Pomerleau Family Blog: Fun activites in September!

In September we enjoyed good weather for most of the first half of the month. I made a brave outing on my own and took Brandon and Olivia to the Children's Museum by myself one Tuesday in early September. Brandon did great and listened to me and the trip went well except Olivia got cranky because she was tired and was having a problem napping. I just put her in my Ergo carrier and eventually got her to go to sleep (she almost always falls asleep in it with no issues).

We also frequented Costco (one of Brandon's favorite places) a few times. Brandon loves getting smoothies there and I love the fact that I can have Olivia's car seat and Brandon in Costco's huge double seater cart.

We made the long track to Seattle to watch Sean's sister Dawn get married. I was so nervous for the car ride because Olivia really usually does not do well in the car and it was a 3 1/2 hour drive but she did really well. She only had one major melt down and it was luckily right when we were close to getting home. She napped well in her cars seat for once. Dawn and Jose got married at the Court House in Bellevue and then we went back to their place for some yummy food and drinks. Brandon had a lot of fun at the party despite Kevin (Jose's son) not being there and Olivia was held almost the entire time by Jose's mother who loved her. I topped the trip off by visiting my grandpa (Olivia and Brandon's great grandpa) Baba and my Uncle Carl and Uncle Bill. The kids survived staying in a hotel room together and I was happy to get home.

Such a cutie

I am going to end this blog post with some pictures of Brandon and Olivia. Brandon has been holding Olivia more now that she can sit up supported and is bigger. She still looks at him and smiles a ton. She loves watching what he is doing and coos at him. He still comes and looks for her every morning and asks for "baby sister." It is so cute watching the bond that is continuing to grow between them.
