It's been a big two weeks. We spent some time in Orlando, Savannah, and Charleston and had a wonderful time! It was a great time to relax and unwind. Sweet baby L had a rough time sleeping just because we were keeping her out late or being out over her naps. She's just to the age where she is no longer interested in napping in her stroller. She wants to see everything!
She had quite a few things too look at too. L had her first experience with a swimming pool, her first trip to the beach, her first family vacation, her first carriage ride, her first time on a boat, and I'm sure that there are tons more!
It does seem like a lot has changed in the last couple of weeks. Sweet baby L is really growing! She's getting very "grabby" trying to get whatever she sees that she wants. She's also started creeping a little bit. She'll see something she wants and when her outstretched arms and reaching won't get it for her, she'll get up on her forearms and toes (lifting her entire body off of the ground) and push off causing her body to scoot forward. She can't get anywhere very fast, but she can get there eventually.
Sweet baby L has also FINALLY cut a tooth. I swear that we've been teething for something like three months!! You can't really see the tooth but when you feel her gums, you can feel that sharp little sucker in there. I can't imagine how that cute little grin is going to change over the next few weeks. I can't wait to see that adorable little two tooth grin.
Sorry for the short post. We're having a crazy day around here. Poor L has had some, uh, digestive issues today. As in, up her entire back to the tag of her onesie digestive issues. I gave her a different brand of yogurt than her normal brand this morning and it had a few different cultures. I think one of them must have completely run right through her. I'm hoping that she's doing better now. It was one of those down and dirty mom days with laundry and an emergency bath. Brad nearly threw up when he smelled it after she had another round when he got home. For some reason that made me feel like a super mom. I can take care of the poo, clean it up and still have time for cuddles! Woohoo!
Here are some photos from our vacation. Enjoy!
Mama's new haircut!
Looking out the window at her new shade. After an hour or so of driving in the sun we had to stop and get a shade for her poor face!
A happy girl in the first of many days in her stroller. By the end of our trip she was so tired of that stroller!
Happy St. Patrick's Day! This was actually the day before St. Patrick's, but in Savannah it's a big holiday. She didn't care much for wearing that hat, but it was sure cute!
Table tasting in Orlando. It's so bad, but it's pretty adorable. I keep joking that sweet baby L is going to think that vacation is just visiting a string of restaurants.
A girl has to try on some Mickey ears in Orlando!
She really enjoyed watching those spinning lights!

People watching at a restaurant. She was very drawn in by our waiter.
Sweet baby L had her first swim at the hotel in Orlando. I love a baby in a swimsuit.

Okay, I'm just proud of that shot.

Enjoying her boat ride.
It's hard to believe that she'll be 7 months old tomorrow! You know what that means... BUNNY PHOTO TIME! See you next week!
