Under the Weather???

Lindy woke up yesterday morning a little congested and with a nasty cough. She just wanted to lounge around most of the morning, but once she decided to eat the energy kicked in. It was such a fun day with her (I hate that she was sick, but I love lounging with her) -- We watched some "toonies", painted a beach ball picture for daddy, did puzzles, cleaned up dog poop (and Lindy stepped in it), hit baseballs, and went to the park in the afternoon. I think she really loves having her mommy around more and I am the luckiest person in the world to have these days with her.

Looks like a beach ball, right?

There is nothing wrong with a carrot bat!

Grammy Visit

My mom and my niece, Devon, were here for a short 3-day visit this week. Lindy gets to talk to my parents on the phone all the time, but only gets to see them every few months. She was extremely excited to see Grammy and have her spoil her every chance she got. We did a lot of shopping, eating, and swimming. Lindy could not wait to show Grammy how she can go under, jump, and swim over and over again. I must say that she is a great swimmer at 2 years of age. She can jump off the side and swim to the steps with no help at all.

It was so nice to see my mom here enjoying time with 3 of her 4 granddaughters (Brooke was here, too!)

Thanks for coming Grammy & Devon! We'll see you next month.

Alabama Road Trip

Brooke and I decided to make a road trip over to Enterprise, AL so that Brooke could get her new car and to see the rest of the family. The trip had a rocky beginning, as I thought Lindy would sleep the entire way, but she managed to stay up until about 10:30 pm and demanded her Music Class CD to be played...3 hours of "I'm so happy to see mommy, I'm so happy to see daddy..." is enough to drive anyone crazy. Then as we approached Enterprise, deep in conversation (and Lindy finally sleeping), I get pulled over doing 71 in a 55...second speeding ticket in 2 weeks...Urgh!!

Anyway, once we got there, we had a great time. We decided Monday afternoon to make an impromptu trip to Panama City Beach and once we told Lindy, there was NO turning back. She absolutely loved playing in the sand and putting her feet in water. I think her biggest highlight was watching Mikey and his friend, Lance, try to boogie board on the waves. She kept cheering, "Come on Guys". Panama City is much nicer than I remember it, they added a boardwalk section called Pier Park, which included lots of cute shops, ice cream, pizza, carousel, and to top it off a bungee jumping, trampoline thing that I was shocked Lindy did. She is very timid about even walking on the playground equipment or balance beam at Little Gym, but she went with this strange man who put her in a harness and she never looked back. I wish I had my camera at that point because she was bouncing about 20 feet in the air, loving every minute of it.

Yesterday we just hung out at Mike & Laurie's house and then Lindy went swimming with her cousins. I heard rumors that she was jumping off of the diving board over and over again...my baby girl is turning into a daredevil!!!

It was a great visit...thanks for having us Uncle Mike & Aunt Laurie!!

Lindy stamping the watermelon...Alabama tradition?

Lindy and Uncle Mike making sandcastles.

Lindy was Mikey's biggest fan at the beach.
