Firsts

I cannot believe our time in West Virginia is already winding down. We have really enjoyed our visit. Milo has met SO much family. Its just sad to know that it will be some time before they see him again.

Yesterday, we went to one of our favorite spots, Coopers Rock, that has an overlook with an amazing view of the hills. We had a little picnic with my brother "Uncle" Adam. When we first pulled up, we saw the WVU mascot, the Mountaineer, in full costume. I was so excited. Milo and I got our picture taken with him! If you grew up in WV, you know how symbolic the Mountaineer is. It was great.

Milo has had many first while here in WV, but one I am especially excited about... he slept through the night last night! He slept from 10 pm until 5:15 am without waking up once. He fell asleep in his car seat on the way home from Eric and Caroline's. I just left him in the car seat and figured I'd take him out and get him ready for bed at his next feeding. Well his next feeding didn't come until 5:15. I woke up surprised to hear the bird's singing, and looked at the clock. About that time Milo began to wake up. Hopefully he'll be able to sleep just as good in his crib once we get home.

Tomorrow we'll be heading South for Kentucky. I'm not really looking forward to the trip, but I am much more optimistic. I hadn't been giving Milo the pacifier when he kind of stopped showing interest. But in the last half hour of the trip here, I offered it to him and it really appeased him. I have since given him the pacifier a few times in the car, so that should make the next trip better when he starts to reach his limit. But, do say a prayer for safe and pleasant travels.
