Beach Bound

Since the weather was so nice, we couldn't resist another beach visit this weekend! Especially since we knew Jan had to go back to TN and face who-knows-what kind of weather....it's been rough up there this winter! A fun time was had by all, except for when Bo wouldn't let Hampton go diving face-first into the cold water. It's so bad that Hampton has such a mean Daddy, huh? Don't feel bad too for him....as soon as Hamp headed back to his sand pail, all was well again in his world!

Park Pics

Like we mentioned yesterday, after we went to the Seafood Festival, we headed to the park since it was so close by and we knew Hampton would have fun. We were right...he loved having his Grandpa and Daddy chase him around and play with him on the swings!

Saturday

Well, the day we had been looking forward to finally arrived. We finally felt good enough to get out and enjoy the weather! Saturday morning, we needed to do our weekly Publix run, especially since the sale this week was amazing. While we were out, we decided to head down to the beach, even though we weren't exactly dressed for a beach visit. We made do, though, and just rolled Hamp's britches and sleeves up and let him go at it! We enjoyed our quick visit and headed home to meet Grandpa & Grannie, who was making her first trip to see Hampton in a month. We had lunch with them and once Hampton woke up from his nap, we headed to the annual Seafood Festival so the grandparents could check out the antique cars. After a park visit (more on that tomorrow), we finished up our afternoon with yummy blizzard treats. It was our first day back out and about, and it was a great one!

Where else but Publix can you get all of this for less than $23?

Climbing on top of things is Hampton's newest "skill". Unfortunately we were too busy trying to get him down to snap a photo of him dancing on top of his play table!

Sick and Tired

Well, this last week has been an adventure, to say the least! Last week, Tanner pulled a muscle in her back. Since that meant no picking up a 1-year-old, we had to call in the in-law reinforcements. We were happy to have the help, but it didn't help Tanner's back that she then came down with a sinus infection. Luckily, by Saturday, she was feeling better.

Not to be outdone, though, Bo got sick on Saturday night! We don't know what he picked up, but by Sunday night, Tanner was sick and Hamp had it by Monday. Needless to say, the Valentine's Day plans were cancelled as we all sniffled and coughed around the house. Bo was finally able to go back to work yesterday, but Tanner and Hamp are still under the weather. We are really hoping to all be better soon, especially since the weather is beautiful and we want to get out and enjoy it in case it doesn't stick around!

Hampton's Valentine's Day gift is the combination of his 2 favorite things....music and Elmo. Let's just say that E-L-M-O to the tune of YMCA really gets stuck in your head!

Even though we didn't get out of the house, at least we got a picture of Hampton in his cute outfit!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day! We hope everyone has a great one. Don't worry, Grandparents, Aunts, and Uncles......your Valentine's Day picture is late, but will be heading your way shortly!

Since Hampton is now 15-months old (!!!), we had our scheduled well-baby visit. He's growing like a weed....weighing 27.9 lbs and measuring 32.5 inches. He's in the high 80s percentile-wise, which our Dr. thinks is healthy and perfect.......which meant the Doc wasn't too worried about Hampton's lack of an appetite!
