Vacation.

Mommy & Daddy are going camping in Maine. Grandma offered to take Lily (Ha, like I even had to ask.) So today I set up our tent to clean it, & make it smell ... not like a basement. Lily helped, & we played in the tent for a while after. This kid LOVES being outside. Here are some photos:

^ Not too sure what to do when the wind blew...

^ Accidental shot #1...

 ^Accidental shot #2...stupid camera strap.

 ^This photo melts my heart- I love my little monster.

 ^ Trying to decide to bail or not.

 ^Wind blew & she gets all excited.

 ^ Investigating per usual.

^ Being cranky THANKS to three teeth making their move!

Summer photo dump!

All done!

After devouring her dinner & a red velvet cupcake,

the next stop was the BATH TUB!

When shes done eating she signs 'all done' Then says "HOORAY!" while clapping. Until recently she would attempt to sign it, but it wasn't always with both hands or done properly. This whole week she has told me when she was done eating by signing. It's amazing to see her mimic me, but even more so when I know shes using it/signing it correctly AND understands it too.

Cannonball Splash!

Instead of getting baby girl a nice, LITTLE [easy] pool...

Daddy got her 'Cannonball splash'-

As you can plainly see, its GIANT & slightly overkill*

Well,she LOVES it!! We have the space, so why not right?

*It's not even turned on in this picture lol!

 

 

Daddy & baby girl both got a little red soaking up all that sun.

I even put sunblock on her TWICE. The redness only lasted on daddy tho!

I hope everyone has a safe & FUN July!

Family day & bedhead!

This past Sunday was 'Family day'- the weather was PERFECT!

 Lilith met a boy playing ring toss (Twice her age!) They were too cute together!

 She had a reallyyy long day Sunday, no nap- but she was a trooper!

Today she woke up with this adorable MOP!

 She also bit a hole in her LAST binky! 

Kiss it goodbye!

Life is a beach.

So it wasn't the BEST conditions the day we made it to the beach. Sure, the sun was beating down, and it was hot hot hot! Alas the WIND made our beach stay on the short side.  No matter, we still had fun. Lilith L-O-V-E-D the sand. I mean she was digging in it, throwing it, laughing her butt off. It was awesome. When I was her age my mom & dad could leave me on the beach blanket with no fear of me leaving. I was terrified of the sand ( or maybe how it felt on my feet). We got a sweet "beach tent" thingy at Target but it was more like a kite that day & didn't get much use!  I really need to start using the remote control I got for my [AMAZING] camera, so mommy can be in the pictures too!  Until then here are my loves <3

 Daddy is making a funny face & baby girl is eating a mum mum, but god damn I love that beach. 

Easily the most beautiful/clean beach in Rhode Island, hands down!

 Try & tell me that beach isn't beautiful. I dare ya!

 So calm and full of life, so proud to say I grew up here.

Daddy fills it, Lilith throws it.

All the shots are raw & unedited:

Bare with me, it was so windy sand was tryin'

to get all up in my camera & I wasn't having it.

So next time I will get better shots! :D
