I know, I know...you are probably wondering what in the world happened to us. You may haven even forgotten about this little blog. Well, to be perfectly honest, so did I. I guess that is just what happens when you have a full time job and a little girl with more energy than a Mexican jumping bean. The truth is that most of the time when Im writing on here it is either the middle of the night or a rare nap time. Those times are becoming harder and harder to come by now that Alexis is fully mobile. I am happy to report to you that we are better than ever and enjoying our summer. Alexis has mastered so much in these past couple of months. She now says "Momma AND "Da Da," in her husky little voice, swims in her pool and walks holding onto just about anything she can reach. My, how the time has flown. We even got to share a very special week in the Outer Banks with my parents and grandparents. Alexis was not one bit afraid of the big ocean. I guess I shouldn't be surprised considering I have yet to find ANYTHING she is afraid of. She had a ball swimming in the pool and got spoiled rotten by all of her relatives. I will admit that taking a baby to the beach is a very exhausting task. Not only do you have to remember all of the normal baby necessities, but now you must add floaties, towels, swim diapers and pool snacks. And this time if you forget something you have to hike through sand to get it. Oh, and there is always that looming threat of a sunburn on that precious little baby skin. I felt like all I did was apply and reapply baby sunblock while trying to keep her from yanking her sunhat off of her head. Seriously, though if you are considering taking your baby to the beach, take my advice...make tons of lists, stock up on water baby sunblock and GO because it is so worth it!! There isn't a better place in the world to have fun and make memories. <3 <3
