Big city boy

We ventured to Chicago with Isaac this weekend. He is a great traveling man! He caught his morning and afternoon naps on the car ride down (we timed that one well). He woke up as happy as can be; he giggled at every noise that came out of Daddy's mouth (ok, I was laughing too - Martin has some noise making skills). We brought Isaac's hippo chair along so he could get out of the car seat and sit right at the table with us for dinner. Isaac slept great in the hotel, it was just like home, we didn't hear a peep out of him until morning. After breakfast and a morning nap snuggled up with Mommy in the bed (what can I say, the pack-n-play was put away and I couldn't resist!), we went to Ikea for some power shopping. We made plenty of new friends while we shopped. We even saw pictures of one lady's 8 month old grand-daughter Maddie who lives in Wisconsin. We learned an awful lot about her. We ate lunch at Ikea and loaded up the car, which, by the way, you'd be amazed to see what can fit in the trunk of a Protege. Martin also has some packing skills. Isaac took his afternoon nap in the car and then entertained us the rest of the way home with his stories, squeals, screams and spits. There's definitely more road trips in the future.
