Harlan and Mommys Roadtrip

I would be lying if i said i wasnt nervous about a 5 hour trip by myself with little man. Turns out my worry was for nothing, he did fabulously. On the way to my dads house, Harlan stayed awake the first few hours of the trip. This way the first time his carseat was forward facing in Mommy's car and I think he liked being able to see out the front window and to see Mommy. Around 830, Mommy stopped, got Harlan in his jammies, gave him a bottle with some milk, and got back on the road. After an hour or so, he pulled his blanket up over him and drifted off to sleep. He looked so sweet like that. (Dont worry this picture was taken while I was stuck at a dead stop in construction!)

When little man wasnt busy meeting new people, he spent time playing with an old phone that wasnt working. We werent sure who he was calling but he sure had alot to say! Here is Harlan with the very popular step stool. This step stool cause quite a smackdown between a little man and a slightly older cousin later in the evening. Harlan has taken to posing for pictures when he is in a goos mood. This one says "you still think i am cute right??" This was a very competetive games of football between dad and some of the kids. Harlan is trying to "hike" his shoe through his legs but fell over in the process. He now sometimes walks around yelling "hu, hu, hu, hiiiikeeee" loudly throughout the house. This was harlan attempting to give Brooklyn a hug, but ended up tackling her instead. More football fun

Me, Harlan, my dad, and my sister jennifer

Saying goodbye is sooo hard

He was getting tired and overwhelmed by the end of the trip, and wanted Mommy alot. We really missed Daddy too, bc he could have helped mommy with the clingyness. Mommy didnt mind it (i secretly love it when harlan wants his mommy) but it is very exhausting. I do have to say that on Saturday, little man got very little nap time and met a ton of new ppl, and did superb. HE had his moments, but I was so proud how he handled it all!

This was one of those moments

At breakfast sunday morning. Harlan and Aunt Jennifer

Your so funny!!!

He slept for the first 3 hours of the trip home, using Monkey as a snuggle bunny

Then woke up and had some goldfish and juice as a snack, and judging from the goldfish currently all over my backseat, he had more fun throwing them than he did eating them

Mommy, i am having so much fun on our road trip.

These are videos of Harlan and Bruno the Beast (my sis's dog), who was actually a very sweet dog with tons of energy!
