Road trip to Hoffman Estates

Posted on May 17, 2011 by Erin

Unlike many other babies, riding in the car is NOT one of Natalie’s favorite activities.  As a “city kid,” Natalie can go weeks without ever going in her car seat – which isn’t helping the matter.  So, we took advantage of Uncle Mike being in town (for his brother Chucky’s college graduation!) from Iowa and met him and his Mom (Aunt Lisa) for lunch in Hoffman Estates (half way between Evanston and Rockford, where they are from).

Aunt Lisa, your outfit is so pretty. Would you mind if I spit up on your shirt, vest AND pants?

I know this is silly, but I forget that our aunts are obviously pros with babies.  Even though she might be a little out of practice with her youngest son graduating college last Sunday, Aunt Lisa had no trouble jumping right in.  She ate her entire lunch with Natalie on her lap – something that Jordan and I have not yet mastered.  She also remembered tons of fun games and silly sounds, which kept Natalie smiling.

I love you, Uncle Mike! I'm glad you're a road warrior, so that I've gotten to see you three times since I've been born - even though you live 5 hours away!

But, come on, Uncle Mike... Have you ever tried pooping standing up? Its hard work. Can you please sit me down?
