Of course, Southwest would lose the car seat. We waited and waited and waited for it to come out and it never did. Almost a perfect trip. Joe went to sort things out at the baggage office, apparently it never made if off our plane we traveled on to Chicago. We had a pretty tight connection there. They told us they would Fed Ex it to us and it would be there by Tuesday, and last night Southwest called and said they found it and gave us a tracking number. Ok, so not a huge deal, till I saw the "rental" car seat they gave us. Car seats expire every 7 years I think. I think this one was past due for about 14 years.
Luke's head almost went over the top, and I didn't feel comfortable driving 3 hours with him in it. So I knew where a Babies R Us was, about 15 miles from the airport, and told Joe we were going to get a convertible car seat (since he is going to outgrow his "baby" car seat soon). So we found one we liked and got it. In the parking lot we bust open the box and are installing this car seat (we got some REAL weird looks). So we put Luke in it and get on our merry little way. Luke did so good for his second round of flying and for 12 plus hours of traveling until we got about 20 minutes from home. He had an EPIC meltdown. It got so bad I crawled in the backseat while Gracie crawled in the front seat and got him out of his car seat to hold him and calm him down. That even took a while. Poor guy was tired of being in his car seat and I couldn't say that I blamed him. We went and picked Oreo up (who was insanely excited to see us) and went home. He slept until 5, ate, and slept until 8:30. He was a tired boy, as were mama and daddy. I thought my cold was trying to come back, but I think I was just exhausted because I feel better today.

We didn't do a whole lot today. Watched the Colts and Steelers get beat....bad. But I will point out the Steelers got beat worse! Luke and daddy were all decked out in there Steelers apparel and mommy was a bum in her sweats. Joe went to pick up the big dogs from the kennel and they were excited to see him to say the least. They even got free baths because they were there so long. They said they didn't even have to muzzle Jazmine up. Are you sure you gave us the right dog? I think she just must be very protective of her territory. Oh well, that's good I guess. Keeps me from being scared in the house.
Daddy put together Luke's 4-wheeler just like Logan's that he had so much fun on, but I wouldn't let him play in it because it was time for bed.....such a mean mommy LOL

Tomorrow Luke goes to the doctor to get his 4 month shots :-( I hate when they give shots! I'm excited to see what the doctor is going to say about him this time. And we get to start solid foods! Joe is scared because of what Brenda said happened to their daughter when she started solids. She went from sleeping all night to waking up every hour. I'm still excited to be feeding him something other than formula. He still wants to eat every 3 hours and usually takes down 6-8 oz, so I'm hoping feeding him food will keep his belly full longer. It is past my bedtime, yes its only 9:52, but that's late for me. I think tomorrow if I get time I am just going to do a picture blog of some of the pictures we took on our trip and then I will post a link to my snapfish if you want to see the rest! Night!
