Well we made it back from MS late Wednesday night. Our trip was wonderful! It was so hard to leave. The trip started with daddy helping us to the gate at the airport. Jarrod was able to get an "escort" pass which was great because the Austin airport was very busy and it would have been hard for me to do it on my own. Bo did wonderful on the flights, everyone commented on what a great baby he was. I was very lucky and sat next to a new dad, a grandmother, and a mom and her 13 month old on the different flights. I knew that if he did have a meltdown they would all understand!
Once we got to my parent's house Bo was ready to play he didn't realize it was 12:00AM! My parent's were so excited to see him so I think we all stayed up until 1:00am, oh well I quickly learned baby's schedules don't work on vacation! Since he's the first grandchild my parents don't have names yet so I think we're going to try Pop and BeBe, until they change their mind again.
We were so busy our entire stay. Bo got to meet so many people, every day we were introducing him to someone new and of course they all thought he was adorable!! We had sushi with Uncle Barney and Emily, lunch with my friends John, Neeli, and their new baby Jamison, we went swimming a few times, cooked out at my brother's one night, had family over for dinner at my parent's house, took Bo to where my mother works to show him to everyone there, took him to all the neighbors, and then to my grandmother's neighbors! We didn't stop!!! Bo absolutely loved everyone and did great with all of the new people. He definitely takes after mommy being a little social butterfly!
The best part was to watch my parents with him! It's so amazing to watch your parents become grandparents. My aunt once said "You love your children, but you're in love with your grandchildren" and my mom will tell you that's exactly true. When we first got off the plane mom was already in tears she was so excited to see him...I don't think I even got a hug!! She fed him every meal, every bottle, changed his diapers, helped with baths, got him dressed, played with him, would watch him on the monitor while he slept, watched Sesame Street with him...didn't leave his side. My dad was the same way! I was like...who are these people??? It's amazing what a grandchild will bring out in someone. They have that deep down, gut wrenching, I would give my life for you love for him. Friday night mom was rocking him to sleep and she started crying so I asked what was wrong and she said she didn't want us to leave (we didn't leave until Wednesday)! So after 3 nights of watching that I started putting him to bed. Wednesday was one of the hardest days ever. My mom was devastated when it was time to leave, as was I. Thank you Pop and BeBe for a wonderful stay, we love you both so much. Thank you too for all the clothes and cute books (my child would have no clothes if it weren't for my mom constantly shopping for him). We miss you already!!
