Beach Bums

I know it has been a long time since I've posted but we've been so busy! Last night, we got to El Dorado after a week long trip in Seaside! We had so much fun!!
We have driven through Seaside when we were in Destin but have never stayed there. We had a great house and loved being able to walk everywhere! We went with Gigi, Pop, Aunt Sara, Nanny, and Aunt ReRe, and some more members of our extended family. There were probably about 20 of us and we had houses next door to each other. It was so much fun! There were so many cute shops and gorgeous houses!!

The view from our porch


It was McCoy's first beach experience and let's just say, he prefers the pool! He didn't mind sitting on the beach as long as he was far away from the water. I think the noise of the waves scared him!

Trying it out...

"Save me Daddy!!!"

However, he loved sitting under the umbrella and eating sand!!! He thought that was really tasty!


"This is something new..."

"Hey mom, have you ever tried this stuff? There's plenty for both of us!"


"This is the life!"


We had a pool in our backyard, which was great! McCoy loved swimming and when he went down for a nap, we just brought the monitor outside with us.



"Who needs the beach?"


"Somebody better catch me!"


"Here I come, Gigi!"


"I could get used to this..."


Unfortunately, our camera broke one day on the beach so I didn't get as many pictures as I would've liked. The last night we went and took family pics. I'm taking these from my parents camera. My Aunt ReRe also got some great pics that she's going to email me so I'll post those later.



I'm hoping that my aunt has much more of these that are better! I can't wait to see them!

We had so much fun and Kirk and I kept saying how we were not ready to come back. It went by way too fast!!!!

Happy Father's Day!

Dear Daddy,

It's our first Father's Day! I loved hearing your voice when I was in Mommy's tummy and I have loved getting to know you these past 8 months! You have been the best Daddy I could have ever imagined! I can't wait to see what all you have to teach me as I grow up! I love you!


Love, McCoy


And to Pop-I love you very much! Thanks for teaching me to share (and please keep the french fries coming)!

And to Dig-Thanks for making room for all of us! I love you!


All the grandkids!

Happy 8 Months, McCoy!



McCoy is 8 months old today!!! Since I was a little late at our 7 month post, there's not a whole lot to add. The main thing is that he's more fun than ever!!!! He's still so happy and laidback! He has become a bit more of a wiggle worm whenever I'm changing his diaper or getting him dressed but I think it's so funny.

Oh, and I almost forgot.... HE'S GOT TEETH!!! On the Tuesday after Memorial Day, he woke up and was a little fussy, which is kind of strange for him. I noticed that his gums were really swollen and by the end of the day I could see the two white buds on his bottom gums. It's been really hard to get a picture but here's what they look like today...



He's not crawling yet but he's doing a LOT better on his stomach and he'll get up on his knees and then on his hands but never at he same time. I'm assuming someday he'll just get on all fours and take off! For now, mommy and daddy are enjoying this time before we have to start chasing him all over the place!!

We're having such a great summer and McCoy loves being outside. We're trying to spend as much time outdoors as possible with LOTS of sunscreen on!
He loves his indoor/outdoor pool....




Playing with his cousins...

Going to the zoo...

Trying to get a group pic!
And being tickled!!!! (Notice how good he is a letting me know when he's sick of it!)





His laugh is Kirk and I's favorite sound ever!!! It's so contagious and we could listen to him laugh all day long.

We're loving life with him and the only thing that could make it better is if time would slow down!! It's going way too fast!!!
Happy 8 months, sweet boy! We love you!

Noisy Snacker

McCoy loves eating fruit in his fresh food feeder. Lately we've been having a lot of pineapple! He LOVES it!

Here's some video of him last week. I think it's so funny when he makes his noises to show how good it is!
