SC Family Trip

My first road trip! Mom, dad and I piled in our car with just about everything we own and headed off to South Carolina for a visit with Mommy's side of the family. This was my first chance to meet some of the family and an opportunity to catch up with some folks who I haven't seen since I was just a little baby.

Wow, my cousin Cecilia is loads of fun! She is very sweet and enjoyed helping Mommy and Daddy take care of me.

I was so glad to finally meet my cousin Greta! She is a big girl and I learned a lot from her. She was also very sweet and I really enjoyed playing with her and imitating her!

Hello?

Alright, somebody my own age! Andrew belongs to Mommy's friend Kelly. They have known each other since they were young and just happened to both have kids the same month! He was a cutie! I especially liked his outfit that had sea turtles and fish on it.

Andrew was nice enough to allow Daddy some time to take a few photos.

Here's Kelly with Andrew.

Sometimes I like to pretend I am a monkey in a cage when I'm in my pack-n-play. Mommy and daddy were really getting a kick out of me doing this, so I just kept it up for a while. It feels good to squish your face against that mesh!

The boys found some time to get out on the lake and do some fishing. Here is my Uncle Adam holding up a stripa' while Matt hangs out.

Here is Uncle Matt and Aunt Anne, relaxing by the lake with Maya. Sorry guys, I guess good ol' dad neglected to get a picture of me with you!

We tried a little cousin choo choo train, but I was done with it pretty quickly. Hurry up and take the picture, would you daddy?

It was great to see Nana again. She always puts a smile on my face, even if you can't really see it behind the pacifier.

Adam's girlfriend, Elissa, was very nice and got some baby time in while we were there.

Uncle Adam is silly. I could tell he's a seasoned pro at this after having two girl babies of his own!

So there you have it, my first trip to South Carolina! Thanks everyone for entertaining me all week and letting us take over various rooms with all of our stuff! Remember, there's a standing invitation for everybody to come down to Florida to visit us!
