Summer Beach Vacay

Our summer vacation was so fun! 
David and I spent part of our time in PCB with my side of the family, and part of our time in Mexico Beach with the Griffin side. It helps that the families vacation at the same time every year only 30 miles apart! 

Henry did great on the ride down - he's a good traveler! 

We were so excited for his first beach trip, and had him 3 outfits to celebrate the 4th in. 
Here's our happy baby laughing with his aunt Laura Lyn and uncle Brince!

Here he is napping in outfit #2 - I couldn't resist taking his picture with his little tush in the air!



and here's outfit #3 for dinner and the fireworks show!


Everyone had to have a pic with our little flag-holder!





It was wonderful to be with my cousins Hugh, Gracie, Chandler and Ivy!
They all loved taking turns holding the baby.


And here's a bunch of the crew watching the fireworks - there were 21 of us in all!


So excited to see these two get hitched in a few short weeks!


Pure patriotism.


During a break in all the rain, we took Henry down to the sand. He loved dozing in his tent! He still loves the outside and seems to be really comforted by the sound of the waves.


How cute is this?



Henry mostly stayed indoors and got lots of love! 









Those rolls are just pure sugar for this mama!


We enjoyed a night out with B&LL 


He's so responsive now, and loves to talk back!



Later during our vacation, we moved over to Mexico Beach.


We loved spending time with the Griffin crew too...this is little Lizzy - she's grown so much!



Ben was rocking a tan from his time in the sun!


Our little crab!


And Henry's first time feeling grass - not sure how it felt! Probably pretty itchy!


Pammy and Pop kept Henry for David and I while we went scalloping in St. Joe Bay - that's Lizzy and Rodney on the boat, David with his catch, our bucket of scallops, and the little kiddos "helping" open the shells.


Our little snorklers!


We capped off the end of Grffin Beach Week with a bonfire on the beach...here's Pammy and Pop with our sleepy little man!


And our little family of three!


Rodney, Ben, and Wyatt in the water





Here's Amanda and Christie at the bonfire too! 


Fun week! 
Stay tuned for more on what we've been up to lately!

Daddy's outfit


As you can imagine, I am obsessed with taking pictures of Henry! 
I dressed him up in David's little sailboat bubble and had a mini-photo shoot. 
Had to share the cuteness!

Is there anything sweeter than a clean baby?

6 weeks old!

Henry was 6 weeks old on Monday, the 1st.
The time has flown by!

He's such a good baby, and David and I feel so very blessed every single day with the gift of him. 
He's got the sweetest personality...and it melts this mommy's heart when he smiles and coos! 

Henry is a fantastic eater - he's over 11 lbs now!
He's sleeping 4 hours in a row almost every night, and has even given us a few 5 and 6 hour stretches! 
In the mornings, he's very playful and alert. He loves afternoon play time too, but lets us know when it's getting close to bed time again. 
He is absolutely fascinated by being outside and loves his bath time!

Henry still has all of his hair - I keep expecting some of it to fall out, but so far, he's still rockin' a full head of dark brown hair! His cheeks have filled out, and his tummy too. We're starting to see rolls on those long arms and legs - like pure sugar! 

Here are a few sweet pics I snapped to mark his 6 week old birthday!

Our Weekend in Hilton Head

Last Thursday, Henry and I headed south for the weekend. We started our trip with a quick visit with Meredith and her sweeter than life little man, David. Henry loved meeting Meredith too! I am so excited for these little boys to grow up together! 


On Friday, we headed to Hilton Head Island with my BFF Amy to visit my sister, Abbye. She's living and working on the island! 

We had a nice night eating outside on the harbor


Enjoyed a lovely dinner at Red Fish
Saw my and Amy's friend Stephanie
and did a little shopping at the outlets


And we strolled around Harbour Town enjoying the live music and eating ice cream! 
Henry loves his Aunt Abbye and Amy...he's always captivated by being outside, but sometimes enjoys a nap in the stroller too!
