I got to spend my first vacation with my Mom's family in Marathon, Florida. This place is in the middle of the Keys, but for some reason they are just islands. Weird! We stayed at this huge house! It was like a mansion! We had three floors all to ourselves along with a Kick-Butt Pool!
I had tons of fun! I got to spend a lot of time doing this thing called Swimming. I've done it before, but not like on vacation. Every day we went to our pool and I got to show off my huge muscles! I had to start charging people who wanted to see my Gun Show! I loved it when Mommy would twirl me around in the water. I had my own little floating device so I could cruise around in the pool. Dad thought that the floaty was a little too girly, but I didn't care! I don't get the difference between "girl" and "boy" stuff. If it's fun, I like it!
I got to hang out with my Cool Cousin Skylee all throughout Vay-Cay (as my Mommy's family calls it). She gave me lots of Free Hugs and Kisses. We got to celebrate Aunt Sara and Aunt Alyssa's birthdays, too. Both of them are like, Super Ancient. Like in their Twenties or something Really Old.
During Vay-Cay, I learned a ton of new things. I guess I needed to get away from my stressful existence in Cincinnati to acquire all my new knowledge. The first and most exciting thing that I learned was crawling! Finally! I thought I would just roll around forever! I haven't crawled too far yet, but I can still crawl quite a few feet. You know, I need to take Baby Steps. Walk before you Run. Or in this case, Crawl before I can Crawwwwwllll. At one point, I was tossing a ball away from me and then crawling to go after it. That was pretty cool! Also, if you notice from the picture below, I twist my tongue around when I'm concentrating Really Hard, just like my Pop-o can!
Another thing that I learned was Pointing. I liked Pointing at Papi and other people. I also learned how to Scrunch My Face. Sometimes I Point at someone and then Scrunch my Face. I think it must be a stinky odor that I smell, even though no one else can possibly be any stinkier than what I can produce. I'm also saying stuff like "Tickle tickle tickle," "ma ma ma," but I still focus mostly only saying "da da da da," because, you know, Dad Rocks!
Another cool thing that I did was fly in a plane! I was very good on the plane, with very few Cranky Moments. But that was because I was tired/hungry, so nothing new. I loved flying because I saw lots of ladies on the plane! I love flirting with them and smiling at them. When they smile and wave back, I get really shy and hide my head. I guess that makes them like me more! I am becoming more of a Mommy's Boy on this trip, raising my hands up in the air whenever mom is in the vicinity. Even though I say "da da da da" more, I really am more of a Mommy's Boy. Sorry Dad! (you still rock, though).
I also got to spend a whole day with my Mimi and Papi while everyone else went to Key West. I had a great time with them! I even got to put a bucket on my head like a hat! I loved it! My Mimi and Papi are a lot of fun!
Overall I had a great vacation. I got to see a lot of spectacular sunsets like this one:
But I'm super tired today. I think I'm going to take about a 3-hour-and-27-minute nap now. Good night everyone!
