Happy Birthday Will!

Belle sweet little friend Will turned three this past week and have everyone over for a fun "car" party and swim. Of course, our water baby loved swimming in their fabulous pool!  Belle even sat on Ms. Jennifer's lap while Will opened his presents, I think she was just at home!  Will loved his new "Cars" play dough kit, thanks for the great tip Amy!

Hilton Head

We enjoyed our second annual beach week at Sea Pines located at Hilton Head Island with the Mcgalliards.  We enjoyed fabulous time on the beach, wonderful food, tons of laughs and best of all memories that will always be remembered.  The girls have grown so much since our last visit:)  The newest addition to the annual beach week was little Eva (The McGalliards' second daughter at only 8 weeks)!  She is so precious and we loved every minute of her!!!

Our little beach baby couldn't get enough of the water or the beach!  Everyday including since we have been home the first thing out of her mouth is "I want to go to the water" or back to the beach! She also took some dance lessons from her bestie Elsa. 

We couldn't have asked for a better week!  Thanks to the McGalliards for another great trip!

Visit with Granny B

On our way down to our fabulous trip to Hilton Head with our awesome friends the Mcgalliards, we stopped by Granny B's for lunch, even though we were super late and only found our way thanks to Bri's parents!  It was a great visit and we were so glad that we stopped by!  Belle was able to feed the fish in the pond, sit with Granny and enjoy lunch.  It was great to get some stretch time out of the car!

Belle LOVED playing with her great-granny!

Sparklers

Once we got home on the 4th we did our own little sparkler show with Belle...she was a little scared but thought they were pretty!  Since Belle still goes to bed early we didn't get to enjoy a full fireworks show, but maybe next year!  We were able to catch some glimpses of the our town's show from our neighborhood which made it feel like the 4th!

Happy 4th of July

We headed over to Bri's parents to celebrate the 4th this year!  All the cousins had a blast swimming and playing.  Belle especially loved showing baby Gabriel the ropes, they were too cute together!  Thanks Ledbetter/Kigers for a great time!

Belle dressing herself

I did what I said I never would do, well there is a lot of things I said I would NEVER do before coming a Mother, but this rates up there as one of the top, not letting my child wear cartoon character clothing...lol...silly I know.  Well I broke down and Belle is in seventh heaven with her "dora" (not even sure how she knows who she is:)), princess and elmo jammies and ONE elmo regular shirt.

Here she is dressing herself in one of her beloved outfits....still needs some work figuring out pants, you think?
