Cape San Blas Vacation

Here are some pictures for our vacation to Cape San Blas. We had beautiful weather. The ocean was calm and blue, beaches white and fluffy. We set up a tent on the beach and spent each afternoon under it, watching the waves break on the shore. Kris was our "sitting chef". He did not have to get up once to grill our hamburgers & hot dogs on the beach. Jonah had a wonderful time. He was curious about the sand. He didn't eat alot of it. He rubbed alot of it into his eyes so his eyes were very bloodshot by the end of the trip. He really enjoyed the ocean. He would kick he's legs and try to swim. He is definitely a water-bug like his mommy. We enjoyed hanging out with our friends and the week went by slow for us.

Out of town

We are getting ready to go on vacation to Cape San Blas. This will be Jonahs's first trip to the beach. We going with 3 other couples: Pam & Eric, April, Kurt & Grey, and Gloria & Kris.

I'll be sure to take lots of pictures. I cannot wait to have the sand between my toes, the rays on my face & pure relaxation all over.

Good Times!

Here are some pictures  of Jonah enjoying bath time. It's so cute to see him more interactive with his toys & books (and us, of course). He laughs when we read "Brown, Brown Bear". He loves playing with his stacking blocks and jumping in his jumperoo. He is not crawling yet but it's only a matter of days before he starts. Luckily, I bought the baby gate a couple of weeks ago. 

This weekend will be a lonely weekend for me. James left for his "boys camping trip" this morning and Jonah was picked up by grandma this afternoon. He will be spending the night with her tonight & Friday night. I already miss them tremendously. Jonah is such a joy to be around that I have a hard time letting him go. But I know in my heart that other's need to enjoy him as well. That leaves me with -  what am I going to do with my free-time? There will probably be some cleaning the house and laying out by the pool in my future as well as catching up with some of my girlfriends. George (the cat) will be happy because he will finally get some attention from me!

Camping & Father's Day

On June 6th, James, Jonah & I went camping in the Nanahala National Forest with 9 of our friends. Jonah was an amazing camper. He played, napped, hiked, ate in the great outdoors. He had a little trouble sleep at night but he was in good spirits otherwise. For Father's Day, we were really lazy. Jonah & I napped in the bed until 11am. We played in the pool. Then Jonah napped on Daddy for 2 hours. Then we went to grab dinner at the Mad Italian. Low key - the way we like it!

Jonah LOVES kickball!

This is a hilarious video of Jonah playing kickball with Mommy and Daddy... to view the video click here. Be sure to have your volume up so you can here this.

Peek-A-Boo!

We had a very exciting weekend. Jonah & Mommy went to Grandma Mary's house to hang out with her while James was out of town. Friday night, Jonah got to be silly with his cousin's, Emily & Ellie. Apparently, they were making him giggle when they rolled a soccer ball towards him. Emily help with giving Jonah a bath. She's such a good helper. Saturday, Jonah hung out with Grandma Mary while Mommy do some stuff around Grandma's house. It's so wonderful to see him interact with people these days. He's so aware, alert and ready to play. The rest of Saturday we spent with Daddy since Daddy hadn't seen Jonah since Friday morning. And Sunday we all went to lunch at a Hawaiian BBQ place off of Briarcliff Rd. Then we went to Target & Sport Authority to look for a rocking, fold-up chair for camping this weekend. Luckily, we found a nice one on clearance and a few other items too! 

This series of pictures is of Jonah's peek-a-boo game with Daddy. He was just so smily and having such a good time that he passed out later that day.
