On Sunday, we packed up everything we though we could possibly need into one huge suitcase, two small suitcases, one backpack, one diaper bag, one stroller, and one car seat. Somehow with all our stuff we made it through the airport and on the airplane. We got in the first row and Grayson made us instant friends with the flight attendants... however the woman sitting in our row at the window was not to excited... not just because we had a small baby... but because we took up the first two overhead bins with all of our stuff and she had to put her suitcase back at row 5.
Grayson was a rock star on the airplane... I nursed him during take-off and landing and otherwise he played on Dave's lap and feel asleep in mine.
SO HAPPY to be at the airport ready to go!
Playing on Daddy's lap!
We got to our fancy Hilton waterfront hotel in Huntington Beach... got the little room crib set up... put Grayson to bed and settled in. He woke up screaming at midnight... slept till 2 and started fussing until he woke up screaming at 3... then he did not go back to sleep... until after 5 and not without me pacing the room with him for 15 min AND he would only stay asleep in bed with us. He woke up again at 7... and so we gave up and got up for the day. We walked out to the end of the big long pier and ate breakfast at the Ruby's Diner. We got back to our room and Grayson proceeded to take a 2 hour nap... so Dave stayed in the room with him and I walked to the CVS pharmacy to pick up some cereal for me to eat in the morning and some swim diapers so we could take Grayson into the pool. They of course did not have the diapers but we ran out to Target once Grayson woke up. After yet another long nap... we took Grayson to the pool for his first swim! I was very excited about this and am pretty sure I had the most fun! But I'm going to keep trying... I'm planning on buying him a little floaty deal and hopefully then he'll like it better. We got a few smiles but none that we caught on camera. But I have a few more days left to get him to really love it!!!
Getting in the pool for the first time!
Not sure how he feels about this...
There was a duck in the pool with us.
Starting to kick a little...
Lounging poolside with Daddy.
Last night we went for a nice sushi dinner for Dave's birthday. Grayson slept crappy again... but not so crappy that he stayed awake for a couple hours... just woke up every two to three hours. Here's hoping tonight is even better!
Today we walked into town and had some lunch and after Grayson wakes up from his nap I'm going to take him to experience the ocean for the first time! Unfortunately I'll be on my own so there won't be very many good pictures... but I'll do what I can.
Grayson is making me friends all over this adorable little town! Everywhere we go everyone is super friendly and talks to us... I'm not sure we are making friends with the neighbors at the hotel with all the night time crying... but we'll try and win them over! :) Will fill you in later with more of our exciting adventures!
