My trip to Florida

As you can see below, there are a lot of pictures from my first vacation... now I will tell you about it.

I was excited for my first airplane ride. Mommy thought I might sleep on the way there, nope! I was good though. I crawled over Mommy and Daddy the entire time. I kept tapping the guy sitting next to Mommy and tried taking his drink from him. I ripped the cover off of the Sky Mall magazine. It was very eventful! No wonder they guy that sat by us ordered a Jack & Coke. I was good though. We got the rent-a-car and I feel asleep as soon as we left for the condo, and I slept the whole way there. We got there and I was so excited to see everybody!! They were all waiting for us when we got there. Well Auntie, Jackson and Chase weren't there yet, they didn't get there until the next day.

My favorite thing about my vacation was relaxing in the pool in my floatie. The first day I used it, I was in there for over an hour and a half. When I got out my feet were all wrinkly. Mommy has pictures of my feet like this but they must be on Daddy's laptop, she can't find them. I had fun playing in the pool with all of my cousins. I also got to go to the beach, but I wasn't a big fan of the sand. It felt very weird. But by the end of the trip I was able to put my feet in it. At first I also didn't like standing in the ocean, it was a lot colder than my baths are! But that too, by the end of the week, I didn't mind too much.

What else did we do while we were gone?

- Went miniature golfing and I peed through my diaper on Daddy's shirt.
- Peed through another diaper on Emilia (seriously, I have never done this before!)
- Pooped in the bath tub for the first time.
- A a lot of bananas (everybody kept buying them so somebody had to eat them!)
- Played a lot with my cousins.
- Went on walks with Grandma, my aunts, and my cousins.
- Took a 3 hour nap one day. Then didn't nap other times.
- Had my first cheese quesidilla which was yummy.
- Ate an entire lemon and then cried when the outside of it fell on the floor. - Went to Publix for the first time. Mommy kept talking about this place and their sandwiches.
- Saw my first alligator and dolphin (Auntie thought it was a shark... that's a funny story) oh and saw a lot of lizards.
- Saw the beach and ocean for the first time and felt the sand, too.

Then it was time to say good bye, which was sad. Friday night we got all packed up and ready to go, we were on the way to the airport and Mommy was on her phone checking the flight information. It was about 6:20p (flight was to leave around 8:30p) and we had just left the condo. Then Mommy said "Uh, oh... this says we are supposed to leave at 6:59p, not 8:30p" She had the wrong time and we missed our flight. Oops!! I didn't mind though, I got to see Grandma a little longer. We ended up doing a little shopping and ate dinner before we went back to the condo. Auntie the kids didn't know missed our flight and were coming back with them. So we got there and Mommy & Daddy went around back with me, put me on the door step, knocked on the door and then hid around the corner. Jackson and Emilia opened up the door and I was sitting there crying (I had just been woken up) and they were so confused to why I was still there. Emilia was looking for Daddy and Jackson bent down to console me. Then we jumped out and told them why we were still there.

Saturday morning was when we really did leave. I fell asleep on the airplane before we even took off and slept for an hour and a half. The last half hour I spent eating Cheerios, smiling at the old crazy lady next to me that kept calling me a "he" even though I had on pink pants and a shirt with pink in it. And come on, I don't look like a boy. I also played peek-a-boo with the guy and lady behind us.

It was a great trip and I had a lot of fun and a lot of firsts. We got back and I was soooooo excited to see sissy since she couldn't go with us. I kept laughing and smiling at her. Then she had her first soccer game so we went to that. I was so sleepy I feel asleep on Mommy. Vacation really wore me out.
