Wedding and Honeymoon...All With A 5 Month Old in Tow!

The big day has come and gone, and now we're back from our honeymoon already! We had a wondeful ceremony andrecption on Sunday, August 10th. Everything went off without any problems. No babies screamed during the ceremony, nobody passed out, and nobody got so nervous they had to visit the bathroom. So I would say it was a huge success. I can't wait to get the pictures back! Our photographer said about 4 weeks until they would be available online for viewing, and I can't wait to see how they turned out! We all got to the church by 3:30, which was a miracle. Everyone looked great too. I can't wait to see our colors together in our pictures! The reception was a blast. Alex had a tough time towards the end and Abe and I had to leave the reception to calm him down. I think he was just missing Mommy and Daddy, because once we took him outside, he calmed down immediately and we were able to return to the reception and dnace with him and eveyone else. It was a lot of fun though! We have to thank everyone for traveling and helping with all of the preparations, as well as the plethora of wedding presents we received. It was amazing to have so many people we care about together to help us celebrate. After the wedding, we headed down to Ocean City for 3 days with Alex. His first vacation and trip to the beach! We all ahd a blast! It was nice to have just the 3 of us together celebrating and enjoying Alex's first vacation. We took him to the beach for the first time on Tuesday, and put him in his bumbo seat under our makeshift "camp", complete with a tent and tons of towels! LOL. We also took him down the shore for his first dip in the ocean. I held him while he sat in the sand. Once a wave came up and touched his little toes and legs, he sat shocked for a minute, then started crying, so his dip didn't last long. The water was cold! He also took his first tram ride on the boardwalk, which he LOVED! He smiled and laughed the whole way down, and just couldn't get enough of looking around. In fact, he isn't looking in most of the pictures that were taken outside because he was so busy looking at all of the things around him. He also loved beng in his floatie in the pool. He was so lazy in it! He just laid back and didn't even kick his legs that much. Unfortunately, we had to come home today, because I had to squeeze a doctor's appointment in for him before I go back to work on Monday. He needs his most recent shots and his 5 month check-up. He has them every other month now, instead of every month. I can't believe I am back to Middle School on Monday! I'm going to miss Alex so much! I'll defintely be counting down to June again. Alex will be 15 months old by then. How different he will be by June 2009! I am going to add some pictures to this posting, but because there are so many, I'll make a slide show of the wedding and the beach and put it on top of this. I can't believe the wedding, the honeymoon and the summer have all come and gone, but they have, and now I am looking forward to what's next for us. Our future together, Alex's firsts--- Halloween, Christmas, Birthday , steps, crawling, talking, etc. It's all very exciting to look forward to those things, and I know we'll treasure the memories of the past week forever.
