Seagulls

Makayla loved the seagulls. I don't know what it was about them, but once she saw Shae chase after them, she needed to get in on that action. See for yourself. I did try to get the movie in here, but I didn't know how. So please, click the link.

Beach Bum

As you may or may not know, Makayla had her first trip to the beach almost a week ago. I was so worried about how it would go over, but as these pictures show, she just loved it!

She even took a nap in her tent (once we figured out how to use it)

She's not scared...

Of course Shae was there, with "her" Gregory.

Glad of course it worked out, we got invited to go to OCMD with her Godmother the last weekend in August, then the BIG family trip. Get ready...we have a beach lover in our hands!

The Continued Adventures of My Little Mermaid

Memorial Day came and it was a Hot! Hot like 100 degrees hot. So, taking Makayla outside was for limited time. So, I wanted to see how Makayla would do in the pool after the previous 2 days. From these pictures tell me what you think. I cannot take credit for the pictures, my mom took them.




Happy Belated Memorial Day! Here is to one weekend of swimming adventures, and hopefully many many more!

Little Mermaid

I have to admit. I was worried, scared actually that my daughter would not like the water. I was petrified that she wouldn't want anything to do with it. I mean she loves to take a bath, but let's be real here. The bathtub is nothing like a swimming pool. We started off slow. On Saturday, we only dipped her toes in...

Then on Sunday, we put her in her own little "pool" to see how she would like it.




As you can see, she loved it. So, the next step was taking the boat into the pool.


Then, she was brave, and although she clung to me, I think she enjoyed getting her toes wet.
Stayed tuned to see how our Memorial Day swimming adventures went.

It's Friday!

The weather lately has been beautiful! Absolutely beautiful! I love the summer. It means Makayla and I get out more, which, is good for my sanity. She loves being outside. Today, I took advantage of her being tired and walked for almost 2 hours. Micki and Archie walked with us, and it was nice. It kept me moving!
And while it may look like she is disinterested, she is sleeping. She fell asleep 10 minutes into the walk and lasted almost the entire walk. When she woke up she was happy!
It is not surprising that she woke up happy, she generally is, she just woke up and started chatting and I couldn't help but laugh.
Happy Friday...enjoy your holiday weekend! Stay tuned, this weekend will be Makayla's first time in a pool!

Makayla and the swing

We took a break from our walk today, and stopped by the playground by our house. Here is Makayla's experience withe the swing!
