10 weeks & a mini vacation

D was 10 weeks old on the 15th, so here he is posing for the camera again.

We also took him on a semi-vacation. Chris had a training class in Dallas and D and I came with. It was a really long drive on Sunday as we had volleyball games to go to Friday and Saturday, so we couldn't spread out the trip as much as we would have liked. We made a 10 hour drive on Sunday in 13 hours. D did really well, with the exception of the last few hours, but who can blame him -- who wants to ride in a car that long?!




Wormy - sing to me again!
We also visited the Dallas Cowboys' new stadium on Monday and took a few pictures. Chris and I had visited the old stadium years ago, and it was neat to see the new stadium and amazing all of the money that they spent on different things!

Chris had to be in class Tuesday through Thursday 8-5, so D and I were on our own for the morning and afternoon. We made sure to have lunch with Chris before we headed 'out on the town.' We shopped at a few stores that we don't have back home (BuyBuyBaby and the Container Store), and the Galleria Mall.

I'd never been to a Container Store before, and it was a good thing that we didn't need anything at home for storage. I made it out of there with only buying two things for D's room! That is definitely a store I'd go back to - they had an amazing variety of stuff in there! We had fun and spent a little too much money on our shopping trip. ;) We were back to eat supper with Chris each night.

One funny thing, D had about had it with travel when we were coming back home on Friday night (we were about 30 minutes away from home), and as he still won't take a pacifier, but wanted to suck on something, I stuck my finger in his mouth to see if that would calm him down. Well, it did and he vigorously sucked on my finger and promptly fell asleep. Not something I really wanted to continue, so we've been on the quest for a pacifier he'll use. He is now tolerating the MAM pacifiers and will suck a little bit on the taggies blankets we received at the baby shower. So, we're working on him taking the MAM pacifier, which seems to help... I think it's our 4th or 5th pacifier to try?!
