Bye Bye Daddy

Aug 7 - Early early this morning I was woken up by lots of commotion and I wasn't happy that I was being woken up so early. Mommy came in and got me and instead of putting me back to bed she put me in my carseat. I wasn't really sure what was going on until I saw Daddy with suitcases then I remembered him telling me he was going to miss me when he was gone. We all got in the car and headed to the airport. When we got there I got in the stroller and we stood in line for Daddy to get his boarding pass. The line was really long and filled with all different kinds of people. I got so many people to pay attention to me and flirted with almost every girl in line. I was so excited that I almost didn't want to eat my breakfast. After we got through the line we walked Daddy over to the security line and that is where we had to say our goodbyes. Daddy held me tight and told me he loved me. I could tell he didn't want to let me go. But he had to go. So he gave me back to Mommy. Mommy and I were both kinda sad as we walked back to the car. I slept on the way home.

When we got home Mommy pulled up Daddy's flight online and we watched the little red plane on the screen travel all the way to Detroit.

Later, Mommy and I were going to go to the park and meet Nicole and David but they had something come up so they couldn't come. So instead we decided to go over to Grandma and Chachi's house. I got passed around so that I could say hi to everyone. Everyone was there: Erin, Lynn, Chachi, Sean, Grandma, Bailey, Collin, Aidan, and Gavin so I did a lot of passing. I was having such a good time that when Mommy had to run home and let the dogs out she left me there with Chachi. We played on the floor together for a while and then I went to Lynn. She took me upstairs to her room and I played on the bed with her and Aidan while Gavin was in the pack n' play. That is where Mommy found us when she got back. Mommy had brought my green beans from home so I got to sit in the old wooden highchair. I kept trying to chew on the tray. I did really well in the highchair for it being so big and only having one strap holding me in. And since Gavin shared his highchair with me, I shared my knot toy with him. He had a good time chewing on it.

After dinner Sean, Lynn, Erin, Collin, Bailey, Aidan, Gavin, Mommy and I got in three cars and went to the boardwalk. We walked a little and then went and got ice cream (well, they did). It was getting really late so Mommy and I said our goodbyes and then walked to the car. I started to get really cranky since it was passed my bedtime. I cried for a little while in the car but then fell asleep on the way home. I wasn't happy when Mommy woke me up to change my diaper. But she got me back to sleep shortly after that.
