Life, Randomness, and What Have You

Now that were back home and in our element, I guess there's no better time than now to reflect on our trip. First of all, it was great to see everyone and I'm glad that luvbug was on his best behavior. The California weather was unbelievable -- you know, sunny, warm, no clouds in the sky (duh!) While our time was filled with much needed family time, we did notice a few things about our son that were interesting and sad all at the same time. The upsetting thing that we first noticed was when we went on a five minute walk in the sun without any protective covering on the little guy. Upon returning, we found out that he broke out in red splotches all over his head. Turns out that the little duder can't take too much of the sun and gets heat rash, just like his mommy. I do know that most babies have sensitive skin, so this could be chalked up to that, but only time will tell. Another interesting tidbit, and not that all surprising, is that luvbug's digestive timing was thrown all out of whack. Let me be a little more specific, the dude was not pooping at all. Honestly, he was only letting loose one time a day. We were not sure what was going on until we got home. Save one second when we stepped in the door and he let it rip. Yup, home is where you hang your hat! Now that we are back home, he is back on his regular (pooping) schedule and is back to better -- Yay!!! I guess the little guy was either stressed, anxious, scared, or all of the above. The weird thing is that he didn't really communicate that anything was awry the whole time as he appeared to be his normal self. It was a great trip, but there's no place like home.
