Our First Trip to LBI



Three summers ago my oldest niece Gaby loved to say "Super!" in Spanish which sounded even cuter. After she went back to PR, Dave and I kept it up and smiled every time. That's exactly what our vacation is, super!! We've only been here two nights but what a difference! Andres is asking to get dressed nice and early. When home he mostly wants to spend all day in his birthday suit and I have to beg him to get dressed and go out.

We go straight to the beach, which is our back yard here, literally. I tried making him a really neat Jurassic park for his dinos complete with trees, mountains and lake but he destroyed everything with a mischievous laugh. After only an hour or so we had to come back because his "underwear got wet". The surf got him so of course he stripped out of his bathing suit right there at the beach. It was back to square one. Dave had to carry him buck naked back to the house because he refused to wear "wet underwear". So funny.

Evan is eating like a champ these last two days. He had 5 ounces this morning and staying awake for long periods of time getting to know the new surroundings. I'm getting to know him pretty well now. I can tell when he's going to have a sleepy day or not. And when it's not he's a young warrior for sure (just like the meaning of his name). He kicks hard and looks around following us and turns his head.

Dave is the best dad and hubby ever! He packed the car, is doing the grocery shopping, cooks dinner and breakfast and is still sharing night and morning feedings. Too bad we can't stay on vacation for ever.
