TEXAS

Yes. Texas. We really went to Texas. long car rides, long plane rides and two hour time change. It was quite an adventure. We had gone before when Miles was four months old. Which was fine because at that age he didn't expect much else other than to be held. Now that he is one....he expects nothing less than to explore, explore, explore. This time we were traveling with my mom and seven year old nephew so I really wan not worried about his entertainment value during travel. Last time we went to Texas, Miles was so excited he didn't sleep or eat (I was exclusively nursing at the time so I spent the two and a half hour plane ride very uncomfortably engorged). This time he was the same way. Didn't sleep at all, but he actually did take a moment to speed nurse and snack throughout the trip. Two words of recommendation are TOYS and SNACKS. That combo made a plane ride with a one year old manageable. We left Friday evening and got back the following Tuesday evening so luckily it wouldn't be too quick of a turn around.

So the whole reason we went was because my cousin was getting married! Yayy! It was soooo much fun! And Miles never left the dance floor :) Our little man knows how to party. As long as there is ample music involved. This is his swag-tastic outfit. And seriously...look at that smug face. You are a one year old child! Where did you learn that one?!

 My grandma also lives out there so we spent lots of time with her. Miles just ran around the senior living home which was very entertaining for the residents. The boys were very well behaved and entertained themselves during the visits. Props to them.

This is just Miles being a goofball after a shower. I had to drag him out of it and when I finally did I wrapped him in the hand towel which he thought was hilarious.

Home, sweet home. The ride home Miles was EXHAUSTED so he actually napped for most of the plane ride. Except for the thirty minutes he was squirmy and fussy before hand. But he woke up just in time for landing and couldn't wait to look out of this window as we made it back to LAX.

Wow that was an exhausting trip, but I am so glad that we made it because we got to see a lot of family and had sooo much fun on our adventure to Texas!
