NC Coast-Kill Devil Hills, Outerbanks


Liam was still too young for much beach activity. We wanted to keep him warm and cute so we dressed him in this giraffe suit (Chet picked it out...ha ha!!).

I honestly have no idea what Gabriel is doing here. Digging? He's such a funny little guy. He thought the beach was a blast! I think his favorite activity was collecting sticks, rocks, and shells. He would bring them to me and I couldn't stand the idea of giving them back to the beach. I know taking stuff from nature is wrong but I am so sentimental and I couldn't help myself;)

Gabriel loved the beach and went straight for the water. It was sunny but chilly. There was no way we were going to let him swim on such a cold day. Not to mention the waves were rolling in pretty good. He cried when we pulled him out of the water. We had to chase after him and block him from the water. It was tiring for us and frustrating for him. He managed to get away from us once and got knocked down by a wave. He ate sand, got cold, and cried. He didn't try to run in after that. In fact, we had to coax him into the water the following 2 days when it was hot.

I want my cup back.

Why don't toddlers want to use their own cups?
It doesn't matter how many different types of cups we offer Gabriel he only wants to drink from whatever we are drinking from. I am wondering when the day will come that i'll get my dinner fork and cup back? Also, why does he prefer to drink out of sippy cups that are not his own? Whenever he is around his little friend, Kylene, he always wants her sippy cup and she wants his and when she's no longer thirsty Gabriel holds the cup up to her mouth until she takes a drink. Toddlers are such a mystery to me. They are so FUN at this age!

Play date with Lyla

Play date with Lyla

We met our little friend, Lyla, and her Mom, Arlene, at our favorite cosignment shop in Carborro, The Red Hen, where I insisted on buying Lyla that pink tutu. We then went to Elmo's for lunch and finally to C. H. Wilson Park.



Yep, that's a stick in Gabriel's hand and a wallet in Lyla's hand.


So funny to see the differences in boys and girls from such a young age.



What a cute pair!



Gabriel loves to swing!



After such a big day he's wiped out. We're home and ofcourse he fell asleep in the car after a few minutes. Note: He still has the stick in his hand. I think we might actually still have that stick in the car...lol!Posted by Picasa
