Balloons

Yesterday turned out to be a great day! We ended up going to the Balloon Festival. We made it out just in time to see the sky filled with balloons as they were landing near the airport/fairgrounds. Nathan made a comment about how funny it is that adults get just as excited, if not more, than kids to see hot air balloons. But its just so whimsical... people floating in the sky in baskets suspended from balloons?! Anyway... Milo wasn't too impressed until the night glow. We knew he'd like them based on how much he enjoys watching candles... and sure enough once they were lit up... he just watched and watched. It was a lot of fun. And we ran into our new friends that had the smore party the the other night, which again was so great. So we hung around and chit chatted with them for a while.

After the night glow we ran to the grocery store. We didn't get home until about 9:30. I figured Milo would nurse then go right to sleep. Nope. He was wide awake. He didn't end up falling asleep until about 10:40 or so. But he did sleep in his crib until 5:45!! When he woke up at that point, I 'rewarded' him with a snuggle in bed with Momma. He then woke up around 7:30 for a little bit... now he's back asleep in the swing. I am definitely hopeful about crib sleeping, but I still think being patient and not stressing about it is going to be our best bet for a smooth transition.
