Our Little Warm Weather Baby!

We took our first family vacation and enjoyed every second of it! We spent six days in Florida - the first two nights in South Beach Miami and then the last three nights in Ft Lauderdale. Trevor is like Randle, he LOVES the warmth. Even though it wasn't too warm (high of 72 degrees) we still were able to put on swimsuits some days and walk around. Love that sun!

However, this is what happens if you don't wear sunscreen! Poor Brian didn't think to put sunscreen on one day because it was cloudy. Ouch!

Our little guy did great on all aspects of the vacation. He was a bit fussy on the plane ride down but that was only because he was fighting sleep. He fell asleep once we pushed away from the gate (thank you hum of the engines) so he didn't eat or suck on his nuk on the way up but his ears didn't seem to bother him. He got up an hour later, ate, and went right back to sleep. We woke him up once we started to descend to eat and he did just fine. Wish we had a pic of him on his first flight!

In South Beach we felt like royalty at the Hilton Bentley. We were on the top floor and had a huge suite complete with a kitchen! It pays to have status with Hilton!! We enjoyed walking on the beach, checking out the restaurants and clubs (note we didn't go to any clubs just looked), laying out, swimming and simply spending time together. Trevor did great sleeping in the Hilton provided crib, although he went through a growth spurt while on vacation so would get up once or twice in the night to eat.

Sleepy baby!

Our little water baby loved the water. He was "splish splashing" just like during bath time. He even reclined like he was in his tub!

On Friday afternoon we drove to our new hotel, the Hilton Ft Lauderdale Beach resort and again felt like we were celebrities. We had another oceanfront suite that had to have been 1,000 sq feet or more and complete with 3 large balconies. At this hotel too we could walk to numerous restaurants and got to eat outside at each one. One day it was a bit cold and rainy so Brian found a tour boat we could go on to check out millionaire's row and other scenes.

We also saw the ship we'd like to enjoy our next vacation on - the Oasis of the Seas - the largest cruise ship and it sure looked huge. Brian took this picture from our balcony as the ship left port.
We saw the most amazing sunsets from our balcony that faced the harbor. The first picture is from our first night there and the other pictures are from our last night.

Our last night there we walked down to an outdoor restaurant and had a wonderful pasta meal. Trevor slept until a fire truck went by and then all he wanted was his hands. What would he do without those things? Did we mention he was teething bad during this trip? So if his fingers weren't in his mouth, Mommy or Daddy had one of their fingers in his mouth to help comfort him.

The little stinker turned three months old while on vacation so we took his 3 month onesie pic. We can't believe he is already three months old - where does the time go? He'll be driving before we know it!
