Beach 2009
Here are lots of pictures from our beach trip! We had LOTS of fun!
This is what they kept calling the "ocean". This is the view from our house!
This is me in the empty plastic pool on the porch watching the ocean...it was one of my favorite things to do!
Cousin Avery and me playing in the sand...if you look closely I have sand all over my face from eating it! YUM YUM!
All the water and sand tuckered me out....I fell asleep in mom's lap on the beach!
Happy 4th of July! This was my patriotic shirt that I wore on the 4th!
Daddy and me getting our feet wet!
Grandpa Garth and me on the 4th!

Daddy and me getting ready to go to the ocean for the first time!
Cousin Avery and Cousin Myah playing in the sand...they were much neater than I was!

Eight Months
So I know I have been WAY behind on my letters to Jack these past couple of months. I actually think that I skipped seven months all together so you will have to bear with me. This summer has been CRAZY and actually sitting down at the computer for 20 minutes is practically impossible when you have a wiggly worm for a son! Anyways so here is the 8 month letter-- i know, i know it is two weeks late but better late than never, right?
Dear Jack,
So much has changed since I wrote my last letter-- probably because it has almost been two months. But I know that you will forgive me for missing a month. You are starting to definitely look more like a toddler than an infant these days. I can hardly remember the wrinkly baby that I used to hold in my arms all day. These days you NEVER sit still. You are constantly wiggling, thrashing, standing up, rolling around all day long. It is quite tiring for your mother. It is almost impossible to hold you because you never want to cuddle anymore. You want to be moving and grooving every second of every day. I guess that is just one of those milestones that you go through. You are SO close to crawling. You get on your belly and bring your legs up but you still have not mastered the whole arm thing. You kindof do a reverse army crawl with using your legs to push you all around the place. I am so excited for you to start crawling. I just think that you are going to love it! You are so interested and inquisitive about everything so i know that once you start moving you will have so much fun exploring everything. There is a part of me that gets really sad when I think about you crawling because that means you are definitely not an infant anymore. You will be SO much more independent and you will hardly need me around. That makes me have a twinge of sadness because I would love to keep you little and cuddly forever but obviously that's not happening.
You have started to talk a lot lately. Your favorite thing to say is "DADADADADADA" very very loudly. We don't really know if you are actually associating the DADADA with daddy or if you just enjoy saying those letters over and over and over again. How about a little shout out to the MAMAMAMAMA? I know one day it will come but could we hurry it up just a little?
We went to the beach for the first time this month and you loved it. Well you loved the sand. Eating the sand actually. You didn't really enjoy the water. I think that it scared you because it was pretty rough all week. But everytime I looked away from you, you would shove yet another palm full of sand into that mouth of yours. But you definitely regretted doing that later on when that sand had to come out ( enough on that though, I don't want to embarass you.) You got to play with your two cousins, Myah and Avery, and you had so much fun with them. Since you are the youngest, you just kindof sat there and observed what they were doing. You pretty much had a look of shock on your face whenever you looked at Avery because she pretty much squeals very loudly all the time.
You have started to pull up on things. When I reach my hands out, you pull up on my hands with pretty much no assitance from me. You keep grabbing for the edge of the couch and chairs but you still haven't actually pulled yourself up on those. I know it will come one day soon and I'm sure I will cry. Yet another milestone to check off the list.
Well Jack, you are becoming such a big boy. I am just amazed everytime I look at you. Everytime I have to put clothes away because you are busting out of them I get a little twinge of sadness because my baby is growing up. You are the best thing to ever happen to daddy and me and we love you always!
Love,
Mommy
