The Deardurff Family: Road Trip

Last weekend, we went on our first family of 3 road trip to visit our friend Nick or as he is now called, Giada's Uncle Obie. Giada did pretty good. She didn't eat well when we stopped on our way to Greensburgh. I think the bright lights at the gas station were too distracting. She slept for the first stretch, then Mommy rode in the back with Giada after we stopped to feed & change her. Mommy was able to keep Giada entertained with minimal fussiness until she fell asleep yet again. We made it in 4 hours. Of course Giada was slightly off her "normal" routine being out of town, but she (and I) still managed okay.
Giada is still sleeping through the night - 8 1/2 to 9 hours. Mommy and Daddy are so thankful and feel so blessed that we have such a good baby.
Next week Giada will be 3 months old - OH MY! We are all starting to do a bit more both during the day and at night. I am a huge germ-a-phobe because I hate the thought of my baby being sick (yes, I know, I will have to get over this because she will eventually, inevitably get sick, but I want to put that off as long as possible). Plus it helps that she is on a predictable feeding/napping schedule. Last night we went back to our lifegroup. We had a shower for my sister and it was so good to see everyone. We saw my cousins' baby girl (who we hadn't seen since May) who is 7 months older than Giada. WOW! It was crazy to see what we are in store for in such a short amount of time. Wren is eating solid food (pizza, oranges, yogurt) and is mobile. It makes me want to soak up every minute of my little baby and excited for all that the future holds.
