We took Mia on her first vacation this past weekend to Hilton Head. She did beautifully. I thought her sleeping habits would be disrupted a little but really were not. She woke up one extra time during the night and her sleep stretches only lasted about 4 hours but I thought that was great considering. I thought once we got back home she would need to get readjusted, but did not. She slept for 8 straight hours Sunday night.
We took her shopping at the outlets and bought her some warmer (and bigger) clothes from Carter's and Baby Gap. I really like Carter's stuff. It's roomier and is just good quality clothing. We got her the cutest body suit and denim overalls from Baby Gap and a pink fuzzy coat with little ears on the hood part. It looks so warm and snuggly. They are going to look adorable on her!
The next big event was introducing her to the sand and the ocean. I'd like to say that her face just lit up and she was truly amazed by that vast amount of water, but she is only 2 months old so she just looked at it without much reaction. In her defense it was about 6:00 in the evening and she was winding down for the day. It was so cute to see her scrunch her toes in the sand. She wasn't scared of any of it at all. We got a couple of smiles out of her. We didn't stay down there too long. It wasn't cool to us but for her the breeze seemed to be too much. We stayed long enough for a few pictures and then back to the condo.
We tried to have dinner out that night but it wasn't agreeing with Mia so we ended up having to get it to go...which was fine. I was with my 2 favorite people so not much else mattered. The last day was very relaxing. She woke up in the morning and nursed and then slept on her daddy for a couple of hours. Long enough for him to watch an entire movie. LOL! She woke up and nursed again and instead of breakfast, we ended up going out for lunch. The last time we were in HH (2 months ago to be exact), we found a Mediterranean restaurant we like to eat at. They have an outside patio which is where we like to sit. Mia slept through lunch but woke up just as we were getting ready to leave. We left for home shortly after lunch. Swaddled her up and she slept the entire ride home.
It was a very nice weekend.
