Nap Time in Puerto Rico

2012!

We spent New Years Eve on the ship.  I found this adorable tuxedo onesie for Joey and he looked absolutely adorable!

Out cold by 10PM

Happy New Year!

Keeping our Champagne safe!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At midnight, the ship blasted it’s horn and the music was blasting.  Joey twitched each time the horn sounded, but barely opened his eyes.

The Fat Virgin

We arrived at Tortola and chartered a catamaran to Virgin Gorda for the day. Beautiful!

Some of the group opted to swim to the island (note Uncle Dickie still hanging onto his beer can despite being exhausted)

 

 

 

 

 

The rest of us opted for the dingy

We left Joey back on the ship with Bubbie for the day.  We figured with Joey occupying her, we could have WAY more fun!

We ate lunch at Mad Dogs, a very interesting restaurant on the top of Virgin Gorda.  The restaurant was made up of 4 George Foreman grills, a little old lady and a hut.  They also had pet chickens running around the restaurant stealing food from the patrons so we would have to re-order.  The “Bushwhacker” signature cocktail was pretty amazeballs and the little old lady was so nice we couldn’t get mad at her for taking 1 hour to add up the tab.  We will definitely return on our next trip to The Fat Virgin…

Cruising with 25

We were fortunate enough to have Grandma and Grandpa join us on the cruise this year, along with the Burnetts, Blooms, Frendas and Panozzos.  We definitely had a nice-size crew with us, many of whom were ready and willing to take Joey off of our hands and allow us some adult time!  Here are some photos from the week…

 

 

 

 

 

I tried my best to stick to the nautical theme for Joey while on the ship.  I did an excellent job, but did not do such a great job capturing it on camera!

The casino was Joey’s favorite place.  He LOVED all of the bright lights…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Winning!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Joey LOVES the water!

Quality time with Grandpa!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And some with Grandma, too!

Silverman Family Dinner

Joey making his own buffalo mozzarella – what a MESS!  I seriously had to pick it out of his ears!

 

 

 

 

 

Joey loved the rolls that accompanied dinner each night.  So much so, we had to keep taking from other tables because they all eventually ended up on the floor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We had dinner at 8:30 each night so Joey was usually out cold by the end of it…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bubbie took Joey to bed after dinner so we could go out.  Most nights, we found Joey and Bubbie cuddling!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We went to the beach in Antigua for Joey’s first beach experience.  I’ve never seen water so clear…The water was a bit choppy for Joey’s liking, but he did all right with it…

Reading before nap time!

 

 

 

 

 

Wine tasting before dinner…We were definitely glad we participated.  We actually learned a lot about red wine.

 

 

 

 

 

We had some great professional photos taken, too!  I’ll post them upon our return…Now, it’s time to get back in the sun!

Joey was an angel on the plane ride to Puerto Rico.  He napped on the tray table and entertained the other passengers.  We were just happy we arrived with all 220lbs of luggage.  Greg keeps saying,  “we won’t be taking another vacation until our kids are old enough to carry their own shit.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We spent a few days with Grandma and Grandpa, eating and drinking our way through San Juan.  My favorite was yucca mafongo.

We also did a little site seeing and got caught in a downpour a mile away from our hotel. This photo doesn’t begin to describe how windy it got, but Joey was literally glued to the stroller from the wind…

Grandpa’s shirt was big on him before it got wet, but looked absolutely ridiculous post-downpour. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Joey had a difficult time transitioning to his new sleeping quarters so we entertained him in the early morning hours with Spanish cartoons. 

Joey wearing his “Vinnie” hat.  Although he looked quite content, he absolutely hated having the straw hat on his head.  We literally had to hold his hands down and distract him for 5 minutes before he forgot about it.  Terrible?  Maybe.

More accurate

Hannukah with The Silverman’s

We had a great Hannukah celebration at Bubbie and Zeyde’s Friday night.  We got to do a triple birthday celebration, too!  Happy Birthday Uncle Billy, Great Bubbie Go-Go and Zeyde!

7 Months Old!

Joey turned 7 months old today.  We spent the evening celebrating night 3 of Hannukah with the Bohrer’s.  We snapped some great photos of each of the babies and tried our best to get a good one of the two of them, without any luck!

Can’t believe he’s such a big boy!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Joey got to this position from his tummy (and also pulled himself to a stand yesterday)

Not a great shot, but check out the difference in head size!!

Revenge

I thought it would be a good idea for Joey to air out for a while before putting a new diaper on (logical, right?). I also thought it was a great time to shoot some cute photos. Joey thought otherwise and watered both the camera and my face. Further, he got his way and got a bath because he managed to drench himself as well.

Here are a few shots from before his “accident”

First Night of Hannukah

Joey and I read a bit about Hannukah before Greg came home from work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

High five for reading!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We got to FaceTime with Bubbie and Zeydie for the Hannukah Blessings (note the birthday candles used in place of Hannukah candles).  Thank you to the Mayster’s for the AWESOME menorah!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Time for Present-Overload

Thanks (Alyssa, Jordan, Tamar, Gary, Aaron, Bubbie and Zeydie) for tonight’s gifts! Joey loved each and every one of them (and is still enjoying the wrapping paper as I write this!)

Hannukah Part 1

We spent the day up north with Nonny, Poppy and the rest of the gang.  We had a great time celebrating Joey’s First Hannukah.  Joey got to taste Nonny’s famous potato latkes with applesauce, as well as egg white egg salad and cheese blintzes.  Although the food was yummy, the presents, singing songs and dreidel time were just as wonderful!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wrapping paper- Joey’s favorite!

Joey and His New Bestie!

Lucy came over for a playdate this week.  We wanted to get a shot of them snuggling, but it’s really Joey napping and Lucy talking in her sleep (or screaming her head off).  Either way, Joey didn’t flinch.

Tomorrow we’re hosting a shower for Lucy’s mom.  We’re all super excited to celebrate the new mom 🙂
