Hello friends and fellow baby owners. Last entry for the weekend, and it is one that has been brewing for a little bit. We live in Waco, with the majority of our family living in the DFW area, which is roughly a 2 hour trip for us. Upon becoming a father, I also feel like I have taken on the job of first executive assistant to someone very important that has a busy schedule that has to be certain places at certain times scheduled around times of feeding and sleeping. To sum it up, it's hectic trying to leave the house!! With high maintenance dogs that went with us everywhere, we thought we had stressful traveling down. Were we ever wrong. To the point.
It is safe to say that Addy doesn't enjoy the car. She's good for about 1 hour, sometimes we can squeeze an extra thirty minutes, but after that it turns to chaos. I think she gets bored, maybe hungry or sleepy. But most of the time I just chalk it up to out-right mad. Tonight is an unusual night, as Kelly was put on call from work, so she is home with us tonight. However, I figured I would finish out the weekend trilogy because I know that you all wouldn't be able to get up in the morning if you didn't read my blog. Thanks by the way. Anyways, it was a fellow co-workers birthday at Kelly's work, so being the amazing person she is, Kelly baked cupcakes to take up to her work to help celebrate her friend's birthday. We had just completed our nightly run, so Addy was passed out in her stroller (works every time baby). Conveniently, she woke up right as we left to run up to the hospital to drop off the cupcakes. Let the games begin.

Bad planning on our part, we did not even bother to look at the clock to realize it was time to eat. Therefore, Addy was not happy about our little road trip. So, always thinking, I popped on the baby CD. Rainforest Music: Nature's Lullabies. Should have just thrown it out the window because my radio can not play loud enough to mask the baby's cries. As I turned it up, she turned it up. Pretty soon, we had a nice little jam session that sounded like Elton John was playing music for a local screamo band. Here I am trying to enjoy birds chirping and waterfalls flowing, but Addy is screaming a tune more equipped for a KISS concert. Needless to say, I ended up parking the car, taking Addy out of her car-seat, and ended up walking around the parking lot of the hospital. Don't say it, her finger is still exposed, but she is steadily wrapping me around it. All that said, we made it back to the house, got her fed, and then she decided she would give us one more fun event before she turned in for the night. Remember Bella our English Bulldog from the previous post? Like my parents before her, she was officially initiated into the family tonight. While she was here first, you can see where Addy would out-rank her. Bella stood looking up at Kelly while she tried to burp Addy, wondering what was going on. Then she found out. Addy threw up all over Bella's face. Ever seen a dog make bitter-beer face? I now have, or I guess more like bitter-milk face. Other than the funny face, Bella seemed to enjoy the thrown-up milk. Disgusting I know. Well, we made it through another weekend. We're all still alive, and a little less tired. Maybe I am getting the hang of things. We will see. Until next weekend. Keep it real.
Blessings,
-SH
