VACA



M.J. and I went on a VACA with my side of the family to St. John USVI the last week of July!  We had so much fun but really missed L.  He had to stay behind and work :( but if they win the competition this week we will all go on a cruise sometime soon. So that will make up for him missing this trip!  But here are some pictures of our trip.  We stayed in this gorgeous house a short walk for the beach and enjoyed lots of fun at the beach!



One of the many lizards we saw! There are lizards everywhere there!

Playing in the Ocean with Grandma M



It was so fun to play in the ocean with M.J.  He loves the water but couldn't understand why it was so salty haha.  But he had so much fun, he didn't love playing in the sand as much as I thought, but thats okay!

My baby is almost not a baby anymore....

M.J. is 11 months old today, and he is acting more and more like a toddler everyday.  He is walking around like crazy, I think that is the biggest change.  He took his first steps on July 12 and sense then he just is getting better and better.  He hates wearing shoes though so I only try to let him walk around at home, which can get hard because now he wants to walk everywhere! I guess I need to find some shoes that he will wear so he can walk around more haha.  He also has the cutest personality he loves to laugh and play and is such a happy boy.  He has never really gotten that stranger danger thing yet, so he goes to most people easily.  He also loves playing peek a boo, and will play it with anyone who is willing.  Especially if it involves closing the door, because he loves opening doors haha.  Some other highlights of this month have been:


  • he learned to point with his index finger, he loves pointing at random stuff
  • he started saying na-na
  • he can high five
  • he played in the ocean for the first time
  • doesn't really like being dirty
  • hates sleeping still every time it is a fight
  • loves Greek yogurt
  • has 4 teeth on the bottom and two on the top
  • loves bitting everything and everyone.... not a good thing
  • loves being on tables 
  • loves fruit snacks
  • hates being confined in strollers, or car seats
  • loves yelling and throwing things (total boy)
  • wearing 18 month size clothing
  • loves playing with his belly button
  • Can climb up and down stairs and he loves walking up stairs holding someones hand

He is just such a cute boy and I am so grateful for him.  He has been such an easy baby and we just love him so much!  Here are some pictures of him!
