Florida and 1 month old

First off I can't believe Kade is a month old. Not sure where the time went but he is already 1 month. Lets see he is starting to smile back at us now which is fun, and sometimes we think he laughs but who knows it is probably just gas. He really knows how to mess his pants, he goes through so many diapers its insane and on our trip I had to change his outfit at least twice a day. Oh and he definitely takes after grandpa hank because he can pass gas like crazy. He is sleeping great during the night and only wakes up once. And he LOVES the car and his bob stroller. Most the time Kade is a pretty happy kid and we love having him in our family. He is just so cute
We took a 6 day trip down south and after getting home Monday after driving from the bottom of South Carolina this is how my boys spent their afternoon. Oh and I think it funny how they are matching and no mom I was not wearing navy blue.
So to start off our trip we left last Wednesday and drove a little over half way and stayed in Brunswick, Georgia which is almost on the Florida border. We checked into our hotel and then decided to drive to Jaykell Island. We had dinner on the island and then walked down to the beach. It was super windy so we couldn't stay too long. Kade's 2nd time at the beach.
He actually kind of woke up for this beach excursion but it was so windy I had to keep him bundled up.
We arrived in Florida on Thursday afternoon and hung out with our friends the Lahr's. Ben is Jesse's childhood friend who now lives in Florida. I somehow did not get a picture of all of us, oops. Friday we went to Sea World. We decided Sea World would be easier than Disney World with Kade. We went to see Shamu and Kade slept through the whole thing.


Here is a picture with the dolphins it was their feeding time so they were super active. Here is Kade kind of awake. He spent the majority of the day asleep which was nice for us.
Saturday we went to Holmes Beach just south of Tampa. The water was so clear and warm the only downside to the gulf is there are no waves so I think it makes the beach a little boring unless you want to lay out the whole time. Here is how Kade spent his time at the beach. Good thing he likes his bob so much. (Mom do you see how well protected he is from the sun?)

Sunday we started our drive home and we took a little detour to check out another beach in Georgia this time outside of Savannah. It was pretty crowded at the beach so we walked for a little bit oh and then Kade decided to get hungry so here is how I spent my time at the beach while Jesse tried to find a crab he had seen and then he looked for shells, that doesn't ever happen but it was Sunday and he didn't have his kayak. Oh yeah its not so easy trying to feed Kade on the beach or change his diaper he got a little sandy =)
For some reason I love this picture of Jesse and Kade
Oh and there was this cute light house as well.
We made it back safe and sound and now getting ready for Grandma Erm and Erin to come so we can go on more adventures. Kade did wonderful on the trip can't wait for more adventures. Oh and I think its funny that Kade has been to 4 different state and has been to 4 different beaches and he is just a month old. Too bad he wont remember this.

I love the picture of Jesse and Kade on the couch, sounds like you had a fun trip. Did Jesse catch any alligators?

Jamie Pearson said...

No alligators. Ben has a pond with Alligators in it but they never came out. Maybe next time we go down.

Man.. that looks like so much fun. I am amazed at how much you are able to just get out and go! And that is one cute baby.

He's quite the little traveler and getting even cuter, if that's possible. I am glad you are having so much fun as a new mom. Isn't life great as a mom?????

GREAT pictures! Looks like a fun trip! Good job for taking a 1 month old out and being so adventurous!! I would not have been able to do that with my first child...I was too nervous.

Kade couldn't possible be any cuter! His hair is curly isn't it. The trip looks so fun - the only thing missing was some other chubbs! It was great to talk to you Thurs. Miss you!
