1st Trip to the Beach (AC), Paige's Baby Naming & Grandpa's 60th Birthday!!

On Fri. 5/20, we flew on a private, charter jet to surprise Grandpa for his 60th birthday!!! We definitely flew in style - got there 15 minutes before the plane left, you had your very own seat, free yogurt parfaits, and then when we arrived, we had free coffee/pastries/cookies waiting for us! GrAndi spoils us!!!

We had a great Friday! We met Michelle and Mark Dunn for breakfast at a diner when we arrived. You were so great at the diner. Worst thing you did was rip up your placemat and throw crayons! Ha!! Then, we went to Bellies & Booties, of courss. And guess who made a BIG purchase??? GRANDI!!!! Then we went to Wegman's to get some yummies, and headed back home because you needed a nap BIG TIME!! :) We all took naps, actually, and then Grandpa came home around 6:15pm! He was SO surprised to see you. I was hiding behind a wall, and you were just walking around the kitchen when he came in, stunned to see you in the house! :) I have it all on video!!

On Saturday, we drove down to Atlantic City, and met with our friend, Jennifer, who helped us out a lot for my wedding! She loved visiting with you!! Then we went to Great Aunt Een's house where you got to see Great Aunt Een, Great Uncle Lars, Cousins Sean & Rob, and of course, Logan!!!! You loved Logan - he was a giant stuffed animal to you. After lunch at Ventura's (where you were making eyes at Rob), we took you and Logan to the beach. YOU LOVED IT!!! In fact, if I hadn't been chasing after you, you would've definitely been in the ocean. You walked so steadily on the sand, and right towards the water. We got some great pictures. After a loooong day, we went home, and Aunt Heather came to see you!

You woke up around 5:00am on Sunday morning as hot as a potato! You definitely had a fever, so I stripped you down to the diaper, and gave you some Motrin. This seemed to help, but you were really coughing and sounded terrible. To be safe, Grandpa & I took you to Urgent Care. You had some kind of bronchial viral thing going on, so we picked up an Albuterol Inhaler, breathing chamber, and an oral steroid for you. The inhaler is really hard to use with you because we have to do 2 puffs of the Albuterol in this breathing aparatus, and make sure you breathe it in. You think it's a toy, and won't let us keep it on your mouth/nose for more than 10 seconds. The doctor said that there is not much you can do for a virus, but he thinks this will make it easier to breathe.

Later on Sunday, we went to Morris Plains for Paige Gladstein's baby naming. You got to see all of GrAndi's friends! They had not seen you since GrAndi's surprise party last May. They couldn't believe how grown up you are now! Today is also Grandpa's 60th birthday, so we went to Joe's Crab Shack for dinner. You had a great time!! You had a couple chicken fingers (shared the rest with GrAndi), some applesauce and Pedialyte! Yum! As always, you were fabulous at dinner!!

GrAndi and I gave you a breathing treatment around 8:30am, so hopefully you wake up feeling great!!! We go home tomorrow, which is sad, but hopefully we'll be back in the summer. I'd love to actually take you in the ocean!

Sleep well, my love!
