Beach Baby!

For Labor Day weekend, we went to St. George Island with both of our families. Although Jacob doesn't realize this, he was actually here last labor day weekend, in my belly! :)

Warning: If you do not like lots (and lots) of pictures of a really cute baby at the beach...do not read any further

Friday evening (our house is behind us):

That cute bucket is from Uncle Bill and Aunt Sue
 

 

Playing with the new sand toys from Bubbe and Zaide
 

 

Jake and Abby
 

 

Holding hands- so sweet!
 

To all of Jacob's other girlfriends- Allison, Caitlyn, Olivia, and anyone else I may have left out- Jacob says "don't worry! There is plenty of me to go around!"
 

Bubbe tells Jake a secret

Sunset- not too bad for being taken with a point and shoot from a moving car!
 

Sleepy boy! It appears I left the camera on sunset mode

Sunday:

Mr. Blue Eyes

The waves were actually rocking him to sleep!
 

Sean experiments with the camera:

Underwater
 

Half underwater

Shelby and Lindsey. I used to babysit for these girls when they were little and now they are seniors in high school! And just for fun:
 

Here they are (in reverse order) at St. George, Labor Day weekend 1996
 

Jacob at brunch Sunday, showing off the shirt that Daddy brought him back from Maryland (it says: When you're this cute its ok to be this crabby)
 

Old cars on the way home. I really wish I had brought my SLR (left it at home by mistake). These would have been so much fun to photograph
 

Back in Tallahassee- Jacob tries to turn on the stereo!

Beach Day!

I have a new toy!

This camera is waterproof, freezeproof and shockproof. My only regret is that I didn't get it at the beginning of the summer! But since we live in Florida we will have plenty more beach days, including a whole weekend at the beach.
 

I had the opportunity to try it out when Jacob and I went to Cocoa Beach with Amanda, Shaun and Allison

My little guy LOVES the beach!
 

Here is Jacob with his friend Allison
 

Happy boy
 

He loved when the water came up to him. In fact, when I moved him back away from the water, he would start crawling back towards it! He even got splashed in the face a few times but he didn't care
 

There were many attempts to get a picture of the 2 babies sitting together, but Jacob cannot stay still for a single minute!
 

Allison dined on sand all afternoon
 

Not the best shot, but they are both sitting and looking at the camera!
 

And off they go!
