guenther journey: Oktoberfest in Sidney

This weekend we went to Sidney to visit Ashley and to attend the Oktoberfest celebration they had. It was a lot of fun! We went out to eat, drove around town, visited Ashley's friend who just had a baby, helped her dogsit for a funny dog, went to a parade, and went to the "tent" for the rest of the Oktoberfest festivities, which was mostly food and beer.

Gradyn seemed to love it all! He is the type of baby who loves to be out and about and can just sit and look around and watch everything for a long time. He loved the parade, especially the bands that marched in it. He also loved being out at the tent and seeing all the people. Lots of people stopped by to talk to him!

We are very lucky that he is a good sleeper wherever we go. He fell asleep and took a nap during the parade (even with all the noise) and again at the tent with all of the people around. We pretty much just have to lay him down in his stroller with his blanket and pacifier and he will sleep if he is tired. The only problems we have are that it is hard for him to eat in new places because he can't pay attention to his food because he is too busy looking around and checking everything out!

He is still NOT crawling yet, for those of you who were wondering. He is getting pretty close to scooting around though. He can scoot backwards really well, and he will get up on all 4's and rock back and forth, but still no movement! Which, I am actually fine with because I can't imagine how crazy active he is going to be when he can crawl! He is already moving constantly!

Here are some pictures from our weekend in Sidney:
