This Is The Day: Arizona!

Arizona!

Last fall I decided that going to Arizona with T would be no problem with a two month old. I figured she would be sleeping 8 hours by then, and would be easy peasy. Little did I know she would only be sleeping 4 hours at a time, and not be the easiest baby. :P

Thankfully she actually did MUCH better than I thought she would! She fell asleep just before we boarded the airplane and slept for an hour and half before waking up to eat. She ate and then had some happy wake time and then we were on the ground.

She was tired and ready to sleep when we landed so she got fussy while we were waiting, but I put her in the Moby wrap and she fell asleep on the way to baggage claim. She slept all through waiting for the bags (the airport was crazy crowded), the shuttle, and getting our rental car. Good girl!

We actually went down a day early so T could enjoy Arizona a little. Normally he is busy with the conference the whole time. We got to relax and go shopping...like actual shopping where you get to try clothes on and spend more than five minutes dashing in and out of a store grabbing what you need. Haha. Both of us got some new clothes...that hasn't happened in ages! We also hit the going out of business Gymboree sale and got $600 worth of kids' clothes for $110! Score!!

We took this picture for the girls...180,000 Legos were used to create this cactus sculpture!

Baby girl was pretty easy-going and for the most part she just went along for the ride. Of course that included lots of sitting in the car for feedings or making sure we got back to the hotel for her next one, but she did really well.

I think she was loving the undivided attention from Mommy and Daddy! :)

The first night was rough as she went to bed at 11 and woke up at 1:30, 2:30, ate at 4, and woke again at 6:30. But then the second night she slept 8 hours straight!!! And of course hasn't done it again since. :P

Our bathroom looked like this the whole time and I actually used the entire bar of hotel soap! I "did laundry" in the sink twice a day to keep her in clean bibs and burp rags,

We were on the other side of the resort for the first time and the view of the golf course and pond were beautiful!

Unfortunately it rained on and off the whole time and I think 62 was the warmest it got but compared to freezing temps and snow at home it was great! We also got a couple of gorgeous sunsets!
