Time Flies...

when you are having fun!!
This past week has flown by! We were super busy and have been all over the south!! We started off the week last Sunday attending the 1st birthday party of LL's boyfriend. I can't believe that he is already a year old! Someone else will be turning a year before we know it!! She LOVED watching him eat his cake (she even got to try a bite) and opening his presents.


On Monday we took our two sons (pictured below)

to the their grandparent's house (my in-laws) and went to the aquarium with LL's boyfriend and his mom. Tuesday night, LL's other grandparents (my parents) came to stay with us. Bright and early Wednesday morning we all packed up


and headed to Charleston for LL's first vacation. We really enjoyed our trip! We ate a TON of good food (LL LOVED being able to sit at the table w/ us in a highchair),

went on some tours (including LL's first ride on a horse and carriage

as well as her first ride on a boat as we went to tour the Fort).





We also did some shopping around town and in the open air market while LL cruised in her stroller,

went swimming at the hotel,


relaxed a little

tried out our new ducky bathtub

and went to a family friend's wedding.


The ceremony was quite long, but LL slept through it and EVERYONE loved her at the reception!
We had a wonderful time and look forward to many vacations to come! (The grandparents are already talking about Disney in a couple of years-oh boy!)

Whew!!

This past week has been BUSY!!! I have had a training all week (which will continue this week as well) and LL has been going daycare and staying longer than usual each day. I have also gone to the state Miss pageant to watch a friend of mine each night, as well as attend my sewing class another night. I am EXHAUSTED!! The Mr. has been such a good dad and taken care of LL while I have been running all over the place and getting home late at night. Today we went up to visit the in-laws and LL was able to get in her first real pool! She LOVED it! Here are some pics as well as her 8month pic.





We have a few new tricks:
-waving bye bye
-clapping
-holding our bottle
-saying dada
Although I don't have all of the items listed above in pics, here are two poor quality (due to the sun) ones of her clapping:
