Last Wednesday through Sunday we had the rare chance to spend time in Florida for more than just a weekend. It was great spending time with family, and we got to meet the newest Hetzel - Jayden Bryce Hetzel. Chris, our oldest nephew, is the father to a darling little boy. He is sooo tiny. He only weighed 5 pounds, 2 ounces when he was born, and after holding my little pork chop, he felt so fragile. CJ was never that small, but I do miss the days when he was tiny.
CJ also got to go to the beach and swimming for the first time. Unfortunately, the day we went to the beach there was a tropical storm and we didn't get to get our feet in the sand or the ocean. We ate at a restaurant by the water and by the time we left, we were literally ankle deep in water. In a few weeks we are going to Panama City, and hopefully the beach will be more fun. And hopefully CJ will like the pool a little better. Kayley, Lexi and dad had fun in the pool, but CJ wasn't convinced.
"Umm...the pool. Dad says swimming is so much fun. I'm ready to jump in."
"I'm not so sure about this anymore..."
"Maybe pretty girls will make it better...nope."
"I don't like this!"
"This is not fun dad!"
"Still not OK!"
But the best part of the time was CJ getting loved on by his family and getting to spend uninterrupted time with his daddy.
CJ liked his Aunt Josie. He is excited to see her again in a few weeks.
Uncle Buddy and Kayley are good to sunggle up with too!
The only time mom put CJ down was to hold Jayden. She loved having arms full of babies!
After this, CJ was dubbed "pants head," and Scott didn't have to do any more diaper duty.
After a long day in the pool CJ was pooped out and after a date with mama, dad was too! Aren't they cute?!?
