This was Trent's 1st time at the beach and he really enjoyed it! He liked playing and walking in the sand and loved watching and trying to follow the seagulls. He was interested in the ocean, but the waves were rough most of the time we were there, so he never got to get in it for long. Trent did like the pool and especially the steps inside the pool where he wanted to do his own thing with no assistance. He also loved the outdoor shower...pulling the chain and letting it wash all over his head-it was too funny to watch! He liked the condo and made his way into every possible area. He liked the music that came out of the speaker on the ground floor outside the elevator...he waved or clapped his hands every time and definitely has some "groove" in him. He was tired from all the activities we did every day and was really quite a trooper about everything. He went to bed easily at night and at nap...but unfortunately he would wake up every night, and it was very hard for me to get him to go back to sleep. His favorite activity was definitely walking and exploring, whether it be on the beach, in the condo or just around the condo. He is such a sweet boy and was such a "trooper"!! Trenty loves his big brother and sister so much! He cries when his brother gets upset and cries. He hugs his siblings to make them feel better when they're sad. He's a little lovey-boy. His most recent form of communication is his emphatic, negative head nod. In other words, he shakes his head "no". But, it's so cute how he emphatically shakes it from side to side and almost puts his whole body into it. And, he really does understand exactly how and when to use his "no" nod. Example: Trenty, are you tired? "no-nod". Trenty, do you want to get a bath? "no-nod". Trenty, do you want to go outside? .... he gives no response except a hand pointed toward the door and a grunt and fuss until he gets to go. It's really cute. Trent really enjoyed spending time with his Gege and Papa...they are so sweet to him and he loves them so much!! It was so much fun getting to take our baby to the beach and watch him take it all in for the first time!
