Beach Baby!!

Hadley had a GREAT week in Florida!

Her first plane ride down went really well, much to our relief. Mini nap on take off and a mini nap on landing...and lots of playing in between. She doesn't sleep in her stroller or car seat, so why did we think she'd sleep on a plane?! But thankfully no fussing. She just didn't want to miss anything!

Sunday morning came early with a 5:30 a.m. wake up call to get fed, dressed, and out to the races for Grandmommy's 1/2 marathon. As you can see, Hadley could barely contain her excitement.

Grandmommy was nice enough to share her medal with Hadley after the race. We were all VERY proud of Grandmommy, who beat her previous year's time by almost 20 minutes!

Lunchin with Gigi

Hangin with Aunt Izzy

Hadley's first swim!



Hadley's first dunk under the water!

She handled it like a pro. Aside from the look of utter shock at what just happened to her, there was no coughing and no tears. We're going to have her swimming laps by the end of the summer!


On Monday, Daddy had to leave to go back to work and there was sadness felt by all.

Hadley's first trip to Duffy's!

She is the first of the 4th generation to dine at this family favorite. She'll probably have her first burger and eventually her first beer here too!


Hadley's first trip to the beach


Needless to say, I think she LOVED it!


One last cuddle with Gigi before heading to the airport.

Mom was very nervous about her first flight with Hadley by herself...but after a series of delays, a long wait on the runway, some screams here and there, and a couple minutes of pacing the aisles talking to nice grandparents and parents on the plane....


WE MADE IT! Albeit, a little haggard....but we made it!

That's awesome that you all were able to get to Florida for a little bit! Sounds like you did great with Hadley alone on the plane. . . you are one brave woman. We are actually going to Texas in a few weeks to visit some friends- all 5 of us. I have no idea how our 2 1/2 hour plane ride will go, but hopefully all will go well. I am so excited to get away. It will be a fun trip- but it will be interesting to go with all 3 kids!
