antics yet so I get to just talk about how sweet and perfect he is right now. Mostly this early in his life is us learning how to read this little man and vice versa. Having only raised puppies and kittens, it is amazing how smart and dynamic the relationship is with our baby. It is also amazing how much like a little man cub he is right now. Understanding the fine line between how basic he needs are and how complex his development is, is a real dance. Its such an awesome experience.
