Road trip!

Colby had his first big road trip last weekend (February 22-24)! We went up to Grande Prairie to visit Gerry's family up there. We stayed at Grandma Bev's house and had a great time visiting with her. We also saw Auntie Carmen, Uncle Darren, Kourtney, Dylan, Kerri, and Kailey. Thanks for a great dinner Friday night! Saturday night, Colby got to meet his Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Alstad and several other aunts, uncles, and cousins! It was so great to see everyone again and I'm glad they got to meet the newest addition to the Alstad family. While we were at Grandma and Grandpa Alstad's house, I took several pictures (surprise, surprise!) of family with Colby. I also got my first photo with a true smile on Colby's face!! I was so excited, as he usually doesn't smile when the camera is out!! He travelled quite well and slept for the majority of the trip, but the last 1 1/2 hours each way was pretty tough on him. He didn't want to be in his car seat anymore, so he was a bit fussy. He was pretty happy to be home, I think.

We had a relatively quiet week this week, which has been nice. On Wednesday, Colby got to play with Auntie Tracy and Blake for a while, as they came to visit! It's always great to see the "Edmonton Edition Cameron's"! While it's not as often as I'd like, hopefully we'll see each other again soon before Tracy heads back to work in a couple of months. Since Colby is able to hold his head up really well now, he went in his Exersaucer for the first time last night!! He was pretty unsure about all of the new toys all around, but was interested in a few of them! He is able to touch the bottom, so that's a good start to being able to move in there! Tomorrow (Sat., March 1st), Colby and I are going to a baby shower for my friend, Irene, who had a beautiful baby girl, Evangeline, four weeks ago. We're very excited to meet Evangeline and plan some Mommy and Baby dates with Irene!!

Have a great weekend everyone!
