well, it was time to go back to rexburg idaho.
it was our best friends, steve and gwen's daughter sienna's 1st birthday!
i can't believe that little girl is one!
last time we were in rexburg everton was in my belly, so coming back to rexburg with an actual baby in tow felt really weird yet awesome. it was fun to show him where brett and i met, lived, went to school, etc. as he mindlessly sucked his fingers.
this trip was also the longest everton's been in the car.
and as many of you know, he HATES his carseat. he shrieks the minute he knows we're putting him in it.
BUT one thing helped us to keep our sanity during the drive...
keep a bottle in his face!! i'm still breastfeeding but not as often so formula has become our saving grace.
we give him a nice full bottle, he polishes it off, and then he's snoozin away. he did SO great on the trip. even better than when we would drive to salt lake city, which is only 30 mins. and the drive to rexburg is about 4 hours.
he's also a lot more aware so toys now keep him occupied a lot longer than before and where his carseat is positioned he knows to look up and there i am.
the birthday girl!!
they're betrothed. so what if sienna is 6 months older?
he'll catch up.
but there sure were a lot of other baby bachelors at the party so everton does have some competition.
but his hair always gets the ladies in our ward, even if they're like 60 years old.
gwen! i miss her SO FREAKIN much. i miss living close where we'd have game nights or vegging out nights.
but a 4 hour drive isn't bad.
traveling and sleeping somewhere else really does mess up everton's schedule a lot. he definitely knows when he's not in his own crib. last night being back home he did wake up a few times squawking but then went back to sleep.
EEEEE i LOVE him SOOOO much.
and brett too.
I love how his outfit matched his cast! :) btw, is that mirror one that hangs on the back seat, or is it attached to something else?
