We are in Maine!

We are finally in Maine. It took us four days to get to Vermont where we stayed for a few days with my Mom and then another three and a half hours of driving to get to Portland Maine. We are so excited to be here. The weather is a lot more humid but it is a lot cooler too. We have learned that if we open our windows and the back sliding door then our apartment stays cool throughout the day. There are no air conditioners here because it is cold most of the year, so it took us a day of experimenting to figure out what works best for staying cool inside. We have also been exploring the downtown area of Portland and it has been great! There are so many different shops and restaurants. But my favorite is all the museums and art supply stores. It makes me feel so at home with all the art around and inspires me to make some of my own. I have most of my art supplies here with me so maybe I can use it in the future.

The drive across the country was long, but Kelton did very well. He mostly slept or stayed awake and cooed. He did have a few cranky times the last two days, but I don't blame him, we all were getting tired of being in the car and the drive. He slept through the night at all three hotels that we stayed, which I am very grateful for. He also stayed on the schedule even with all the time changes. Kelton is just awesome like that!

When we got to Vermont my mom was super excited to meet him. And I was happy that she could finally hold and kiss him. It was sweet to see them together.

Kelton alert: My little baby is three months today! He is so much fun! He is making all sorts of sounds and noises now. Yesterday, Cameron and I were unpacking our things and listening to The Monkees. Cameron grew up listening to them so he knows all of the lyrics. He would sing the songs to Kelton. That quickly became Kelton's favorite activity of the day. My little baby would wiggle his arms and legs in excitement and make sounds of joy. It is always so special to me to see my husband bond with my baby. Kelton has also learned to stick his tong out. And he is so cute when he does it!
These three months have gone by so fast. I can hardly believe that Kelton is already so big. I love him so very much!

We haven't really had time to take any pictures throughout our trip or while in Maine, but here are a couple of my precious baby taking his nap today. He has already gotten used to the new place and has no problems taking his naps. I am a lucky Mama!

I also want to include a picture of Kelton with Grandma and Grandpa McCombs that was taken a few days before we left Utah.
