Beach Bumming

Matt, Kate, Kamatha, Jesse, Foster and I had lots of fun just hanging out on the beach today. It was Kate and Foster's first ever time on the beach. Kate LOVED playing in the sand! She HATED putting her feet in the ocean. Matt made a sandcastle with her. We all had a lot of fun today!

In other news, Matt and I accepted an offer on our house! Thankfully, it was only on the market just over a week. It was kind of a pain to keep it ready to show at all times with a baby in the house. The people buying our house want to close on November 23rd.

My 2 Favorite "V" Words...

We've had a busy week . Kate and I got our H1N1 vaccines (one of my favorite "V" words...) on Thursday. This morning (very, very early this morning) we left for our vacation (my other favorite "V" word). We took a couple quick shots on the balcony before the sun went down. It's so nice to be able to take a week off and just hang out!!

Hibachi...? No Thank You!

Tonight we took Kate to a Hibachi grill for the first time. We thought she would have fun watching the guy cook the food. She was not too impressed. We found out she really doesn't like fire (at least she doesn't like it if a giant flame magically appears two feet in front of her out of nowhere). Maybe in another year she'll think it's cool.

She has started to pull up on things a lot more in the last few days. Every now and then she'll let go of whatever she's holding on to and stand for a second until she plunks down on her butt. This afternoon, Matt practiced letting her stand by herself.
