Spring Break!

Last week was spring break for my big brother and my mommy started getting worried about the idea of being trapped at home due to cold dreary weather with a hyper redhead and sweet little me for a whole week. When she found out that Daddy's Aunt's condo was available, she jumped at it and we went down the following day! Aunt Lisa and Lila came with us and we had a fantastic time! The change of scenery is just what we all needed. The weather was chilly, rainy, and windy at times, but the indoor pool and hot tub gave us something to do (to wear my brother out). We ate at the Original Oyster House and at Cobalt, went to Souvenir City, and had breakfast from Cafe Beignet, and watched the movie Frozen. I was perfect the whole trip, during the car rides and during dinners out...Mom is brainstorming what other fun trips we can take because I was so good!

My first beach experience:

This is me chilling poolside in the shade:

I hung out at the indoor pool in my bouncy seat, giving my family an hour plus to swim each time. The warmth, noise, and activity made the perfect place for me to watch the fun and nap (I sleep better in noisy places!).

Souviner City!

 

 All in all, a very fun first spring break for me! We were sad my daddy couldn't join us, but he had fun catching up on sleep and getting tons of errands done while we were gone... :)

Moby Wrap

Well it's not Rocket Science, but you would think that it was based on how long it took my Mom to figure it out (without any instructions)...but she finally got this darn Moby thing to work. After several failed attempts over the course of a month, she finally packed it up (with exclamations of "Oh screw it!"). But we went to the zoo yesterday and saw several ladies blissfully wearing them with their babies snuggled close and she decided to try it one more time. She did it! And I loved it! Yay Mom!

Gift to Mom

I gave my mom a big old smile this morning after she changed my diaper. She was thrilled!! Who knew a smile could cause so much joy?

Smiles!

I smiled for Oma this weekend and it was my first deliberate smile! Then I did it again for Oma a few hours later. Mom was so excited to witness it, but wonders why the heck she's tried so hard for smiles but I hold out and give them to others. She noticed I've been on the verge for days. Yesterday, my Dad and Brother got a smile and today I finally smiled a little for my mom (but I wasn't looking at her!) Oma was pretty excited she got the first one...grandma's have a special bond with their grandchildren!
