Week 20

July 22-28

Jack has mastered rice cereal! :) He is eating it twice a day now and absolutely loves it. Next week we will move onto baby foods! Not looking forward to those diapers. We had the opportunity to go to Myrtle Beach, SC to meet up with Ed's family on their vacation. They go down every summer and somehow for the past 6 years the Navy has prevented Ed from going. We didn't think we were going to be able to go this summer, but some stuff changed at Ed's work and the timing worked out perfectly. Since we didn't think we would be going, no one was expecting us. We got to surprise Ed's mom! Grandpa Harvin helped us out with getting a place to stay and making sure Grandma didn't find out. She was so surprised she started crying! I wish I had a picture.


Our first morning at the beach we got up at Jack's usual 5:30-6:00am wake up and decided we should go take a walk on the beach to watch the sunrise. It was so peaceful early in the morning. Ed said it is his favorite memory of the beach because it was just the three of us and Jack could see the ocean without the sun blazing down on his little head. We took a nice long walk and got some pictures. Afterwards we went out to breakfast and then shopping for some tacky souvenir shirts.
We had a great time at the beach. Jack went swimming for the first time in a big pool. I wasn't sure how he would react to it since the water is much colder than the bathtub. He LOVED it!! He was kicking his legs and splashing around. I don't think we will have any problems teaching him to swim.

We took Jack down to the beach for a little while during the day. He really couldn't be out on the beach too much during the peak hours b/c even with sunscreen, a hat, a shirt, and his baby cabana it was just too hot for him. He made an appearance though.

One of the days we were in SC Mimi, Uncle Andy, and Aunt Caroline came to visit Jack for a few hours since they hadn't seen him in awhile. They wanted to see his swimming skills so we took him down to the pool. Here he is with Andy and Caroline.

Jack was obsessed with Uncle Andy. I think it's because he has so many interesting things to look at with the tattoos, piercings, facial hair, etc.

After long days in the sun it is always fun to go out to dinner with family and friends. We went to some great places for dinner with Grandma and Grandpa Harvin. Of coures Grandma couldn't get enough of Jack and was gracious to hold him at dinner so Ed and I could eat. He loved every minute of it. He was very well behaved at the restaurants.

Well that was our beach adventure! Sorry it took so long to post this, there were so many pictures to go through.
