Mommy and Me Weekend - Clear Lake, TX

Mommy and I took our first plane trip alone together this weekend and headed down to Houston to see family and friends. Any concerns she had traveling alone with a toddler were immediately wiped out when I was an absolute angel on the plane. We had an empty seat in our row, so I got a seat all to myself, and Mommy got me yummy chicken nuggets and french fries to eat while we waited for the plane to take off. Once we took off, I spent some time decorating my legs with stickers, then got tired and took a nap the rest of the way. Couldn't have been any smoother!

Big smiles for our Mommy and Me Weekend!

I think I may have missed a spot

Once we got to Houston, Gong-Gong and Po-Po were right there waiting for us when we exited. They were a little disappointed that I was sleeping, but I woke up by the time we got our luggage and got to the car which made Po-Po happy because she could feed me all the way home.

No sooner did we get in the car ...

That Friday afternoon, we played at their house checking out all the cool things they have. On Friday evening, Mommy went out with Auntie Jenny, but I hardly noticed because I was having too much fun eating yummy foods and swimming ... in my clothes ... fully dressed. It's hard to stop me when I'm determined!

Success! I'm in!

Saturday was a busy day all around. In the morning, I woke up bright and (too) early excited to go swimming again. Then all of us went to Chuck E. Cheese -- my first time! -- to meet up with some of Mommy's high school friends Ms. Rachael and Auntie Karen and their little girls. I had so much fun there! My favorite things included riding the rides and putting coins into slots. Afterwards, I was POOPED and fell asleep as Gong-Gong was pulling out of the parking lot.

Kick, kick, kick

Mush, mush!

Vroom, vroom


Quick souvenir

After my long nap, we got ready to visit the Howgates. I was excited to see Charlie, and Mommy was super excited to see Auntie Syndee. We ran around their house, ate snacks, played with Charlie's toys, and then went to dinner where Auntie Debbie came by, too. What a reunion weekend!

I guess I was ready for more fun because I woke up again (too) bright and (too) early. I tried to fit in as much as I possibly could in the few hours I had before Mommy and I headed home again on the airplane. This time, the flight didn't go quite as smooth, but I was still a doll.

Is it time to go already?!

Headed through security

What a wonderful weekend. Another big win this weekend was that I have undoubtedly mastered saying "Po-Po" which Po-Po just loves. I even walked around looking for her the same way I do "Ma-Ma" and "Da-Da". I hope that Mommy and I go visit Clear Lake again soon!
