Peas in a Pod: Beach Babe

Once again, I've found myself behind on my blogging. We went to the beach (our first big family vaca with little britches) 2 weeks ago. It was really nice to get away for a week and "relax" at the beach. I say "relax" because it was a little more stressful than our usual vacations. We'll start from the beginning. Jonah did so good on the ride down to Destin. He ended up playing Baby Einstein for him (the ocean themed one) for a while and he stayed happy most of the way. Our first couple of days went well.

We took him down to the beach the first night to put his toes in the sand and the water. He really liked watching the water come in and out. He would just look at the waves and squeal! Cutie!

The next day we tried taking him out on the beach. He did good for a short time, but then needed a nap (of course) and ended up sleeping in his wagon while mommy laid out at the pool and daddy swam!

By the third day he started to get really fussy and WOULD NOT sleep at night. We put him in the bed with us most nights (which I never do). It was the only way to get him to sleep for a couple of hours at a time. We found ourselves in an Urgent Care walk-in clinc...ear infection! Poor thing started antibiotics, but we only had 2 days left so they didn't really start working in time for him to be a happy boy again. It just made me sad that he was hurting the whole time. All stress aside, it was still very nice to all get together have a good time at the beach. We love the condo we stayed in. It's actually the same one from last year. I made the comment that Jonah B had been there before, in Mommy's belly! We ate some yummy food and had some beautiful weather all but one day. We were actually under a tornado warning for a short time. Me and mom were out shopping and Derek called and said the weather was getting nasty. We headed back in torential rainfall. Other than that one day, it was sunny and perfect temps!
