Taylor, Peyton and I went on a vacation to my family's condo in West Palm Beach, Florida. We spent the first few days just the 3 of us and then my parents joined us for a few days. It was a perfect week and a much desired get-away. The sunshine, the beach, the pool, spending quality time with Taylor and Peyton, watching Taylor with our little girl, having my parents there and watching them with our little girl, watching my Dad teach Taylor how to body surf, driving around the gorgeous areas by our condo, the fun foods and smoothies, the jogs on the beach with my Dad ... it was my little paradise.
Peyton loved the beach and wasn't scared by anything. She loved carrying around a shovel and digging in the sand, sitting in the ocean where the waves come up on the beach, walking in the sand, and getting thrown in the air by Daddy.
Peyton warmed right up to her Grandma and Grandpa. They became good friends and had some great quality time together. I am thankful for their help while they were there, especially Grandma's and all the spoiling presents she gave Peyton.
Peyton couldn't deal with her sun-hat on her head, but she thought she was pretty cool with her sunglasses at times. She was being so cute posing and hanging out by the pool on her very own big chair.
More than actually being in the pool, Peyton was found playing with the fountains and the rocks by the pool. She was very entertained!
Peyton enjoyed "dunking" Daddy and playing "ring around the rosy" with mommy in the pool. She is doing really well with the water and it is so fun to swim with her.
The sun, the Benedryl for Peyton's allergic reactions to sunscreen, and the short nights left Peyton tuckered out. She fell asleep on Taylor's shoulder in the pool more than once. It was a tender moment as a mom to see my husband hold his sleeping baby in the pool.
Peyton flipped the switch and has become Daddy's little princess. She cries when Daddy leaves and often wants him to hold her. It is so sweet. The timing worked out quite nice as they were able to enjoy lots of time together on our family trip.
Our trips to Florida always include fun restaurants. Here we are at Cheesecake Factory where Peyton once again enjoyed the fountains.
We made friends with one of the workers out by the pool at the Ritz Carleton thanks to my Dad. He was so nice to give Peyton her own fruit platter more then once for free. Peyton ate the whole bowl and was in heaven.
We took the opportunity to snap a few updated family shots. Peyton is at such an adorable age. She is learning new things and gaining more personality every day.
I am so grateful my parents made such an effort and pulled off joining us in Florida. It added so much to the trip. I love having them around.
I love my parents and am so grateful for them. I am so thankful Taylor has a good relationship with them too. Our trip fell over Father's Day and I must say how very blessed I am to have such an amazing Dad and husband who is such a wonderful Dad to Peyton.
