Noah Goes on Vacation

Josh had to go out East for a work trip and we decided it would be a good time for Noah and I to join since it was his third (and hopefully last) time having to go. And now that he is 6 months old, he's a little easier to travel with.

It went quite well. The driving was the worst part. We left around 1am the first night and got to our destination about 3pm that afternoon. He slept really good for a long time, but around noon he was just done. Didn't help that he was cutting 2 teeth that day and just wanted to snuggle, but all things considered he did really good. On the way home we drove 7 hours, stopped over night, then drove the last 5 hours and that didn't really help much. As soon as we put him back in the car seat he knew what he was in for lol Even now, a week later, he still gets that look in his eye when we get the car seat out... poor kid lol 

Once we were there he was great. We did our best to follow his normal routine as much as possible, and he adjusted really well. Everyone kept commenting on what a cutie he is and what a good baby he must be. We were coming out of our room the same time as our neighbors one morning and they were surprised to see we had a little baby, they said they didn't hear a thing all night. Which is surprising because this little guy is quite vocal these days... he loves to squeal and squawk. 

He got to go through Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, swim in the pool for the first time, touch the Atlantic ocean, and test out toys at Daddy's work. 

And now for picture overload (these are all cell phone pictures):

Such a good employee...on a work call while driving over the George Washington bridge in New York City.

 Mom, what is going on here?

 He's just so cute when he sleeps :)

 This is where Daddy's new office is...pretty cool old building.

 Oh ya know, just practicing for my senior pictures.

 Daddy's pride and joy... happy baby in the server room :)

 Did too much work. Must nap.

 It was just too much for Noah to handle.

 In a building literally surrounded by toys and what does Noah want to play with?

 Waking up from a nap :)

 Playing in the chair and watching/listening to the construction outside. His favorite thing to do while we were there

 Time to go swimming!

 Not too sure about it...

 As long as he had his lobster he was good.

 Dinner on the patio!

 Our little hoodlum!

 Had to pack up a bunch of stuff to bring back...don't forget to pack the baby!

 Getting out some energy in Ohio, so close to being home

So excited to go home!!! :)
