Indiana

We went to Indiana for Memorial Day weekend. It was fun but we're not doing it again. Well, we'll go to Indiana but we won't drive it all in one day. And since that means adding the expense of a hotel we may even fly.

She wasn't awful it just takes so much longer. She needs to be fed frequently and can't say "Oh, I'm not hungry yet we can drive for another hour" And every time we stop we change her diaper. And we'll stop to eat lunch and get gas and then get back on the road and remember that she needs to nurse too.

And at the end of the trip she's had enough and isn't going to sleep anymore so she just screams. Even if someone is back there with her.

It's for sanity and comfort.

Anyhow
Saturday we just chilled around the house. We made Birthday wreaths, they're very cute.

Sunday we went to Holiday world in Santa Claus. We spent all day in the waterpark. Kaida really seemed to like it. She wasn't a fan of being splashed but she did like the water. She got to wear her bathing suit for the first time. It's adorable. I'll have to see about getting some pictures. She didn't like the hats we made her wear but I think they did their jobs in keeping the sun off her face. We reapplied her sunblock a couple times but we probably should have done it once more. her bathing suit is a UPF 50 short sleeve top so, luckily, only her forearms got pink.

We found some chairs under an awning so that helped a lot and grandmom taught her to drink from a straw so she had water throughout the day. It was 93 degrees out.

JR and I took her to the kiddie area that had slides. She went down some slides with JR a couple times and then I took her on one. Unfortunately my naked legs seem to slide a lot faster than JR's trunks so we took a tumble at the bottom. She got splashed which made her scream and I skinned my knees but I didn't scream.

In other news:
She's been saying "Hi!" for a long time. It almost comes out sounding like a sigh. It has all the inflection and sound of Hi she just doesn't do the work to make it a word.
She started babbling a lot more this week and she said Dada. Now she says dadada all the time. She sounds like a VW commercial. She also immitates us a lot more. I swear I heard Kitty, mom, and Kaida. And tonight while JR was putting her to bed she said Hi Dada.
