Lyla Says: San Antonio Edition

Hi, guys. It's Lyla.

Let me tell you something about being a baby. When you get in your car seat, you don't have any idea what you're in for. You might be in there for five minutes, and you might be in there for hours on end. It's anyone's guess, so I've learned it's best to not even try to guess how long it will be and instead just kick back and enjoy the ride.

That's what I did a couple weeks ago. Mom and Dad put me in the car seat, and it turned out to be one of those "hours on end" rides. I sat next to my friends Jarom and Amy. I didn't see Mom and Dad, but I heard their voices, so they must have been close by. When I finally DID get out of the car seat, I found myself in a hotter, more humid place than we left. There was loud music and Mom and Dad started eating like crazy.

I wish I had teeth.

I made a few new friends. I love people who hold me and let me chew on things, and all of my new friends did that. So they're okay in my book.

If I had reached a little further, I totally could have gotten some of that in my mouth.

The next few days were so much fun! I got to ride in my stroller in pretty places with music and air conditioning. Mom kept rubbing my skin with sunscreen and Mom and Dad kept eating more and more food. Mom didn't cook one thing the whole weekend, which I thought was strange.

Those are my friends Jarom, Amy and Clint. Jarom and Amy gave me bottles in the car, and all three of them played with me a lot. I think they are great. 

Daddy carries me around like a princess. I think my dad is the best.

I guess Mom and Dad must have been having a lot of fun, because they didn't even stop when it was my nap time. I didn't mind, though. I have the best daddy in the whole world and he carried me around while I slept. As long as I have my car seat and it's not too noisy, I sleep like a baby. Literally.

They tell me we went to the Alamo. For some reason, I don't remember much of it. 

They also say we went to some Spanish missions. That part I remember. I remember looking at all the old buildings, playing with Mom's face, and laughing when Jarom made faces at me while Mom took pictures.

Even though I had to sit still for a really really REALLY long time in my car seat, I love going on trips like this with Mom and Dad. We also went swimming, ate at some more cool places (no surprise there) and took a fun walk along a beautiful river. I loved all the sights and sounds but got so tired I fell asleep sitting up in my stroller. And any time you're having so much fun you fall asleep sitting up in your stroller, you know you're on a pretty good trip.
