What starts out like this…
inevitably ends like this for a thumbsucker…
It wasn’t so bad at first. Although he was a bit perplexed with the new texture to his thumb, he didn’t really mind it to begin with.
However, a newly rinsed thumb lasts but few seconds at the beach.
Nolan ate his share of sand too, but he didn’t mind as much being that he isn’t reliant on his thumb.
First time in the sand was a success…who wouldn’t take a mouth full to be able to feel the sand between your toes?
Love,
We’re back and had a wonderful time. I have so many pictures of various events ~ Easter, The Monterey Bay Aquarium, the babies first time tasting sand, Baseball, etc. I think it will take me weeks to get through them all, but here are a few of Ricky doing what he loved best….playing in the sand and water with his cousins.
Happy Easter from my little crew…
My little stud, in his President’s outfit. He told me, when getting dressed to take these pictures, “Presidents wear these.” Guess the men in our life don’t get dressed up nearly enough!
Ricky thought that everyone needed their own Easter egg to hold. What a great idea except the babies are clearly more interested in their eggs than their momma.
So, I realized while taking these pictures, that this was the first time the babies had actually touched grass. Nolan didn’t like it much. He didn’t freak out, but he clearly did not want to touch it. He was trying so hard to get that blue egg without touching the grass, however every time he would go for the egg, his fingers would touch the grass and he would immediately pull his hands back up. Then he would, ever so delicately, try again.
Benny, on the other hand, didn’t mind the grass one bit. In fact, he kept picking up the aeration plugs and trying to eat them!
Not sure if he was mad that he didn’t have access to the grass and dirt or just tired. Either way… this was it and we were done.
I hope you all have a fantastic Easter! We will be on our way to the beach in California when this posts (trying out scheduling a post ahead of time) and will be gone for an entire week! Yeah! I’ll resume regular posting when we return.
Doesn’t get much cuter than this. I love this little man and love him sucking on his own toes.
What a cutie! How fun for him and the twins to grow up together.
We have crosses in various locations in our home to remind of us of the sacrifice that Christ made for us. I am reminded of this year-round but especially today, a day of mourning, the day that Christ died a horrible death on the cross, for me.
Looking forward to celebrating His resurrection on Sunday!
