Trip to Destin Florida

We took our first vacation as a family of four to Destin Florida!! It was such a blessing that we had a free place to stay for an entire week and the cherry on top was that it was probably one of the nicest places we have ever stayed at. We stayed at a 3-level beach house in Miramar Beach, Florida with our own private pool and golf cart to make going to the beach a breeze. With all that room, we couldn't resist inviting my parents and Vicki & Dave to come with us!

This was Parker's first plane ride and Preston's first time to remember a plane ride...he loved the feeling of the take-off and looking out the window and being up with the clouds. We flew and my parents and Vicki & Dave drove so they didn't arrive until that evening. While we waited on them to arrive, Preston was chomping at the bit to go to the beach so we jumped on the golf cart and headed out. We took a quick tour around and then set Preston loose to play on the beach. His reaction was so heart warming that I wished I could bottle that emotion up and relive it again and again. It was heaven on earth for him!

First Day

Beach Day

The first day, we all agreed we needed to spend that time at the beach and then do dinner on the beach that night and that is exactly what we did. The weather was perfect, not too hot, not cold at all and full of sunshine. Preston played in the sand with Daddy, Mal and Grandma building sand castles and being buried alive! We had fun trying to catch little fishies in our sand buckets and Parker liked listening to the sound of the real ocean! That evening we ate at a restaurant right on the beach and watched the sunset! When we got back to the house, we put Parker to bed and then played a game of joker where the infamous "Bye-Bye" wave from Preston was born.

Parker's Second Month

Time is flying by and Parker is getting older by the minute. This month the main issue we had was his baby acne. My first reaction when he started to breakout of course was food allergies because that is exactly what happened with Preston. I felt a little disappointed that we would have to most likely deal with food allergies with Parker but I knew we would make it through and we knew better how to deal with it. We took him to the doctor to get his doctors opinion and to my surprise he didn't think it was food allergy related at all because the breakouts were only on his face and not on his body. He said he had baby acne and to use cortizone cream and it should clear up. Deep down I didn't think it was baby acne that it had to be food allergies but I did want the Doctor said and thankfully after about 3 weeks worth of using the cream, the breakouts started to go away!!

Parker also took his first vacation and it was a beach vacation to Destin Florida for a week with Mal, Paw Paw, Vicki and Dave. Parker did really good on his first plane ride and it was fun to get his 2 month pictures on the beach. 

Parker is also starting to lift his head so it won't be long before he will be able to hold his head up!
