The Beach Post

Warning: Picture overload (and no...these are not the only pictures I took).

This past week, we went on our annual vacation to Destin, Florida. We've been going for several years but this year, there was one big difference...

We made the decision because we didn't want a screaming baby all the way to Florida because we are super rebels, to turn C-Bizzle around 2 weeks before his 1st birthday so that he could enjoy the scenery as we drove.

Once we were there. He was ready for the beach. Can't you tell?
Daddy introduced him to the water, but it turns out, he didn't need much convincing to get right in.
He was a perfect sport and napped on the beach in his cheapo kiddie pool waterbed every day.

He was definitely able to find trouble down there as well.

Bad little thing.
Haha. Yes...I went to get my camera before helping my son up after he fell. Mom of the year.
C was a beach natural, despite his condition. Who says the fair-complected can't enjoy a little fun in the sun? That's why God created 100 spf sunscreen. Seriously.

He really liked loved the sand.

He loved it all.
He even got the chance to chase after an older woman. Look at those cute little beach bums!
I should have known he would not be afraid of the water.
No fear.

No need to alert the authorities. Billbo was standing right there as I took pictures of our fearless child.

I posted this blurry pic in hopes that Billbo will get me a new camera for my birthday because C-Bizzle looks so cute when he's blurry.

For those of you who are worried that I am becoming a sentimental schmuck who only posts baby pictures on my this blog, stay tuned for tomorrow's post: Top Ten Beach Peeves.

While I was Out

As all of my multitudes of faithful readers know, I went to Destin, Florida this past weekend with my mom and my sister. My mom won a $1,000 shopping spree at one of the outlet malls down there and Billbo's family has a condo we mooched borrowed, so we left the kiddos and headed south to the beach!

It was a little foggy, but we vampires don't need much sun anyway. We saw lots of wildlife--mainly the millions of cows we saw in southern Alabama on the way back home--but also lots of dolphins! If you look closely, you can see a couple in the pictures below, but there were actually 5-7 of them in the shallow water just seconds before I was able to get my camera out!

The kiddos got lots of cute clothes from the shopping spree, including SUPER cute coordinating (not matching) Easter outfits. Our kids are WAY cooler than we are.

I missed my little C-Money like crazy, but he and Daddy-O made it through the weekend with the help of babysitters without me. Just kidding...B did a great job.

C rudely grew about a foot and got four new teeth while I was away. Okay...the growth part is an exaggeration, but the teeth part is not. Seriously. Four new teeth. I was hurt shocked devastated surprised that he changed so much while I was away!

Some things have not changed, though.

He still loves danger, and now that he is crawling all over the place, he can get into even more of it!

Pulling up on the outlet seems safe...
There, got it out. (Note: I was right next to him, so please refrain from calling DCS).

Mommy's little rebel.

Oh good...he's pulling up, too, and reaching for Daddy's computer.

And chewing on EVERYTHING to help push those teeth through.

It's good to be home. I can't wait to take C-Money and Billbo to the beach this summer! It will be so much fun with my two favorite men!

Yesterday, I headed back to the real world...gross. I went to a CLE (continuing legal education class) and ended up there alone after my co-workers backed out. I guess my mom's good luck rubbed off on me, though, because they drew names at the end of the class to determine the winner of a new iPad 2 and they drew my name! I won an iPad 2!! WINNING. Monday 100000000, Holly 1. Take that, Monday.

My Life as a Vampire

Friday, C-Note and I had the day to ourselves, so we decided to spend the gorgeous day at the baseball park before we left to go see my grandfather, Daddy Judge. That way, Billbo would get to spend a little time with us because he wasn't able to go to DJ's house.

I got all of the necessities together to head to the park, food, chairs, diapers butt-tons of sunscreen.

Unfortunately, I am actually a vampire, and am unable to go in the sun without wearing a burka

a ridiculous amount of sunscreen.

As you have all seen, C$ has inherited my albino condition fair skin. I see a LOT of SPF in our future.

Learn to love it, buddy.

Welcome to the coven.
