Well, another week is almost gone. Brent is a full 8 1/2 months old now. We'll see what the weekend holds for us, I suppose. I'm going to try to visit my Dad on Sunday. It's a two hour trip (one-way) and I'm not sure how it's going to go. He refuses to take an even-slightly-lukewarm bottle. Room-temperature doesn't cut it - even in the 90 degree weather, I've found. So I picked up one of these bottle warmers that work off of your cigarette lighter in your car. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it works, and works well. The good thing is that we'll be going in the truck, so I can be right beside him and feed him as we drive if he needs to eat. I don't think I'll attempt jar food on this trip. I can't imagine Andy will like cleaning sweet potatoes from the windshield, back of the seat, back window, etc.
So hopefully it will work out! I want to see how it goes, in case we have an opportunity to visit Andy's parents soon. If I can work out the bugs on a 2 hour trip, it will help to see what I will need for a 7+ hour trip. So I'm excited! It will be a challenge...but I think he'll do fine.
Other than that, should be a slow weekend. Maybe I'll get him in the pool for a little swim. I'd like to have him outside more, but right now the horseflies and other little biting flies (mayflies?) are swarming. It's impossible to be outside and not fighting their relentless pursuit of blood. Andy and I have been cussing them all week as we've worked on the deck. But maybe by the fall we can find a way to screen in the front porch, and then I can rest a little easier taking Brent outside.
