Cleaning up the cob webs. We all do our part here at the beach house.

ABC's with a view

This is how Leah"'helps" Dave sweep up!

First Beach

Baby Kate.

We found out about a week before we left for the Island.... It's a girl!!!! Wow Dave is going to be stuck with a house full of girls. I know he will do great. Also, as with Leah, Dave and I have both really liked the name Kate since about a week after we found out I was pregnant. We never have found a boy name we both like so there you go! I think I am  19 weeks now? Time flies! She will be half way here before we get back from our trip. The movements are getting much stronger, not only kicks and punches but I can really feel her stretching out in there already. Fun! Leah calls her Baby Kate now, cute! I will get a beach belly shot while I am here to add to this post!

Swimming

Leah is starting to get frustrated that we have to hold her while she is in the ocean. The mother in me can just see the water swallowing her up. I can't help it. It happens you know. Anyway, we are negotiating how much to let go right now. My stand is NEVER! Okay, maybe where it is only up to her knees.

Toes.

Our best vacation EVER!

Here are a few shots so far. Many more to come I am sure.
Leah had a hard time adjusting at first but is doing GREAT now. She kept asking to go home for the first few days and was super cranky at times. I think she just needed to eat, sleep and poop but would not do any of it! Now that she has settled in, she is really enjoying herself. She has loved the beach from day one though, as you can see! And her favorite things to do here? Well go lizard hunting of course. And be completely naked in the sand and ocean! She also enjoys opening every cupboard in the house and saying either " Gretchen's stuff" or " Kif's stuff" followed by "don't touch!" So cute. "Driving" the golf cart is also super fun! Only one week left, so sad how fast time goes.
