Jamaica - No Problem

We arrived safely yesterday in Jamaica. The flight was uneventful despite the fact that Anthony has an ear infection and only got about 4 hours sleep the night before. We were expecting the worst, but Anthony was perfect. There was only about 25 people on the plane, so we were able to move around and be comfortable.
The weather here is great and the set up is great being so close to the beach. Although our little beach villa is just a few feet short of the baby monitor range. Oh well. Todd and I take turns while he naps going to the beach, and we have a lawn chair right outside the villa for the one staying to watch Anthony.
There must be something in the air here, because Anthony is so mellowed out. They have these little hammock huts on the beach and Anthony loves it. He will just cuddle up with me and sway for however long I want (something he would not normally do). It's so peaceful and relaxing. Last night while we were watching TV he let me rock him to sleep (again, something he wouldn't normally do).
We haven't tried taking him in the ocean yet, I'm afraid he wont like the salt. He really doesn't even like the sand. He doesn't want to touch it at all. He does however love the pool. He spent quite a bit of time in it this afternoon. They have a kiddie pool and an adult pool, but he seems much more content being played with and held by daddy in the big pool.
Okay, well I need to keep this short, internet fees are $0.28/minute, but I just wanted to let you all know that everything is going great, I will tell more and post pictures when we get back.

Are you staying at the same villa we stayed at a few years ago? Right next to Margaritaville?

Hope you have enough fun for all the rest of us back home. We are getting an ice storm starting... Already started I guess.
