Illinos-- Spending Time With Grandma and Grandpa

My favorite part of our entire trip, was being able to see Emma bond with her Gammy and Gampa. It was so special to me to see her warm up to them, because they mean so much to us, and we want her to love them like we do. She warmed up fast to Matt's Mom, and they were buddies for the rest of the trip. She was even so comfortable with Grandma Entwistle, that during bath time she pooped in the tub just for her! Now that is love. :) Here are the many pictures of Emma and her new friends:

Matt thought this was a good idea... see the video below!

Emma loves her Daddy

We weren't sure what she was doing, but it was so cute! She kept putting her face down like this, maybe she was listening for something?

Illinois-- Plane Ride and Wrigley Field

Yep, just now getting the motivation to blog about our trip to Chicago. Don't judge, at least I'm getting it done before August is over....

We had a great time, and Emma loved spending time with Grandma and Grandpa Entwistle. 

Emma did so great on the plane! She said 'hi' to everyone she saw, and laughed when people would say 'hi' back. We packed little "presents" that she could open and have new toys to play with. Our saving grace? Playdough.

 Yep, Playdough was what Emma played with for the majority of the flight. She loved it! I will definitely use this again for our next flight, it was a lifesaver!

We got into Illinois late Thursday night, and took it easy that weekend. Tuesday, Matt's Mom had a "Grandma and Emma" night so that Matt, his Dad, Jakobi, and I could hit Chi-town for a Cub's game. My first one! It was so much fun, and such a great looking field! Matt was in heaven, and could have stayed there forever. Oh, and he caught an official MLB ball! One of the players threw it into the crowd after warm up, and I saw it flying in our direction and nudged Matty (who had his head down reading), and he instinctively put his arm out and caught the ball as if it was nothing. It was so cool!

Welcome to Wrigley!

They still have an old fashioned score board, where actual people sit inside and update the score. I bet it's so hot in there!

Wrigley field seats on top of buildings, so cool!

 Yes, they lost... but it was such a fun experience and I loved sharing it with Matt. I love him so much! Stay tuned for more Illinois Updates!
