Well, we had our second road trip of Jackson's life. Kiera and I left early with the kids on Friday and they did great. There was only 1 brief moment of crying. Little did I know what was awaiting us. Jackson did great during the days, but refused to sleep at night or take naps. The last night we were so desperate for sleep that we put Jackson in the bed with us. As soon as he got in the bed, he put one hand on me and one on Greg and fell fast asleep. It was actually very sweet. Jackson had many firsts this trip. He used a sippy cup for the first time. He was so excited and of course put it straight into his mouth and started sucking. He also had his first bath without an infant bath tub. And finally, he had his first ocean and pool experience. He really didn't like the water, but it was very cold so that may have been part of the problem. He also wasn't sleeping much, so probably not the best time to try to introduce new things. He didn't mind the sand and would sit and play in it for a little while. I am sure his next trip we won't be able to get him out of the water like his big cousin Mary. Here are some pics from the trip.
Noni and Granddaddy had tons of toys for the kids. This is when we first arrived and Mary is waving Hello!
Jackson and daddy. Notice the drool on his short. Lots of drool, but still no teeth!
Noni bought Jackson some cool sunglasses for the beach trip.
During this trip Jackson actually loved to be in his stroller. This is one of the few places we could get him to fall asleep.
Beach bum!

Who needs the sand and the ocean when you can play with this fascinating tire.
Luckily mommy put sun tan lotion on my belly!
I'm just going to sit and catch some rays with daddy.
We took Jackson to a little inlet where the water was warmer and he actually sat and played in it.

Bathtime in the rubber ducky!
We tried very hard to get a good picture of the babies with Noni and Granddaddy but it was close to their bedtime so they would not cooperate. Jackson and Mary are looking at eachother like what in the world is going on?
