Beach Baby!

John Turner made his beach debut this Memorial Day weekend. Gunter and I headed down to "Worth the Wait" (my parent's house) on Thursday night. We were off to a great start because John Turner slept the whole car ride. He didn't make a peep until Mom pulled his out of his carseat upon arrival. John Turner decided that he was feeling so relaxed that he slept through the night! Yes, you heard me... my 6 week old child slept through the night. Six hours Thursday night, five hours Friday and Saturday, and four hours Sunday night. Maybe he was lulled to sleep by the ocean waves or the fact that he had to bundle under his covers to stay warm, because Dad cranks the air down so low! Whatever it is I would like to know. Because since returning to his humble abode... he has yet to repeat those glorious nights. In fact, last night I felt like I had brought home a newborn. He woke up every 2 hours!

Raleigh and Christen arrived Friday, so we ventured down to the Prices beach place Friday afternoon to catch up with the twins! They are so cute!

Poor John Turner... he'll be able to hold his head up soon!

Wednesday (before Memorial Day) John Turner woke up not acting like himself. He was really congested, sneezing, coughing, etc. I took him to the pediatrician just to be safe. It turned out it was just a cold. While we were there, I mentioned that his bellybutton had gooey stuff coming out of it. So Dr. Strassberg closed it back up again! That is why it looks black. I scrubbed and scrubbed, but couldn't get it off. Oh well, it will be memories for John Turner's first beach trip! One week later he is all clean. 

Hanging out with the twins!

John Turner came home with his new love... a bouncey seat! 

Thanks Cha Cha (my mom) and Dad (he hasn't decided on a name yet)

I came home with the stomach virus! It was terrible. We are so thankful for grandparents in town who came to our rescue. They came and got John Turner and let him spend the night with them until I was in the clear and our house was Lysoled and clean! 

We are all anxious to get back down the beach. Hopefully it will be sooner than later!
