Grant loves Florida!

Our plane ride to Florida went relatively smoothly. Aside from hooking him up to the oxygen Grant did not seem to mind the flight. For a portion of the trip we put our tray table down (covered with a germ protector, of course)and put Grant on his back, so he could bat toys we held over his head. The three of us even managed to fall asleep for a bit all snuggled together.

You probably won't see a picture of Grant in his sunglasses on the blog because he hates them. :) The first day Jim brought him out to the beach with his bathing suit, sunglasses and hat, and Grant screamed and kicked the whole time. We quickly figured out that the beach is not his favorite place to be. But, he loves just about everything else in Florida. He loves to take stroller rides and look at everything around him. He is facinated by people and animals, especially dogs! They have live music playing much of the time and he loves to sit and stare at the guitar player. He is such a curious kid and I didn't realize how much only seeing our house and the hospital the last 4 months affected both of us!

Tomorrow we leave my parents' place and head to Jim's parents, four hours north.

Yay! I'm glad everyone is having fun in Florida. Yeah, babies are little sponges for all sorts of new and interesting things. I think being out is great for everyone.
