Kennedy's Baptism

On Saturday, we attended Kennedy's baptism and party. As always, we had a fantastic time.

Saturday Morning at the Beach

This morning, mommy and daddy took me to the beach! It's definitely one of my favorite places to be. I love the way the sand feels in my bathing suit (just kidding).

TGIF in OV

On Friday nights, our little beach community has TGIF parties with live music at the park on the bay. I confess that this is the first time my parents have been. BUT, it was a beautiful night so we decided to enjoy some music after dinner.

I had a GREAT time socializing with all of the people. In fact, my daddy could hardly keep up with me. Oh yeah, did I tell you that I love to dance?

Here are some pictures of our evening.

Happy 14 Months

Wow! You're getting to be such a big girl!

A few things that we've noticed about you this past month:

• recognize people (in pictures and in person) and point to them when asked,
• know who "CC" is when asked and points to self,
• point to items (e.g. animals) when reading books,
• identify parts of your body,
• knows what a pirate says and can make the sound (daddy taught her this one),
• say mama and dada regularly and use them appropriately,
• say papa and point to his picture,
• understand when someone asks you to do something (e.g. pick up the book, close the door),
• loves to socialize...the more people, the better (not sure where you get this) :-),
• can give a "high-five," and
• loves the beach (or outdoors, in general).

I'm sure there are more so I'll consult with your dada to see what he remembers.

Pictures coming tomorrow when I download them from the camera!

We love you, CC!!

Sunday at the Beach

On Sunday, we spent the afternoon at the beach. Afterwards, we went to Mr. Lamar and Ms. Jen's house for some good food! They just moved to our neighborhood so I have some new friends to play with, Grace and Walter.

Updated Family Pictures

Today we had our family pictures taken. Actually, the pictures were for CC's 1st birthday. Okay, so we're 2 months behind. What can I say? We've been really busy around here.

Anyways, CC loves the camera and had a great time posing for her pictures today! Thank you Aunt Chris for coming to my house at the last minute and giving me a haircut; mommy is a slacker!!

Enjoy!!

Random Pics of a Sweet and Crazy Girl

I love this hat!

My new thing is to try to put everything on as if they were pants. Don't ask what the blue "thing" is.

My serious face!

Happy Birthday, Auntie Anne!

Wild Girl

I love to wear my mommy's hats.

Playing at the Park

While waiting for daddy and Grandpa to get to the locks, mommy and I played at the park.

Naptime on the Couch

I fell asleep on the couch Sunday morning so mommy let me sleep there. Yes, she stayed by me the entire 1:45 I was asleep.

Anniversary Dinner

Daddy surprised mommy with dinner at Ruth's Chris on Saturday night. Grandpa was in town so I got to hang out with him. Thanks, Grandpa.

Grandpa and Daddy

Grandpa has been sailing his boat from MI since early June. He needed a little help getting it from Atlantic City to our house via the Atlantic Ocean. They left Atlantic City early Thursday morning and made it here Friday afternoon. On Saturday, daddy rode with Grandpa through the Intracoastal to help him get through some locks.

Bathtime with CC

As you all know, I love bath time. Here are a couple of pictures that mommy took.

I love my daddy!

Happy Anniversary!

Where have the years gone? I love you, Nutz!
