Summer is here!

So HUGE!

Charlotte finally figured out how to hold a sippy cup and drink! I know this may seem small, but she has not been able to hold a bottle and drink yet. So her being able to do this today is one small step towards her reaching milestones.

Thank you Jesus for the little things!

Big Girl

Our baby is 11 months old today!

And she really likes a corn cob.

B-E-A-C-H

Sam, Charlotte and I spent a few days down in Myrtle Beach/Surfside with Granny and Papa. Tim actually went down with S & C on Friday night, and then I followed on Saturday after a wedding reception. Tim left on Sunday, and then the kids and I headed back on Wednesday.

I have a ton of pictures which I am trying (unsuccessfully) to get into a slide show so that I can put them all on here. While I'm working on that, I will go ahead and share a few teaser pictures with you. Cause I love y'all, and I don't want you to forget how ridiculously cute my babies are.

Just some pictures...

Dr. Crentist

Sam had his first dentist appointment this morning. I was a little apprehensive about it; if you know Sam then you know he can be a tad bit stubborn. And he was at first... he didn't want to lay back in the chair. But once we got him to relax and lie down, he was great! I couldn't get over how well he did.

The hygienist put these little sunglasses on him to keep the light out of his eyes and she cleaned his teeth. Then the dentist came in and she counted all Sam's teeth and checked out his alignment. He does have a bit of a cross bite, but she said that may fix itself when his molars come in.

I really wanted to get a picture of him in the chair, but Sam was not in a picture-taking mood, and I didn't want to be "that mom."

So here is Sam outside the office before the appointment:

And here he is after, explaining to me that he doesn't need a new toothbrush, since he already has one at home:
