Throwback! Our first Family Vacation....in April

Okay, so let's just say I was on summer hiatus from updating our family blog.  Really I have been holding out for a new computer that runs just a tad faster....buuuut, since big Dan is not budging on this, I have carved out a few hours to FINALLY update with pictures of our first vacation as a family.  We went down to Ft. Myers, Florida to visit Gramma and Pappa and had a great time!  Daniel was a champ on the airplane, a little napping, a little bottle and well timed toys/ books from Momma made the 3 hour flight mostly a breeze.  He loved playing with Gramma and Pappa, swimming in the pool and played on the beach.  Here are some of our favorite pics...

Getting ready to board

First time in the pool since the summer when he was 8 weeks old and he LOVED IT!

The obligatory vacation palm tree shot for Daddy

How fun that our trip coincided with the Ahern's vacation to Captiva
We spent this day at the beach

"Let's take a cute pic of Daniel playing by the ocean for the first time...."

...and the mom of the year moment...real smooth

Daniel and Gramma

Bath time!

Yes we make his baby food
Yes we tried to puree beef tenderloin
No he did not like it:)

Ft. Myers Beach

A little unsure of the sand at first



Chilling out in the pool

Daniel loved splashing in the pool and we were all pretty impressed with the way he "swam" and kicked his legs.
He could be the next Michael Phelps, not that we are way biased or anything!

We got to have a couple of date nights!
(Though I think we were still back by 9 o'clock)



Awww, we LOVE Sophie!
