5 months - hi ya!

Heeeeeeyyyyyy!!! Five months...that like all the toes on my foot...right? Cooooooool

walking with the Walkers in Williamsburg

So I got to do some more hanging out in Hampton Roads. Guess who I saaawwwww....the Walker Family! Daddy says I have to learn how to play soccer at a young age if I'm gonna keep up with Taylor and Hayden...cuz they're pros already. Don't worry Daddy, I'll catch up with those girls!

It was a really fun time hanging with the Walkers...and I know mommy and daddy had fun too. Glad we got to go walking in Williamsburg...thanks for coming Uncie Brady and Auntie Cortney.

Livy's 1st bday - celebrate!

Happy Birthday Livy! Glad we could be in Hampton Roads to celebrate ...you...with you. And holy cow, I can't wait for my first birthday...you got one crazy haul of stuff!

Thanks for giving me a rid in your wagon before you had to load it with stuff to get it all back to your room. Good thing you got that wagon.

Mommy and I had a great time...Daddy too. It was great just to hang with everybody.

Hey Uncle Will, congratulations on making it through one whole year of parenthood...and congratulations again for making it through one whole day of me today. Glad that short hair drys quickly, cuz I was sure slobbery. Oops! But hey, I was also standing!!!

Standing is nothing man...I've almost got that down pat. I need something a little more challenging...maybe driving is up my alley next. What do you think Dad? Do I get to drive us home?

Ok, I'll take a little help. BUT, once we get out of this parking spot I'm taking over...K. Haha!

hangin with my cuz Avi

Well I went on down to Hampton Roads to meet up with some peeps...like my cuz Avi. Avi sure is a keeper, and I can't wait until we're both able to bounce around on the couch together, but Pa did a good job holding Avi and keeping her entertained while we were both growing into that kind of fun. Nice work Aunt April and Uncle Dave, she's cute!

And since Avi was so well entertained, I took an opportunity to test out Grandmom's new toy she bought for us little kids. It was craaaaazzzzyyyy fun!

And I think Avi had a good time hangin out with Grandmom. Grandmom is good to hang with as far as us kids are concerned...oh yeah...we dig us some Grandmom!

Cheers to quality family time! Cheers to Uncle Dave and Aunt April for giving me a buddy to play with!

camping swings and boating fun

Hey, still camping! BUT, it's not as hot as it was and this whole trip has gotten to be so much fun!

Livy shared your camping swing with me and Mommy and Daddy let me do a bunch of pushes.

Thanks Daddy! That was fun, we could do this all day...but don't you and mommy want to have some fun swinging..

There you go mommy! You and auntie Liz are cruizin! I don't think I'm quite ready for a tube, but it sure does look like fun out there behind the boat.

Haha! Uncle Will and Daddy are having fun too...but something tells me people didn't want them to stay on the tube like mommy and daddy wanted me to stay in my swing while I was using it. Conspiracy??

You think? Yeah, now that have a moment to think about it I may be right. Well I think we had all had a ton of fun regardless. Yeah camping! I hope we can go again sometime soon.

More camping...did I mention we went for a week?

Camping doesn't just end after one day....not on this trip. Nope, the fun...and heat...continue. So Livy caved and decided to share a bath with me. See Livy, it's not gross because we're babies...and it was so much cooler in the tub wasn't it....yeah, see.

Share a share a like. You got to use my tub, and I got to use your toys and blanket. Thanks Livy! But such a generous cousin, rolling out the carpet for your momma, Great Uncle Dick, Susu...and everyone else. Sure glad mommy bought that shade tent...man was it hot.

So hot, we made like Brazilians and decided to take some mid-day naps. That country sure has it right about two things....soccer...and naps. Thanks for keeping me company mom!

But camping isn't for laying around....at least not all the time. Did I mention I learned how to swim? I'm not saying it was pretty, but I made like frogger and kicked my feet to get from point A to point B. Glad I had some help, but I'm sure I could have made it all the way across the lake.

Ok, so maybe it was a good thing to have a spare set of hands...but one day mind you ...one day...I'll be a great swimmer. Daddy said so....maybe like one million times. And, my daddy is always right. (psst, that plugs for you dad, remember that when I start asking for money to swim laps)

Ahhhhh, a swim...and a boat ride...see we didn't just sit around the whole trip...except to pose now and again.

...Right Aunt Liz?! We pose, and then we're ready to rock and roll! Rolling with my homies...lalalala.

Got my hommies and I'm heading out across the lake. Got Grandad on my left, and dinosaur on my right...and nothing but water all around. Sure glad I got that swimming lesson!

Mommy, we had a blast...and see...you didn't even need to worry about me going overboard or anything. Good idea to pick-up that life jacket, but I'm a camping pro! Just like you!

camping, tubbing, um.. both

Well I sure did love camping...but oui was it H-O-T! Thank goodness mommy and daddy decided to bring my bathtub along so I could cool off in the shade with some fresh water. Now I know why they have commercials with people sitting in bathtubs outside, cuz it was real nice time....Soooooo relaxing.

Man, for a while I was just chilling out and watching people....soaking it all in while I was...well, soaking. Livy kept cool in the shade too, real cool chic that cousin of mine...she knows how to play in the shade and have a good time. Stay cool cuz!

And then of course, down time isn't the only thing good about relaxing at the campground. Hey daddy, you're silly fun and I had a great time with you, and Mommy, and Aunt Liz and Uncle Will, and Gan and Great Uncle Dick...and of course Susu and Grandaddy. Camping is fun! ...I love hanging without a shirt on!
