1. Mom and dad were both there, totally relaxed and undistracted.
2. Lots of play time with his very silly and entertaining father.
3. The gentle breeze and soothing ocean sounds he could hear from our screened in porch.
4. His portable swing which he took his afternoon nap in every day.
5. Getting to sleep in mom and dad's bedroom like he used to back in the day (like 3 weeks ago).
We took him down to the beach one afternoon, but as you can tell from the picture it was a tad too breezy.
How blessed am I to have these two cuties to share my heart with. As previously mentioned, John Thomas and his daddy really had a chance to bond during the week.
The weather couldn't have been any better. I was able to sunbathe, exercise and read every day. I finished the most amazing book, East of Eden. Thanks to Jason's mom who came down to babysit, we were able to go on not one, but two dates. We decided to venture in to downtown Charleston and try out Magnolias. I would recommend it to anyone who wants one of the best meals of their life. You must try the scallop appetizer if you go.
While Chester had a fabulous time at my mom and dad's, he is back to being my trusty sidekick here at home. The video below isn't too exciting, I just wanted to share with the world how not-sleepy our little boy is at bedtime. If anyone has advice on how to get our baby to go to sleep at a reasonable hour (i.e. before 11 p.m.), I'm all ears.
I thought he was asleep in Jason's arms. I guess it was the wind blowing in his face. So cute! I don't have any experience but I hear if you stand on your head with one eye closed the baby will fall asleep. Just saying. Once you try it, please post pics.
