Toes in the Sand

Well, David finally passed the test of all tests in mommy & daddy's book: he's a great traveler! We took our first plane ride together on 2/28 for our company's trip to Atlantis in the Bahamas. While we severely overpacked, bringing way more suitcases than we would ever have dreamt of bringing back in our pre-parent days, we sailed through check-in, security and boarding, and David was a super star. He has mastered the art of smiling any time someone looks in his direction and raises their voice to say hi, and gives a flirtatious giggle if it's from a pretty lady who also remarks on his cuteness :) 

After boarding, David decided to take a quick nap during take-off. 

Once we were airborne, he woke right up and stayed awake for the entire trip, once again, flirting with all of the girls around us. When we started our descent, David fell back asleep, and snoozed right through customs (he missed the Bahamian band welcoming us to the island, but we still got a picture from the passport line). And at the ripe age of 4.5months, David got his first passport stamp! (Beating mom to her first stamp by a solid 19yrs...).

And now the fun begins! David woke up right before we got to the hotel, and it was go-time.  Here's a photo montage of our trip :)

First time at the beach!

David loved looking down at his toes in the sand :)

Getting ready to hit the pool with mom:

Feels just like bath time!

Meeting up with daddy at the golf course:

a lovely afternoon siesta...

not sure that's a great teething toy...

we'll save this one for when he's a golf pro some day :)

Time to go see some fishies!

And our last night's dinner out with some friends. First time with chop sticks!

David didn't bother with the slots... not loud or bright enough for him to stay awake I guess :)

We can't wait for the warm weather to hit the East coast so we can let David's piggies be free again! 

Our flight back was just as smooth as the way down, except this time David slept the whole flight (yeah yeah, been there done that). We can't wait for our next trip with our awesome little traveler!
