Vacation in Tampa

Well Catie, Grammy, and I are back from the sunny south with mixed emotions. The week was filled non stop relaxation in the sun - just what we needed. It was sad to say goodbye to Uncle Matt and Aunt Tanya and to leave the sunny weather, but it was great to see Daddy again. Boy did we miss him.

Here we are ready to begin our adventure. I don't mind telling you I was a little nervous about the flight.


Catie on the other hand was not. She got bored waiting in line for customs and decided to take a nap.


This is how I spent about two hours of the flight each way. Luckily we were right at the front so I had room to stand. This little lady loves to move.


Catie finally getting to meet her wonderful Aunt Tanya.


Sleeping just in onsies - without sleep sacks and sleepers!


Catie and Matt checking each other out.


By the end of the trip they were good friends.


Catie not quite ready to sit up regularly in a stroller wearing a ridiculously large hat.


Ahh... but that's much more comfortable - napping in the breezy shade.


Catie couldn't get enough of Aunt Tanya.


Playing on her activity mat is way more fun outside.


Chloe was our side kick the whole trip. Catie couldn't figure it out - Ellie's so small, so is Chloe a dog or a horsey?


We spent lots of time playing with our toys - and Catie actually seems to *sort of* like tummy time now.


In fact, we had a big moment! During one of our play sessions, Catie rolled over from tummy to back for the first time. A long while ago, in her sleep, she rolled over from back to tummy. She proceeded to do this a handful of times. However, every time she woke up, she would wail... not such a fan of being stuck face down. Consequently, she gave that up for a while. So I was so excited to see her rolling the opposite way! This is actually her second time as I didn't have the camera ready the first go.
