Midland

Santiago and I arrived in Midland yesterday afternoon and have had a great relaxing time so far. He did great on the airplane - he fell asleep right when we were taking off and woke up as we were landing.  We were on a big Southwest Airlines plane but there were only 55 people on board so the plane was very empty so we rode in the back all by ourselves.  We hung out at my parent's house all day and just relaxed.   Allison, Tim and Miss Blake came over for dinner and we played dominos before we went to bed.   Grandma Karen and Pappaw Monty have both gotten Santiago laughing out loud and he has been really happy here. 

Today we went to Alli's house to hang out with her and Blake and to help her get ready for the company that she will be having after Blake's baptism tomorrow.  Blake took an extra long nap while we were there and Santiago played on the playmat and made loud happy screaming noises for us.  Alli thought he was quite funny!  

Santiago is beginning to get a little scared of people he doesn't know.  Last weekend I saw this a little at Shannon's baby shower.  Today my dad's friend Johnny came to over and he wanted to hold Santi so he took him from my dad and when Johnny lifted him up, Santiago immediately started crying.  Then we went to my Grandma Hazel's house this afternoon, he was real happy and smiling at my Grandma when I was holding him so after awhile of letting him get used to her I handed him over and she sat him in her lap.  He was fine until she turned him around so she could see him. When he looked at her, he started crying.  I think he is going to have to warm up a little to people for now on...at for awhile.
