LA man

We traveled to Los Angeles over the weekend to attend Uncle Charlie Washuk's wedding to Catherine Kucher and to baptize their 3 1/2 month old son Alex. Leading up to the trip Eddie came down with a wicked cold - started with the eye drainage on Father's Day which was diagnosed as official "pink eye" and had to take drops, and then progressed into major congestion, snot and cough. So needless to say, I was a bit worried about our travels. But Eddie did so awesome. It is evident that he is way more adaptable and more go-with-the-flow than his mother. On both flights he slept for an hour and a half, sat well in our laps, reading books and playing with cars, ate snacks, played with the headphone and only once did he request to walk up and down the aisle. We didn't even have to bust out the laptop and the Cars DVD. When we arrived at the hotel room I was immediately uneasy about its lack of a tub (only shower) since our nightly bath routine would have to be modified, and the "crib" I had ordered was really just a pack n' play. I think I said three times, "I should have just brought our own," worried that he would not sleep well in the hard, foreign beddy. But he did fine. I was also stressed about the scheduling of all the activities and how it would coordinate with his sleep schedule. But he proved that he can fall asleep in the car for a nap and still function as a delightful, entertaining little guy. We had a busy, fun-filled weekend of wedding activities, Alex's baptism and BBQ, then a trip to a pool party in the Hills. Eddie was lovin' the LA weather (cool 70's and sun every day) and the laid back lifestyle. Thanks for Katie and Charlie for carting us around all weekend and for all the fun!
