Road Trips

We live in NYC, so in order to go visit family on the East Coast, it means renting a car and taking a road trip!  We traveled to Grandma's house this Thanksgiving with the whole pack to Rhode Island.  Both the Tater Tot and Noodles are great car travelers.  Noodles is used to traveling with us and always makes life easy.  The Tot has proven to be a good traveler as well.  He usually sleeps, but when he is awake, he plays and watches the cars out the window, which I guess is mesmerizing.

We enjoyed our three days out of town, since I think we both needed to get out of the city for a few days...Now we are home and prepping for the Christmas holidays.  I can't believe it is already December. Where did November go?

Our little Spud is amazingly 14 months old.  He is a crawling machine and has shown very little interest in walking, I mean, when you are such a fast crawler, why slow it down, am I right?  He is doing amazing and growing so much... He babbles and says a lot of words that mean, well, nothing really.  Noodles is NooDoo or DooDoo.  Dada is Daddy and anything exciting.  And Mama is saved for when we cry.  He was sick a couple of weeks ago, so we kept him out of daycare for a few days and when he returned, he surprised us with knowing his friend Ava's name.  When we arrived in the morning, he heard Ava call to him (she is about 2 months older than the Tot) and he started screaming ABA, ABA!!! It shocked us all and as he squirmed to get down, he raced down the hall to get to his friend while yelling ABA the whole way.  So cute.... My heart was full, but also sad, since my sweet baby didn't even look back to say goodbye.... "ABA".  Another transition huh?

Here we are on our way to Rhode Island!
