A week ago we went on our first beach vacation with Jonathan. The last week of Peter's Intern year, the hospital gives all of the pediatric interns the week off! It is tradition that all the rising 2nd year residents and their families go on a beach week. So this year we all went to Ocean Isle Beach in North Carolina. We had a blast and as you can see from the pictures Jonathan had a good time as well. At first he wasn't so sure about the waves, and was not a big fan of getting his feet in the ocean however, after awhile he became a big fan of the beach. Due to the fact that he is an early riser, we would take him on the beach early in the morning and take long walks on the beach together as a family. Jonathan fell asleep on either Peter or myself every time! In my opinion life doesn't get any better than when you are sitting on a beach, but with a sleeping baby curled up on you it is simply heavenly! I also highly reccomend going on trips with a bunch of pediatricians, LOTS of hands to hold and love on your baby!

Strutting his stuff in his beach gear!

Playing on the beach with Daddy. His laugh makes our heart jump!

Asleep on Mommy during one of our morning walks.

Big grin! Must have seen some beach babes!

Jonathan wanted to fit in with the crowd so we put him in his "Dr. Dean Scrubs"

Jonathan was fascinated with the stuff on Dr. Mabry chest, nothing like Daddys! ha.

Everyone loved holding Jonathan. It was a perfect vacation for Mommy!
