Johnson Beach Trip 2007

We are home from our beach trip in Hilton Head, SC. Max got to meet his great grandmother and great grandfather Jackie & Joseph McCluskey. They enjoyed holding him and talking with him and Ben and I couldn't have asked for better baby sitters while we swam or napped or ate.

Max had many milestones this week, it seemed like he grew up a lot in this one week. He laughed and coo'ed more than ever! He also rolled over from his tummy to his back, using his feet to push off and again from his back to his side not quite making it to his tummy. He also slept for 6 hours on the last night! Amazing! I actually woke up at his usual feeding time and he was still snoozing. I kinda didn't know what to do for a second - then I was like whoo hoo! more sleep!
We brought the pack-n-play and that was nice because it has a changing table built in. We didn't bring the swing though so we traded off swinging him in our arms.

It was a very low key vacation and fun to hang out with family. Maxwell's cousin, Finnley is 2 years old and it was so much fun to watch him play, interact with us and Max, swim, and be potty trained. He is at that age where everything he says is so darn cute! I was changing Max's diaper and Finn was watching and when I threw the diaper in the trash Finn said " I don't want to bite that" so cute!!! And then later we saw a bug and he said he wanted to bite the bug but he said it like a joke.

Each beach trip we have one theam party night. This year we celebrated Halloween since Finnley and Max both have their costumes already. Becky (Max's Aunt) brought some fake pumpkins that are carvable! They are really neat in both senses of the word - no seeds and pumpkin slime to deal with and easy to carve - she got them a joanne's - we might have to get more!

Sorry I don't have more photos it's hard to hold a baby, pacifier, blanket, diet dr pepper, book and a camera LOL!
