Fort Lauderdale Beach This beach reminded me alot of Waikiki, it actually was quite nice compared to the other beaches we have gone to in the past. There was actually a tide that went in and out ane the bottom of the ocean was sandy not seaweedy.
I thought this was so cute, his little plumbers butt...just like that man who visited our utah apartment...

Sol took a nap after a quick dip in the ocean, he was so tired on the way over but refused to take a nap. As soon as we arrived at the beach the bright sun and ocean breeze put him right to sleep. I was afraid he might get burned lying out in the sun and there was no shade to be found so I covered him up with my clothes and his little beach hat.

Sol loved the ocean, he was mesmorized by the waves and shells beneath us. I was so proud of how brave he was, he is going to be my little surfer just like his daddy.





As a family we always look forward to Sundays. Its Seth's only day off so we try to take advantage of it as much as possible. This Sunday we all went to Key Largo, it is about an hour and a half drive from miami. It wasnt exactly what we expected but I think that is because we compare everything to Hawaii. There wasnt much of a beach but it was fun to just be together as a family.








A Day at the Beach...kinda
So we finally made it to the beach here in Florida. It is a bit different than Hawaii but it was still fun. This beach we went to was more like a lake, it was part of the ocean that had been surronded by rocks to make a man made lagoon. It was kind of like turle bay but instead of the bay opening out to the ocean, it has rocks seperated the bay from the ocean. It was nice for the little kids because they could play on the shore and not worry about the waves over powering them. Here is me and Sol enjoying the water, it was very warm!
River and Sol are only 3 months apart but in baby years thats a long time. Sol always seems frustrated that he cant do all of the things that River can. Here he is trying to be a big boy like his cousin and sit up on his own...
... And this is what happened

I think I need to invest in a swimsuit for him but I just think it is so precious to let him go naked. Dont you think! Look at his little butt, so cute!


In the end it was a good day, we had alot of fun. It was just good to get out of the apartment and be in the water. I only wish that Seth could have joined us. But he is working so hard and I know it is all going to pay off at the end of the summer.

Yesterdays burping seesion got a little crazy.





Sol is the most busiest baby you will ever meet. He is constantly in motion. I like to think that he is a two year old trapped in an infant body, he so badly would like to be running around but is handicapped with his wobbly neck and legs. Here he is playing with his new rattle. I feel like he thinks he is doing something very important in this video, just take a look at his face, very serious and concentrated.








Sol always starts the night off in his own crib but throughout the night he somehow manages to get to our bed by morning. It wouldnt be a bad thing except that when he wakes up he feels the need to wake both of us up. Fortunetly he doesnt do that by crying but by talking. He will just look and you and talk and talk until you wake up and then as soon as you open your eyes he will stop and smile, and then resume talking again. Sometimes I think he actaully thinks he is having a conversation with me. Here is a video of what his talking is like, its not a very good example because he kept puttin his fist in his mouth(a new trick he has developed)
