First ills and a Booster for Baby and Me!


So I have really started weaning Easton the past few weeks. With our upcoming trip to BVI and the shear fact that he's almost 6 months made it an easy decision. Like with Savannah I knew once I started weaning he'd get sick. Sure enough this week he came down with his first cold. I actually took him to get his first immunizations on Tuesday as well...poor guy was coming down with a cold and I didn't know it. So he's been pretty sickly the past few days. Not sleeping well then sleeping all day, and hardly eating. He doesn't seem to know what will make him happy. I feel bad for the little nugget, I want my smiley boy back! I also am having a very hard time getting him to eat baby food. Weird huh? Savannah loved it, he hates it. It usually makes him gag and throw up. So far we've tried apples and bananas. He's not a fan...Everything I've read says to keep at it and eventually he'll get used to it. That is yet to be seen folks...He's a whopping 19lbs now and the cutest thing ever. You can always get him to smile or keep him entertained if you ask his big sister to help. He loves to be outside, take walks, chews on anything and everything, and has the softest blonde hair. I just love him to pieces.

And my sister Christina is an awesome Mommy blogger. She's on my "fave blogs" on the right if you haven't read her blog. She gets to review all kinds of products and this month they sent her a booster seat with an attachable booster for a little baby. Seeing as she has 3 boys she sent it to me to review. Savannah loved it as you can see in the pictures below. We've fed her baby "sixty" (I have no idea where this name came from) lots of fun things. Including mashed up goldfish which were a delight to clean up, HA!

Kiawah Island Trip Part Deux

Oh my goodness...so I said it couldn't get better. I was so wrong! The weather turned even more beautiful and we discovered such cool seal life! I've never seen a horseshoe crab...wow was that neat. We rescued over a hundred starfish that had washed up on the shore. We saw a big blue crab, and some crazy flying bugs. Who knew Kiawah was such a nature spot?

We celebrated my birthday at a great Ale house restaurant on the island. The food was amazing, and the kids were so great. Savannah loved singing me Happy Birthday and helping me blow out my candle! I can't remember the last time I shared a birthday with my family. Hunter had fun hiding my presents around the house too. Carla bought me quite possibly the best massage I've ever had. It was 90 minutes of bliss at the Sanctuary. I was in heaven. What a memorable day.

One day we went into Charleston. I loved our tour of the city that we took by horse drawn carriage. It was very informative. The city really has a ton of history. I love the architecture and I'm not going to lie I loved the food. I could eat my way through that city! We ate at Poogan's Porch, HOLY SMOKES. They start you out with these melt in your mouth biscuits with honey butter...need I say more? Best restaurant in Charleston...don't miss it. Oh and ask about the ghost! We stopped at the Confederate museum which was pretty neat and I had to take a confederate aged elevator which was pretty spooky...we made it though.

It truly was a memorable trip. I loved the house we were in and we spent such great quality time together. Thanks for a fantastic birthday everyone! I will never forget it!


I told you she was a great big sis...she LOVES to feed her baby brother. And she doesn't stop until the bottle is empty either

Easton has his toes in the water!

Kiawah Island- South Carolina Beach Trip Part 1

Wow...if you haven't been to Kiawah I HIGHLY recommend it. What a gorgeous place. The home our family rented is beyond amazing. Luxury doesn't even begin to explain it. To top it off the owners let us use their exclusive beach club which again is fabulous. We can sit at the pool which is right on the beach relax, get some sun, and eat. Its been a dream the past two days. Such a needed vacation! Right now the kids are both taking very long naps and I'm able to upload pics! We've had a great time lounging, walking on the beach, watching the kids swim for hours on end. We took a sunset stroll to the beach last night and it was beautiful! And today Hunter found a crab in the pool! Enjoy the pics from the first few days of our vacay!
