Beach Baby

Last week we had to joy of heading to the beach for a lovely get away with family.  Miss O & I rode down Tuesday and the Mr met us there Friday evening.. we left Sunday afternoon.  It was so lovely to be at the beach... the first time for Miss O & the first time in over a year for myself.  I was going to jump out of my skin if I didn't make it to the beach soon!!!  We got to spend time with so many family members... at one time!!!  Miss O has changed so much!  As of today:
* she can roll herself silly and has started sleeping on her stomach with her bottom up in the air
* she has started saying "ma" and "ba"... ESPECIALLY when she is crying or fussy
* she has 2 bottom teeth coming in. we can see them coming and feel them but they haven't broken through the gums yet
* finally grew out of size 01 shoes
* mainly in 6-month clothes... but she can still get in some 3 month outfits.
* sucking her thumb like crazy- one or both at the same time.  I try to get her back on the paci... tough habit to break if she gets hooked on her thumb! That is always a tough thing for me... it soothes her.
* has started laughing but it is hard to find the exact cue for her.  Her Titi Hilary is winning the contest for getting her to laugh... she has it 3/4 times I think.  It is a sweet little giggle!

Here are some photos from the last week or so. xo
