SLEEP

I forgot to mention that Webb slept on an Aerobed the entire trip at the beach. He had his own room w/ two twin beds, but we didn't take side rails with us, so that was not an option. But, the exciting part is that he stayed in his bed the entire week w/o any hassles! When we got back from the beach, we moved him into his big bed permanently! No more crib for Webb! He crawls into his bed and stays there. It's WONDERFUL! (although he doesn't necessarily stay where he should in the bed (head on his pillow), but he's in it, nonetheless!)

Now we can focus on getting Emerson into the crib!

Hilton Head 2008

Whew! What a week! Six adults and six children under age five! Fun in the sun at the beach, lounging and splashing in the pool. Quality time w/ the cousins and the minis (the little cousins). What more could a family ask for? Here are some of the weeklong memories!

Emerson's first day at the beach - she was exhausted by the whole experience!

Webb isn't too sure about the ocean, so he sits on mommy's lap for safety!

Sweet little face!

Ellie was worn out from the first day on Hilton Head!

There were no alligators in our pool, but there was a HUGE shark that Ellie tackled the next day after a good rest!
This is one of my favorite pictures!Whitaker and Ellie enjoy the cool tide pool we found!

Kathy always hamming it up... Webb acting so cool in Mommy's glasses!

Whitaker is showing how his swim lessons paid off!

What? There's something in the pool?

Our own bathing beauty! Daddy did her hair - can you tell? Jack is outta here - off the Salty Dog! When Emerson's not lounging on a pool float, you can find her in the hammock! Ellie loved some snuggle time with Emerson!

Whitaker & Webb enjoy some afternoon Baby Einstein (even though Whitaker's not a baby anymore!)

Sullivan can't wait until NEXT year!

Emerson is TWO months old!

Whew - it's been busy this week w/ exams and end of school craziness. Grandma has been here to stay and take care of Emerson while mom went back to work. Emerson has turned two months old during this busy time! Thursday is the last day of school and then we're off to the beach! YEA! Webb is very excited about the beach trip!! Can't you tell?

Here are some stats on Emerson's two month check-up:

Weight:

12 lbs. 14 oz. - 90th %ile (She was 7 lbs. 7 oz. at discharge from the hospital)

Height:

23 1/4 inches - 80th %ile (She was 19 1/2 inches when she was born)

Webb is loving his time w/ Grandma - she is a GREAT reader!

Uncle Daryl sent this Army bear for Webb...Mr. Bear watched Baby Einstein w/ Webb and shared his licorice w/ him.

All of this growing wears Emerson out!
