Another Trip to Wall Beach

Eric and I have decided to start making a more conscious effort of getting to the beach when we have free time.  Besides the extra laundry and sand in our car, we never regret going and the kids absolutely love it.  It won't be forever that we'll have the beach 15 minutes from our house. 
We had a few hours last Saturday in between Lillie's dance class and a baptism that I spoke at, and so we decided to head to Wall beach to do some exploring.  The kids had fun finding cool shells, parts of crabs, sticks and rocks.  The weather was absolutely perfect.  75 degrees and no wind.  That is pretty much unheard of at beaches on the central coast and meant that Ian was also able to enjoy his time there.
I knew my camera's battery was low before we left, but I took it anyway and was able to get a few shots in before it died.  I am not in any of the pictures, but trust me, I was there.  Lillie made us a picnic lunch to enjoy while we were out.  She is becoming such a wonderful helper, love her!
Anyway, we had a wonderful time, the kids did not want to leave and neither did I.  Until next time!

4 MONTHS!!!


I took this picture of Ian tonight.  I think he is soo handsome!  And this is what he looks like almost all the time, sucking on his hand and chilling in someone's lap.  He is four months old!  There is nothing better than sweet happy moments with this little guy.  We are all crazy about him:
*Ian always has his hands in his mouth.
*He loves to squeal and blow raspberries.
*Ian has started to intentionally grab things: rattles, my necklace, etc.
*His hair is growing in just down the middle on the top.  It looks like he has a mohawk.
*He is a chubby checkers: Weight: 16 lbs 15 oz  85%  Height: 26.7 in  96%  Head: 80%
*Ian's nick names include: E.B., Little Chubby, and Nugget.  I call him Nugget more than I should...
*He does not like tummy time or the bumbo much.
*He is sleeping through the night, every night.  Which is wonderful!!
*His eyes light up when his bro and sis give him attention.
*He is still a crazy spit up machine
