The Zoo Times Two

Kyle had a busy social calender this week that included two trips to the zoo. On Monday we went to the zoo with Stephanie and Abby.


Kyle and Abby got to feed giraffes. (Well really their mommies did while being held). It was so cool. Here we are feeding Angel.



On Tuesday Kyle and I went to the zoo with Carolyn and Yoni. Kyle was just not having a good day and it was soon discovered that he was having an allergic reaction to his amoxicillin. I realized this after he had a second screaming fit and had hives on his face and arms. Poor baby!

After a quick call to the doctor and getting some benadryll from Carolyn (she is a very prepared mommy). We were off to have a better day.




Kyle is showing more of a reaction to the animals. He will look very carefully at them and sometimes point.

Spending the day at the zoo has been such a fun thing for Kyle and I to do this summer. I am sure we will be taking several more trips before our membership expires.

Bethany Beach - The Sand Journey

We just got back from a great vacation in Bethany Beach. We had great weather and fabulous time with all the family.

If you remember from previous posts Kyle does not like the sand. So we started out the week crying whenever he was on the beach.



Then we picked up a chair that was just Kyle's size. It was a perfect way for him to be comfortable on the beach and not have his feet touch the sand. We also got him a baby pool that allowed him to play in the water with his beach toys.


After a few days he would sit in the sand by his chair and play in the sand. Still not standing or walking.
Then on the last day he stood up and starting walking and crawling all over the beach. He was so proud of himself! And mommy and daddy were so proud of him too!




We hope that he remembers this accomplishment when we head back down to the beach in a few weeks.

Phone Time

I thought we would have to limit phone usage when he got a little older. We may have to start early.






He has not started texting yet.....

Dobbins Island Yacht Club

The Palletts and the Bernings met at Dobbins Island over the weekend.











We have heard that you are not to trespass on the island. But we never saw anything posted telling us to stay off.















Kyle seemed to tolerate this boat trip more than his first. Once the boats were anchored and it was time to swim and play on the beach without his life vest he was a much happier little guy. He is still not sure about the sand. When he was on the beach he would only move his upper body. I don't think he knows he can walk in the sand yet. He had fun collecting rocks and shells and putting them in his cups.


As soon as it was time to leave Kyle was asleep. Too much fun in the sun!







It was a great time and I am sure we will be meeting up again many times over the summer.

Doggie Paddle

Today we walked to the beach in our neighborhood. Cole loves to run on the beach and play fetch in the water. He just LOVES to swim and it gets a bunch of energy out of him. This was the first time Kyle has stood or walked in sand at a beach. He cried and did not like it when the water would come up and get his toes wet. After a few minutes and being allowed to hold Mommies sunglasses he did feel a little better. He definitely does not like it as much as the pool, but I think after a few trips he will soon be a beach bum!

Just My Size

Kyle has a chair that is just his size. He loves to sit in it. He does not know yet how to get into the chair. He walks over to the chair, pats the seat and lifts his arms up and sorta says "up."

Here are his favorite times to sit in the chair.

After mommy finally gets him all sun screened up before going to the pool. He needs a break after that.





After his nap.
He likes to sit in his chair with his sippy cup and his snack cup. He will sit here for over a half hour some afternoons. (amazing!!!)


When he just wants to relax in the evenings before getting his bottle.

Wedding Bells

My little sister got married on May 16th!

She was an absolutely BEAUTIFUL bride.


I loved the colors of the wedding.
The wedding was outside and weather was perfect. Everyone was so beautiful and handsome. It was a beautiful day.



Of course the children in the wedding were SO cute! To much surprise they performed their wedding duties perfectly!


Kyle wanted to get out and dance with everyone!



I love you sis! I am so happy for you and your new husband!
