Cutie
For some reason I am finding it harder to find the time to blog now that I'm on summer break even though it seems like it should be the opposite! Anywho, here are some pictures of our cutie!

The Outer Banks!
Wow - I guess it's been a while since I've last blogged! One of the main reasons for the delay was that we just recently returned from a week-long stay at the Outer Banks! We've lived in North Carolina for over 5 years now and basically since the second we moved here everyone has been telling us "You have to go to the Outer Banks!" So after several trips to other various beaches of NC, we decided to visit the infamous Outer Banks - and it was beautiful! During our visit, we were lucky to have my mother (aka Grandma Bernard) stay for the entire week and Shea's mother, step-father, and brother (aka Grandma & Grandpa Simmons and Uncle Matthew) join us for 5 days. It was a fun, exhausting week (Truman, who is usually a wonderful sleeper, had a really rough time during the night - which meant Mommy and Daddy also had a rough time!). We came home with over 400 pictures, so I think I'm going to have to break this into two separate posts :-)
The first day we got there, as soon as we walked down to the beach (our rental house was only a 3 minute walk to the beach!) Truman became kind of scared, which is very unusual for him. He quickly demanded that Mommy hold him, and then proceeded to bury his head into my shoulder and basically wouldn't look up until we left the beach!
Truman did, however, instantly love the rental house! He clearly felt right at home, and was quickly pulling out all of his toys and books to play with (by the way, how cute are these PJ's that Grandma B bought??)
The next day was filled with a fun day at the beach (where Truman once again avoided the water, but did enjoy the sand), followed by a night of getting Grandma and Grandpa Simmons to read to him!
On our third day, we made a trip to the local aquarium - and oh boy did Truman love it! I mean, he didn't care that much about the fish, but he seriously ran laps around that place! We all estimated that by the time we left Truman had probably run about 2 miles - it was crazy.
Truman also found time for some sweet snuggles with Grandma B at the aquarium.
The aquarium was located on the shore of the sound, and it was absolutely beautiful out there!

Fav Fotos Friday
Here is a somewhat random collection of photos from the week!
Truman being cute (and slightly devilish) while learning to open the door (he hasn't quite figured it out yet, but is getting awfully close!)
Truman enjoying one of his new favorite games wherein Mommy wraps him up in a blanket and then he throws the blanket off - he thinks it's hilarious!
Truman showing off his new teeth (as of today he has 15!)
Truman learning how to climb on the coffee table (luckily he also knows how to climb off of it!)
Truman just being completely adorable
And last but not least, Sophie in a basket! (Earlier today I went to do the laundry and all of a sudden I saw something moving in the laundry basket. It scared the crap out of me, but luckily it was just sweet Sophie being silly)

It's Grandma Time!
We were lucky enough to get a visit from Grandma Bernard last weekend! As usual, we all had tons of fun during her time in NC. Due to the crazy heat we mostly just hung-out around the house, which I think is the best kind of visit! We miss you already Grandma B!!!
