Duncan: 40 Weeks Old

Duncan turned 40 weeks old yesterday and we are still playing catch-up with our posts! But it sure is worth it since we had a really great week of vacation fun. :)

We spent a majority of Duncan's 40th week in Tahoe! It was our first road trip and it was a blast! Duncan was such a good baby during the drive up to Tahoe (although he refused to nurse on the road), the weather was absolutely gorgeous, and the lake was as beautiful as we remembered. :)

Our cabin was roomy and quiet but a tad dark inside. We spent our time in the outdoors as much as possible anyway, so the dark cabin wasn't much of a bother. Duncan slept/napped very well in his own room in the Pack n Play the ENTIRE time. We were so proud of him! There was lots of play time, meals on the deck, walks to the park & lake, and trips to the beach. It was the best time. We are definitely looking forward to next year's trip. Duncan will be walking by then and should provide us with all sorts of new entertainment! :)

Checking out the cabin decor

Breakfast on the deck

First time on a swing

Not sure what all the hype is about...

First time on a slide

That was ok, I guess. :)

Might take some getting used to.

Daddy's pretty fun to hang out with at the park!

... and at the lake!

... and on walks (even tho my face doesn't say so)!

... and in the cabin!

Someone sure loves reading time. :)

Packing up for home

And for those of you not following me on Twitter or Instagram, here are the fun real-time snapshots (minus my commentary) you missed during our trip:

Well, we will miss Tahoe until we can get back up there next year. By then we will have forgotten the horrendously long, hot, stop-and-go drive home. Duncan had a major meltdown in the car but it was only once during our 7-hr trip home. All in all, he was a trooper and we had a fantastic time on vacation!

Since we've been back home, it's been a lot of cleaning, chasing baby, making baby food, doing laundry, and dealing with the sudden onslaught of mega-drool!! I think someone's teething again... :P

Love,
