Our Family Florida Trip

Florida was a great time! Except for one night, the weather was very pretty and hot. Kevin's family (I learned this trip) has been going to Florida every year with another family for over 30 years now. The kids of these two familes grew up together and now have kids of their own. Peyton and little Woodes (15 months) is the youngest of the next generation to experience this tradition. I am so happy to be apart of it.I swear that Peyton grew so much in just this one week. Everything was a new thing to explore in Florida. He loved the water and sand. He watched his little Florida buddy, Woodes so intently with everything he did, the next thing we knew lying down was no longer an option. He wanted to stand up or sit up all the time. He wanted to do everything that little Woodes was doing, but I think his age of just 5 1/2 months got the best of the situation. Next year it will be different for my little honey! But he loved watching his little friend (and future boardwalk buddy on Friday nights 17 years from now). :) His coordination with grabbing toys or whatever pleases him with both hands is perfect. He was around so many people it seems like all he did was smile, laugh and squeal. He sure is a happy, happy baby. And we found out that he loves Yoohoo. After watching daddy drink Yoohoo, he started grabbing at daddy's drink. We gave him a taste and he loved it. But he was only allowed a taste once in a while. The only thing that was not so good with this trip is that he is out of his good sleeping habits. Every night he fell asleep by 7:00 p.m. and was up at midnight, 3:00 a.m. and then again at 6:00 a.m. wanting a bottle. It was like having a newborn again! Maybe the swimming and fun in the sun made him hungry all the time. So now that we are home, I will have to work with him on his sleeping schedule again. Hoorah for me!Overall this trip was a great experience for Peyton and our family and friends loved having the babies around. The days were filled with too much great food, sun, water and sometimes alcohol. :) Daddy and I even had a little excape to the boardwalk on Friday night while Grammy watched the little one so that we can have some alone time!
