Clay's First Trip

We headed back to Belvidere this past weekend to visit with family and friends for the first time since Clay was born. WOW! Babies require a lot of stuff for a trip away from home. And amazingly enough- we actually used almost everything we brought (except all the "just in case" outfits).

Clay did a great job both ways in the car. He slept for about 3 hours each way before we needed to stop and get fed. Each time we stopped he decided to fill his diaper to the brim and beyond right before we got back on the road - pretty good timing so we didn't end up with a messy car seat. We had a great time up at home and got to see lots of people without ever having to leave the Boyle or Swinter houses. It amazing how people flock to a baby. Everyone loved Clay and he was a good boy while people were holding him and playing with him.

Clay had his first swimming pool experience at Grammy Jan and Papa Steve's house. The jury is still out over whether he liked it or not. He was fine with his feet being in but completely unsure once we were belly button high.

All in all it was a great trip and we all had so much fun seeing everyone! Hopefully we will be seeing everyone again soon.

Pictures to come when Brian gets home from work....
