Brady's First Vacation

Last week we took Brady on his first vacation.  We went to Orlando to spend the week with Dad, Lyla, Daniel, Casey, Lysa, and Chase.  It was very stressful to plan and pack for a soon-to-be three month old, but it all worked out very well.

On the two hour flight to Orlando, Brady was awake for the first hour and slept for the second.  He was very good- no crying, no fussing at all.  I was very relieved!  We rented a car and drove to the house Dad rented.  It is the same place we stayed last year, so we were familiar with the area.

We had a great week, with equal parts fun and relaxation.  We went to the Magic Kingdom, Disney's Boardwalk, and Downtown Disney, we went shopping, and out to eat a couple times.  We also relaxed in the hot tub, played video games, watched a movie or two, and swam.

Brady was really funny in the pool.  It was heated, and Dad likes to keep the temperature quite warm, so it was probably indistinguishable from Brady's bath water.  Oddly enough, he had no reaction when we carried him into the pool.  None at all.  It was as if we were just carrying him around the living room like normal.  At least he didn't dislike it... we'll try again next year!

Brady did great the entire week, and he slept through the flight home.  We are so lucky to have such a good baby!  We were also really happy that he could spend a week with his family.

Mesmerized by the fan.  Best toy ever, and we didn't even have to pack it.
