March- Vegas

Charlie is much happier. A few days after the last post, he suddenly started being able to reach and grab things. He started playing with his toys instead of just looking at them. Yea! Happy baby.

We went to Las Vegas to see Jeff and Melinda. I should say, I took the kids to Vegas. Jay stayed home. How on earth did I think it would be easy to take a six hour car ride by myself with the kids? Traveling with a baby is so much fun. NOT! Actually, it wasn't too bad. He only screamed for about an hour on the way down. He was very nice once we got there. We had a nice, relaxing time. We didn't do too much, because Zach and Brady got sick, but just being out of my own house was a fabulous vacation. The girls rode their scooters all over the place. We went for a hike at Red Rock. We hiked to a waterfall. Who could have imagined there would be a natural waterfall so close to Vegas? Charlie slept the whole time. The girls enjoyed climbing on the rocks. Hannah had to pack Zach, because Brady got sick when we got there and wanted his Mom to carry him. Poor thing. There is nothing sadder than sick kids. The baby was awake most of the way home, but the girls played with him, and he didn't fuss. Overall, it was a good break, but I think Jay got the vacation of my dreams. Being home alone for a few days with no responsibilities. Sounds like heaven.
