Born to Vacation!

We just got back from our first official family vacation to Hilton Head, South Carolina! All in all it was a very successful trip. Chris and I alternated driving. We each took on about 4 hours each day, for a total of 16 hours each way, getting us there and back in no time. Although the weather forecast predicted some serious t-storms daily, we really couldn't have asked for better weather: 80s and sunshine is right up my ally! Sprinkles of rain came here and there, which actually helped fight off that August heat South Carolina is known for. During our stay, we did a little golfing, ice cream eating, swimming, sight seeing, bike riding, and relaxing. Check it out!

Thanks for Stopping By!

Our Typical Daily Adventures ...

A day in the life of Kyle typically involves multiple outfit changes, a little tummy time, and a whole lot of smiling!

To Grandmother's House We Go!

Last Thursday I had my 6 week doctor's appointment, so Kyle got to spend the morning with Grandma P. Since the hospital is so close to their house, I was able to pop in, pop out, and head back to hang out with the two of them all afternoon. Kyle bounced around in his vibrating chair, enjoyed a little tummy time, cozied up with BJ (Big Jerry ... the friendly Giraffe that lives with Grandma), and took a long nap next to Mommy since both of us had been up late the night before due to the awfully loud storm we had knocking on our bedroom windows. Uncle Kevin showed up after work, and the four of us took a healthy stroll to the new playground that went up by Franklin school. The park is so fun! It even has fancy, bouncy flooring!

New Friends. New Game.

On July 21st we stopped by Southport to visit our friends, Kevin and Katie. They invited people over to their place in honor of the "Summer on Southport" festival that was literally taking place right outside their front door. It was such a nice night. Hot, but nice. We hung out on their rooftop deck and listened to the bands play. Kyle enjoyed spending time with all of his new friends. It was so cute. Every time Kyle's pacifier fell out of his mouth, Augie, Ellie, and Elin were all there racing to be the first one to shove it back in his mouth. How creative. It looked like such a fun game, and Kyle was definitely glad to be a part of it! ;)
