Who needs toys anyway?

So the other day I thought Peanut seemed pretty bored with her old toys so I went out and bought some more for her. She seemed kinda interested in them, but not really. I thought she just needed time to grow into them, but when Dad got home and took her into the back yard I realized that it wasn't toys that I should have bought, but kitchen gadgets and garden accessories.

Dad is so much fun!

Almost there...

So tonight we were having some down time with Ava on our bed. We were talking and playing with her when we noticed that she was leaning to one side and we were amazed that she pushed herself up onto all fours and started rocking. I was very excited. She's making such fast steps towards crawling already. I always thought it took a while to reach this goal. We were able to get her to do this a couple of times for pictures and she thought it was pretty funny watching mom and dad get all excited and animated. We'll keep you posted on the whole crawling thing...

Our first family vacation

Over Labor Day we went on our first family vacation to do what else; go camping. Although it wasn't real camping because we stayed in a cabin with electricity and heat. Oh well, it was good for little Peanut's first camping experience. We went to the ocean and to the mountains where you could see the mountain range on one side and the ocean on the other. It was a beautiful view.

The waves were huge.

You can't see the ocean in the picture but it's there, behind the clouds.
