Over the river and through the woods

This weekend we went to your grandmother's (not abuela's) house for the first time! Overall I'd say the trip was a great success. You screamed pretty much the whole way there, but were your usual charming self again for most of the time we were there. You really got to spend some QT with your grandma and far far, and Daddy and I got in some much needed naps.
And you made a little (HUGE) new friend. Mateo is only 4 months older than you but he is gigantic! We thought you were a bruiser, but Mateo makes you look like a feather-weight. Don't worry, you'll catch up soon, and then you'll be able to play rough and tumble with that big guy. But then Mommy's back will be destroyed from picking you up and holding you all day and night!
You are still having some sleeping issues but we had a really good ride home and you actually slept in the car most of the ride instead of screaming. I think we are almost at a break-through point with the pacifier too. You don't gag on it so often and will take it for a little while without screaming like I'm trying to stick a hot poker in your mouth.
All in all it was a really nice weekend. I'm so glad that both sets of your grandparents are so close by, and you'll get to see them so often growing up.
