Happy girl!

Happy Mother's Day!

We went to brunch at the Benning Club this morning - it was delicious! We took a couple of family pictures at home before we all changed out of our nice outfits.

4 months old!

So happy! Now, if she'll start sleeping better overnight, I'll be happy!

We're on a boat!

We rented a pontoon boat at Uchee Creek today! It was Maura's first time on a boat! Aiden and Daddy did their best to catch something, but the fish just weren't biting. We packed a lunch and spent about 4 hours out on the water. It was quite luxurious!

Daddy picked out this onesie in Destin :)


Cheese!

Chewing on her fingers - tooth coming in soon??

Maura

Baby girl reached out and grabbed her rattle out of my hand! I don't think babies are supposed to do that until they're at least 4 months old. Her hand/eye coordination is so good - maybe we have a future athlete on our hands!


I love how suprised she looks!

Safari Zoo

There was a safari zoo on post and Aiden's preschool class got to go! They had a petting zoo, camel rides, pony rides, a presentation with insects and reptiles, and pictures with a monkey! The best part was it was all free! Aiden had a great time, and I got some cute pictures.

Could somebody get this monkey off my back?

Aiden picked the biggest pony to ride!

Destin 2011!

We took our annual vacation to Destin with Beth's family last week! We had a wonderful time and truly did not want to leave. Aiden and Maura did great! Aiden is *so* close to swimming without his floaties, and Maura slept in a big bed without taking Zantac at night! And they slept together in the same room the whole week! I was so proud :) The house we rented had a small private heated pool and Aiden pretty much spent most of the week in it! We carted our umbrella and chairs down to the beach every day and someone would stay with all of it throughout the day so we wouldn't have to cart it all back & forth. The weather was perfect the whole week, and we took Aiden mini-golfing one day. Matt & I are already talking about just the 4 of us going back down there for a 4-day vacation sometime this summer. I'm already thinking about how much fun we'll have next year, with our kiddos and a cousin in the house! Here are a few pics from the week.

Getting ready to leave!
