Our weekend...

This past weekend we had our first day trip with Lexi. We headed to San Jose - which is about an hour and half drive from where we live - to see the Body Worlds II exhibit at The Tech Museum. We heard about Body Worlds a couple years ago. They have 3 different travelling exhibits and we were waiting for it to be somewhere close enough to go see it. You can find out more about it at the website:

Photographs aren't allowed so we don't have any from the trip, but Lexi did pretty well. She did decide she was VERY hungry in the middle of the display so I got to feed her in the small bathroom off the exhibit hall, sitting on a dirty chair in front of the door so that everyone walking into the bathroom got to say hello to me - I was like a greeter. Then no diaper changing facilities so we made due on the counter between two sinks. I'm just thinking of all the places that have gross bathrooms and wondering where I'm going to change a diaper in a gross bathroom. Ugh! Guess we will figure it out. Anyway, then Lexi was happy and cooing and smiling at me. I walked out into the exhibition hall again and she started crying. The security guard walked up and said she might be cold. David and I looked at eachother - we felt like such dopes! It was really cold in there! Why didn't we think of that? It had been cold the whole time and she was fine earlier, but she was the in Baby Bjorn with David's body heat. We put a sweet pink stocking cap on her and wrapped her in the blanket. She went through the rest of the exhibit facing outward and taking it all in. She even cooed at a display or two. And of course she got a lot of admiring looks from fellow attenders. She was such a trooper. We definitely enjoyed the display, but learned we will have to adjust to what it's like to go through an exhibit not being able to look at everything and read everything quite the way we did before. We saw enough - it was definitely worth it.

A couple random photos:

Sporting daddy's new work hat. See the album for what she REALLY thought of it!



Cooing and smiling at mommy.
