Beach Bunny!


So sorry it has been such a long time since I have updated the blog- I had a huge motion last Tuesday that I WON totally unexpectedly- hip hip hurray- and I was playing catch up at work. But in happier news, little V, Eric and I went down to the Outer Banks courtesy of Aunt Liz and her family! It was SO nice to get away and little V was, as usual, such a trooper.

Andrea, one of Vake's godparents and the mother of my sweet godson, Wills, told me that the thing that makes the growing up of your baby easier is that EACH age becomes your favorite. I have to say I am a HUGE fan of Vake at almost seven months. He is happy and so friendly. He's "talkative" and loves to meet new people. I think I could be happy with six/seven months forever.

The pic above was as we were getting ready to go down to the pool/beach.

Vake liked the pool- the water was a little cold but he seemed to enjoy splashing around in it. I think it is a testament to how hard I am trying to please my readership that I did not destroy this extremely unflattering pic of my arm and back. Gross. Oh well. I will tell you that I am still training for the 1/2 marathon in Richmond in November- my goal is three hours fifteen minutes which I am REALLY hoping is achievable- I am still super slow, mostly because of pain...
Vake and Daddy went down to the ocean while I took it easy for a bit.


Then Vake and I hung out by the pool- the hat is a recent gift from Aunt Andrea who just got back from Woods Hole.

Vake was so good- he entertained himself by ripping the cover of a People magazine to shreds (you cannot convince me that he has not absorbed his father's disdain for celebrity gossip) and then played with his toys.


And when he got tired, he put his little head down for a nap...
