What in the world. Sonora is in her seventh month of life. When did this happen??
She had quite the adventure already, too. On her 7-monthday, we took a cross-country trip in a motor home to Michigan with my sister-in-law’s inlaws who are from the neighboring town of where I grew up. Did you catch all that? And it went fabulously.
Some updates: she is still figuring out how to crawl, but during her time in the Midwest she cut not one, but TWO teeth! And she handled it like a champ. She finally got to meet her Uncle Nathan, Auntie Heidi and her two-week-old baby cousin Arianna for the first time. She also had her first airplane ride and while her airport experience wasn’t the greatest (shriek city), she did really well on board.
As for me, well I plan on just staying quiet about the whole visit because I think everyone knows by now how conflicted I get. It’s definitely harder now with her being so far from grandparents. But home is where the heart is, right? And like I said before, it makes our trips back so much more special.
Anyway, we are having such a great time with her – I still look at Ryan in wonder sometimes and ask, “can you believe we have a daughter??”
I love her so much.
Love,
Laura
I’m glad the wonder continues. I keep doing that with Jason… “Dude. We have a BABY. And I’m feeding her from my BOOB.” It’s all so surreal! Sonora is a doll. :)
xoxoxo
I think it is so awesome that you drove in a motorhome with her! I want to take the ladies down to Mississippi in one but my husband is less than keen on the idea. Did you like it? Was it easy? Did you let her roam free a little bit while driving? I don’t really know what the rules are with that.
nadja – it was GREAT traveling with her. it was super easy since we didn’t have to make rest stops and yeah, i let her roam free (though it’s technically illegal…so yeah) and i put her in her car seat to sleep. i don’t think traveling that way is really highly approved for safety reasons but you can look up the “rules” and see how comfortable you are with it.
cameron – the gift of wonder just keeps on giving!
