After we all returned home from the beach, we were back into the swing of things! It was so nice having a week off for vacation, but it was a return to full chaos with nanny shares and work trips!
The house was full of babies as usual...Tyler and Nico (our nanny's son) have really started bonding and it so fun to watch them play together!
The week also included a trip to Ben's office so that his coworkers could see little Tyler, book club, and a quick trip to Alabama for work.
After I came back from my work trip, we were able to squeeze in one last lunch with Amanda before she headed off to Chicago, and that very same day we also took a trip to Urgent Care because our nanny, Lina, fractured her big toe at our house.
Talk about feeling terrible...but she is recovering nicely thanks to her walking cast!
Our weekend was chill (other than the trip to urgent care). Ben was able to get racquetball in on Saturday and I was able to get a spa day in on Sunday!
The following week it was back on the road as I headed to Raleigh for work. While in Raleigh, I received a phone call from Lina alerting me that my little man had finally decided to start crawling. I knew it was coming!!! Hooray for Tyler!!!
As a mom, you feel horrible for missing those pivotal moments, but I know there are lots of "firsts" that many parents miss.
As working parents, it's just not possible to be there every second...as much as we would like to!
But man, Tyler is motoring everywhere now!!! We can't stop him!
However, I did make it home in time for Tyler's 8 month birthday and his first airplane ride!
We headed to DC last week and had a great time visiting Ben's family!
Highlights included steak dinners, trips to the Smithsonian, a night out with our friends on Friday, brunch with friends on Saturday (they were all able to meet Tyler which was awesome), and a BBQ party with all of the neighbors and family friends on Saturday night.
Tyler was a rock star on the plane! Everyone complimented us on how well behaved he was (and how cute he was too)! Another highlight of the trip was when Tyler pulled himself up to standing for the first time...which I was happily present to see!!!
Thanks to Ben's parents for the hospitality and thank you to all of our friends who came to hang out with us!
