One of Alex’s favorite things to do is play with a mylar balloon. His fondness started in April when I received one for my birthday and has continued since then. He looks pretty stinking cute while doing so therefore I took some pictures and video. Also Alex has started clapping and we have video of that too. He is now 10 months old. Enjoy!

Today we took Alex to the beach and it was his first time in the ocean. Going to the beach with a 9 month old is so much work and required so much equipment that another mother nearby commented how glad she was that her youngest was now five years old and she ‘paid her dues’ and now beach days are much easier. After we got our ridiculous set up done we all got to enjoy a bit of time in the water. Alex loved the waves at the shore but even more so when I was carrying him and they crashed on us. He laughed every time. Just like his sister he likes it better when there are big waves versus calm water. As babies do he got tired and unfortunately rubbed sand in his eye which lead to it bleeding and a quick and rushed exit back home. It’s always hard to have a baby at the beach but at least we all had fun for a short while.
Saturday we met up with our friends for the annual Brooke Margaret Nicole Mattie birthday celebration. This year all the girls were turning 3! Brooke being the oldest, followed by the twins 6 days later, and Mattie 6 weeks after that. We walked around first waiting for our ‘always late’ friends to arrive then went to the splash pad. They had a fun time splashing around and got birthday cupcakes a well.
We decided to take a break from the heat today and spent the afternoon in the Chrysler Museum of Art.
You heard the baby…. he likes tacos!
