Vacation!! Lobo Landing, Heber Springs Arkansas.

Well today we left for a long drive to Arkansas to meet my great grandparents.  All I know is that it was a LONG ride in the boring car. Mommy and daddy say it is a good thing thing that I am a good traveler and don't fuss much.  Even when the air stopped working in the truck. Daddy rolled all the windows down and I had air blowing in my face.  I know I was super excited to get out of the car when we got there! Grandma got us two cabins close to a river at a resort called Lobo Landing.  It was awesome! Lots of open space for me, and room in mommy and daddy's room so that I could sleep in my playpen in there with them. Uncle Matt was there a couple of days and Grandma, Grandpa and Brennan (He's 4 years old, and is their foster son, so he's my Uncle, but sissy doesn't like calling him that, and he calls Matt "Uncle Matt, so it's a little confusing.) The cabin was really clean and had cool furnishings.  Mommy took lots of pictures. It was really hot there, up to 107 a couple of days, so we stayed inside a lot since I don't tolerate heat very well.  The pool had trees around it though, so it was shaded in the morning and late afternoon- so Mommy took me there a couple of times.  Daddy is a fly fisherman, so he went out fishing a lot.  Grandpa, Sissy and Brennan went out one day too. I"ll get to go soon.

These are pictures of where we stayed.

Peppermint the Traveling Bear-

Mommy is in a Facebook Group with other women who had babies the same age as me.  They decided to get a bear, name him Peppermint and send him to visit all of us babies. He started off with some friends in Australia, then came to me for our trip to Arkansas. Then we sent him off to Maryland for his new adventure!

Plum Organics - peach, apricot and banana

Plum is my favorite brand of baby food.  I don't think we have found one that I don't like.  This one was nice and sweet and for a change of pace mommy put some barley in it instead of the usual oatmeal.  Barley is goooood.   When it was gone, mommy gave me some puffs to eat while she washed dishes. The start to a good day!

Plum Tots- banana mish mash

Mmmmm....mmmm....  I got to eat this right from the pouch!  I've never got to do that before.  It took me a bit to get the hang of it, and mommy had to help me, but I loved it and ate it all gone.  It has apples, bananas, pears and something called acerola fruit in it, but I only know it is gooood.

Buddy Fruits-Apple 7 Strawberry

My grandma found this brand somewhere and knew I'd like to try it, since I always like to try new foods.  The ingredients are apple, strawberry, black currant juice and apple juice and that's it. Mommy thinks it may be marketed more for a snack than for baby food though, because there are no ages etc. on the packet.  She gave it to me anyway with some oatmeal mixed in.  And I really liked it! No surprise there!

Gerber Nature Selects- Banana's, Apples and Pears

Blech. I ate it. I wasn't happy, but I ate it.  Whatever sick is, it just better stop. I want something tastier and mommy won't let me have anything better until I seem to feel better. I guess this one was kind of boring because I just wasn't into it much.

Earths Best- Pumpkin, Cranberry and Apple

Have I mentioned- I love food.  Mommy got me this and even though it is a stage three- she let me eat it with some organic free range chicken she had cooked and pureed just for me. She put in 2 tbsp of chicken with 1 tbsp of brown rice and let me eat this for dinner!! She said it kind of tasted like Thanksgiving.  If this is what Thanksgiving tastes like I cannot wait!!! 

It was sweet with a tad bit of a sharp aftertaste.  I loved it!!!!!!!!!!!
