Well, my mom and I took both boys on their first road trip. We went just north of Chicago for my cousin Jodi's wedding. The wedding was the night we got there. It was a lot of fun. I was completely exhausted by the end of the night! The next day we went to a local working farm so Cameron could pet some animals and run around. Then we went to see my mom's cousins on her dad's side of the family. The next day we went on a trip through Elgin. This is where my mom was born and lived until high school. She and my uncle reminisced about all the old homes they lived in and places they ate and played. We stopped at many different places. This was a long day of driving and both boys did amazingly wonderful! Even in good moods (until Cam's nighttime breakdown). The last day we went to Wisconsin, stopped in a couple cheese factories to pick up some cheese and then went to see my mom's cousins on her mothers side of the family. They have a lake house and it was just a perfect little vacation home. I could live there. Cameron took a long nap that day, so had a little more downtime. The trip home really went fine too. So, now I know we can make a road trip, however, I don't think I'd go longer than what we did. It's hard stopping all the time for feeding Trevor and potty breaks and it's a long time for kids this age. We are home for a week and then we are going on a trip to Florida with Zach's parents. So, I'm going to spend the day today doing laundry and getting things unpacked before I have to repack for next week.
Trevor has gotten so much stronger this last week. He is now sitting by himself very well. He catches himself most of the time now. He is also scooting well. He gets up on all fours and rocks back and forth and then jumps forward (like a frog). If he could just figure out how to get his arms moving, he'd be crawling. I think it will be soon!!
