Just keep moving and Old Bar

Daniel just loves trying to move, until he gets very frustrated at knowing what he wants to do, but not being able to do it. Earlier in the week we were hanging out in the back room and Daniel decided to try and make a break for it.
 Daniel started next to where I am sitting and managed to roll, crawl, pull himself to where he is in the photo. Here is some of how he did it.

On Thursday Daniel and I went to pick up Nana and went for a drive up to Old Bar to see Grandma G and see if there were things we wanted from her apartment. Daniel did quite well with the drive. With about 20mins to go he started to crack it. We stopped to feed him and found that instead he had done a poo-explosion - no wonder why he was so upset. That would have been very uncomfortable! After a change he was much happier and was fine to finish the drive to the apartment we were staying in.

After a feed and hanging out with everyone Daniel went to bed and so did Oscar. We left Howie to look after the kids (who we planned to have sleep) and headed around to Grandma's place to see lots of packing happening. Jenny and I took it upon ourselves to look through the photo albums, categorizing them and choosing ones which we wanted to take. After a few hours we headed back to the apartment. Howie said that Daniel had slept through which was great to hear. Just before I went to bed I gave Daniel a feed and then he went back to sleep. He slept pretty well which was good (until 5am and then after another feed slept until 7am). 

On Friday we headed to see Great Grandma, Daniel's first visit with her. She was quite good which was great to see and Daniel was quite happy (even though he was tired). Grandma had some lovely cuddles with Daniel.
Grandma is very proud of her great-grandsons!
And the same as with Grayma and Granny we needed to have the obligatory photo of the 4 generations of Gower line.
We then had a tour of Grandma's place. It looks like a lovely place and that they look after her well which is good. Grandma was very proud to tell everyone that she was here with her great-grandsons, grand-daughters and grandson-in-law, son and daughter-in-law. 
After the tour we said goodbye to Grandma (and Daniel gave her a couple more smiles) 
and headed back up to her apartment for some food and then we hopped in the car and headed back home. Daniel again travelled well (this time sleeping for 2 hours) and only cracked it 30mins out from home. He quickly settled when back at home in a new nappy and with a big drink of milk. 
It was lovely to see Grandma G and to have Daniel meet her. I'm glad she was so excited to meet him and that he was so good with her.
