Family Beach Vacation
Like every summer, we are fotunate to come to Yancey's family's beach house on the ocean. This year is a little different, since Yancey is resting more than normal. He had his tonsils taken out on Thursday and is resting while we are here. Thankfully he is feeling better than I did at this point. James and our neice, Annabel, are having a blast! I really didn't know how they would play together, but they love each other. We haven't been to the pool all summer because I really didn't think James would do well, so I was excited when he has had so much fun playing in the plastic pools we set up. I am very thankful that my mom came down to stay at my folk's place so she could help me with Emma Lou at night.
Jumping Around
Emma Lou loves to jump in the exasaucer and in the Johnny Jump up. We even brought the exasaucer to the beach with us!
James and Emma Lou
I am so suprised at how well James and Emma Lou get along. I know this will probably change when she can start taking stuff from him! He is so sweet to her and loves to give her hugs and kisses. He also loves to hold her. He says, "I hold her real tight". They both drive me crazy some days, but I adore them both!

Happy Father's Day
I think Yancey had a great Father's Day. He got to work in the yard quite a bit on transplanting some grass from the back to the front. His parents took James to Pullen Park for the morning, so he was able to spend a lot of time in the yard. We did one of his favorite meals for dinner...kabobs!
Emma Lou eats solids!
After Emma Lou's 4 month check up, where she waid 13.9 pounds, I tried giving her a little bit of solid food. Our doctor said we could try it and I started James on solids at 4 months. She doesn't eat as much as he did at all. This past weekend I made some baby food. We should have plenty for a while.
James' 1st bicycle
The other weekend at the beach, my folks had a suprise for James. They got him his first bicycle...well a tricycle. It is great. It has a handle that the parents can help guide the child and then you can take the handle part off. He had a great time....I think he alsmost liked pushing it as much as riding it!
