3 Months Old!

Our little Boo Bear turned three months old yesterday! I can't believe how quickly these first three months have flown by. I need a pause button to enjoy my sweet little baby a little longer! I could say we enjoyed a very nice dinner out to celebrate Boo's 1/4 birthday but we didn't even realize it was the 27th until we were already there. But we can pretend. :)

As you can probably guess, we did end up going with T to his conference. Bug laid on the couch chair for three hours straight on Monday, sleeping on and off, and then popped straight up and said, "I'm better now Mommy!" and was off and running. We tried to get her to slow down but there was not stopping her. So we packed up the car and left.

The ride down was...interesting. Both girls started out asleep but when we stopped to use the restroom (since it was the last facility there would be until we got there) they both woke up. I took Bug to the bathroom but she just sat there and wouldn't do anything. Fifteen minutes down the road..."I have to go potty!" Great. Big pile of brush or medium size rock? Take your pick. And of COURSE it couldn't be a simple #1...had to be #2. On the side of the road. Napkins from the glove box. Yay.

Moving on. We got another 45 minutes down the road and Bug started asking to get in my lap. Bad sign. Whenever she asks to sit in my lap when we are in the car it usually means something bad is going to happen. I asked her if she felt ok. She answered yes, but then she started getting really whiny. Her face started to change. I told T we'd better pull over. We were on a really windy, steep canyon road with no shoulder. I'd seen that look before so we pulled over anyway. We almost made it. But not quite. Up came the apple and crackers that I'd given her in hopes of settling her stomach.

So we were standing on the side of the road, Bug stripped down to her undies and shivering, trying to clean apple chunks out of the car. We didn't want to get the suitcase out in our precarious location so we just put her back in the car with no clothes on and wrapped her in her blankie. Thankfully that was the last time she threw up and we made it to the resort with no further problems.

I think that place is jinxed. Bug got sick when we went there last June and I had morning sickness so bad that I left my mark on the side of that road as well. TMI, I know. I'm thinking that maybe we shouldn't go when T has his other conference in June. I've cleaned up enough vomit for the time being. :) Thankfully the ride home was uneventful and both girls slept almost the entire way.

And other than all the messes we had a good time! The resort was beautiful, as before, and despite what I thought last year it really wasn't any harder having two to take care of. We spent time at the park both days. We stayed for over an hour each time and barely missed getting dumped on by a huge thunderstorm on Tuesday. The town is built around the lake so almost everywhere you go is a "lake view". It was very pretty.

I thought I remembered taking a picture of Bug on this same set of stairs last year so I got another one.

What a difference a year makes!

And this one was a complete accident. Or as Bug says, an "axe-ih-didn't".

I had forgotten that I took this picture.

I was thinking while we were there that as a parent you really have to sacrifice a lot of your own desires. Both girls slept terribly and woke us up at least two dozen times the first night. Bug's fever came back and she kept waking up and crying, and in turn waking her sister up. The next day I was sooo tired. I just wanted to take a nap, or relax and read a book but I couldn't do any of those things.

There are a lot of un-kid things to do at the resort...hot tub, spa, weight room...that would have been fun but of course they weren't an option with two little ones in tow. We spent our time at the playground, watching Clifford, reading books and picking dandelions. BUT the pros of parenthood definitely outweigh the cons. I wouldn't trade these two for ANYTHING! I am so thankful for my sweet girls...even when they are driving me crazy. Haha :)

I just hope our next trip down there isn't quite as...eventful.


Happy 3 monthday Boo!
