Beach Bebe

A few weeks ago Paige and I flew solo (gulp) down to Destin, Florida for our annual family vacay. Kel didn't have the PTO from work, so it was just a girls trip. I will admit it wasn't the most relaxing beach vacation I have ever had, but it was still nice to get away and sit on the beach.

 

 This was how she was all through the airport...she thought it was no.big.deal.

Flying solo with an infant was work, but doable. I was as prepared as I could be, even with some sweet-ease from work in my pocket ready to unload and disposable chucks for the changing tables. I even doubled up a size 2 and size 3 diaper in case of a blowout...haha! I am still proud of myself- I discretely nursed her every flight and we both did well. Window seats are the way to go, no questions asked.

 WE made it!

Traveling to the beach sure took some effort! We had quite the set up.

 

 This was how it was all week. My parents surrounding Paige...I could have not showered or eaten all week and they wouldn't have noticed. But I know they loved being with her 24/7 and I enjoyed watching their joy.

 Paige was a little fish, she loved the water. I think she thought it was one giant bath tub

 I think it was the combination of sunshine, sea salt, and my parents' kisses on her head...Paigey's hair finally sprouted! She even woke up one morning with bedhead!

{ps- who would have guessed I would have a blonde baby?}

We had a nice time, but it was so nice to be back home and get back to our routine.

 

 Mommy and baby were both elated to be back home with daddy-man!
