Thanksgiving Vacation

We returned yesterday from our Thanksgiving vacation in North Carolina. It was a trip full of many "firsts" for Kevin. Most notably, his first plane ride, first visit with good friends, first time in a swimming pool, and first trip to the beach. We started the trip last Friday and stayed with our friends in Raleigh. They were so wonderful to us and let us borrow a load of baby gear for the week. Kevin met Lily and they had a fun time playing with all of her toys. Saturday morning we drove to Sunset Beach and stayed there the remainder of the week. Grandpop, Uncle Brian & Dad enjoyed a lot of golf while me and Grandmom spent loads of time with Kevy. He was such a good baby, even behaving while Grandmom and I strolled nic-nac shops & went out for lunch.

This Thanksgiving we recognize that we have a lot to be thankful for. We hope you all had a wonderful holiday.

Happy Veteran's Day

Uncle Joe had fun feeding Kevin yesterday. Lucky for me, Kevin loves to eat his veggies.

Today, he was all smiles while eating his peas! Oh yes, I also have to mention that he usually sneezes while eating the green veggies. So gross - peas fly everywhere! I suppose I should get used to it!


It's great to spend the day with Kevin today :) It's 60 degress today, so we are off to the park to meet our friends....

7 months old

(Kevin is clapping for the camera)

Kevin is 7 months old today! It is such a joy to watch his personality develop. We are so lucky, he is such a happy kid. Kevin's teacher's at school have a contest each morning - who can get Kevin to laugh first. It's not too hard. This month Kevin learned to sit up and to clap. He laughs so hard when he claps, it make us laugh too.

ps - we are NOT fans of the end to day light savings. Kevin was very, very confused this morning. Our plan to keep Kevin awake late last night backfired, he still woke up early.

Too cute to resist

I had to share a few more Halloween shots from our weekend...

Halloween Fun

Yesterday we went to visit Grandmom & Grandpop so Kevin could test out his costume. Kevin was a pea-in-the-pod. You will notice he is a little too big for his pod, that's why I cute holes for his feet to make it more comfy.

Today we had a Halloween Party with all the babies from the Mom's Group. The babies had no idea what was happening, but the parents sure took a ton of photos!


Then, once we got home, Kevin was still so excited for Halloween :)

This is not a costume...

..it's his new winter coat. Thanks Grandmom for Kevin's warm winter coat!
It's a little too big, maybe it will last the long winter season, and still fit him by April. (Remember, it was snowing the day Kevin was born).

Halloween photos to come!

Kevin laughs so hard each night before his bath :)
