August over already?



I can't believe August is already over! Where has the time gone? My little man is almost 10 months old? What? I can't believe it! Well, since the last post, we really have not done too much. Michael and I started back to school. Michael loves seeing his friends everyday, especially his Lindsey! I can't believe they are only 2 weeks apart!
They love each other very much:)
Geoff and I went to see the Red Sox vs Rangers, unfortunately they lost:( It was fun to go though! Michael did not join us for this game, maybe next year or the year after:)

Other than that, things have been pretty quiet around the Hatch Household. I left this past Friday to attend our nephews Baptism in Mobile, Alabama with my sister. This was the first time I left Michael for more than 24 hours with Geoff- Geoff did fabulous! Poor thing ended up with a sick Michael, which means no fun! He did great though and they both survived:) I had a great time with my family in Mobile and got to play with Thomas- he is getting so big and is such a happy baby!

Trip to Boston

Michael and I went to Boston this past Friday to visit Nana and Pops before our Summer Vacation was over. I was so excited to go! I love Boston and the weather was suppose to be nice and cool, a bit humid, but nothing compared to the Texas heat! Unfortunately, Michael picked up a stomach bug the Monday before our trip. I thought it would be fine by Friday, but it wasn't. He was definitely better, but not my normal happy baby boy! I heard from so many people to give him Benedryl on the flight, so easy and he would knock right out. Oh no sir! Michael had other plans! He fought his sleepiness and ended up screaming the entire flight, only to finally knock out for the last 30 minutes, 3 hours later- To top it off, he was up the entire night crying every hour to hour and a half. I called poor Geoff crying that I did not know what to do and maybe we should just come home. Fortunately, Michael turned into his old self by the next day and we ended up having a FABULOUS time! We went on walks, the weather was in the upper 70's in the morning, Michael played in the baby pool (which wore him out!), and we went shopping- to sum it up, it turned out to be a fun and relaxing weekend!
Nana had everything we needed to keep Michael entertained! She found a jeep exersaucer that he loved and she still had the highchair she used when Geoff was a baby- I had to take a picture of Michael in it (he is such a ham, he now smiles for the camera:).
On our shopping trip in downtown Wellseley, we came across the same kind of lovies that Michael sleeps with, however, they were the blanket size lovies! I showed it to Michael and he got so excited, he had his arms outstretched grabbing for the blanket, I gave it to him and he immediately snuggled up with it and would not let it go. Needless to say, we now own it, along with a couple new back-ups for the future:)

We said our goodbyes on Tuesday and flew home, Michael was perfect on the plane ride home and Geoff was so excited to see his lil' man when we arrived. It took Michael a little bit to get excited to see him too, he was a little out of it when we got off the plane:) We had a great trip and can't wait for our next adventure! However, next time, Geoff will be traveling with us! Traveling with a baby is no easy task!
