This past weekend my family and I went up to my grandparents house in Pinedale (just about an hour and a half outside payson) to celebrate my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary. This picture was taken right after I had the baby (can ya tell by how tiny he was!) as a anniversary gift to them with all 4 generations!
Being able to escape from the heat was one of the best parts! So, to prepare for Braxtons first road trip, we packed up Braxton's things the night before we left so I could make sure we had everything. But, since this is the first road trip with him and this whole "having a baby" is still new to me, I had no idea what he would go through and what I would need to bring! So, naturally, I went a little overboard, haha. My trunk was pack full to the point that we had to slam it real hard to close it. It's crazy how having a baby really does change everything, including the amount of luggage you bring on vacation! While we were up their Braxton got to meet his one and only great great grandma phyllis, she's 92 years old and still kickin' it, can you believe it?
But the best part wasn't just the cool weather, or the family, or the shooting, but that braxton SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT!!! Yep, that's right, my two month old slept throught the night on vacation. He had been doing it the 2 previous nights before we left and then continued the two nights we were there. I was shocked, but so excited to know we finally figured out the trick. Wanna know our secret?? Well get ready to hear it, you may wanna sit down for this one....night time=bigger diapers. Every night since my son was just a couple weeks old, I am woken up by a baby in wet clothes and sheets. I couldn't figure out why he kept peeing through his diaper when he'd only be down for about 4-5 hours. I kept thinking, "this baby is so tiny, how can he pee that much!" So, I just got used to changing him and his outfit every night. But then, just last week I came up with the brillant idea to put him in a bigger diaper right before he went down. He usually wear a size two, but he's slowly growing out of them and probably within the next couple weeks they'll be too small. So, I figured why not give it a try. And guess what! It worked! Now I know the only reason he was getting up in the night was because his wet clothes would wake him up! Boy was I a happy mama when that was discovered. Overall the trip was a great time, and we've learned Braxton's a great travel baby, so we will definitely be taking more trips this summer!
