Da Da's 30th Birthday Beach Trip!

We're back from a wonderful weekend on the gulf! Well actually we've been back since Sunday evening, but I'm just now getting around to posting. Our weekend was just what we all 3 needed.
The weather was beautiful our whole trip. Again like I stated in my last post we stayed on 30A in Seagrove. Jonathan and I have stayed at the same place in Seagrove for 4 years now (if we're not staying in Seaside). This area holds a special place in our heart. All the trips we took down there while trying to concieve and all the things we imagined for our family vacations down there have finally come true, such a blessing! I can't wait to make many more memories with our family of 3 ( and maybe more, one day ). It's in the perfect location-less than a mile down from Seaside and it's perfect for little weekend getaways.

I will tell the rest of our trip in pictures since there are so many!

Football anyone?! This sweet boy LOVED running around the amphitheater with all the other kids.


The beautiful gulf!


Bud's (Dog) House!

He loved playing in there!

Resting

Running the lawns in Rosemary!


Sweet boy!

He loved playing in our bed when we first got to our room.



PERFECT view. Can't beat it!


Passed on the way to dinner in Destin at the Back Porch! Can't break MANY years of tradition. Got to eat at the Back Porch!


Family picture on the beach at the Back Porch.




Playing on the playground at the Back Porch.


Watching the cats at the Back Porch. He did not want to leave them.


First night this little boy stayed up til midnight. That's.A.First. He did not want to sleep. He was being so silly.


He knows how this beach thing works.


Bubbles!


So I'm sad to report he did not like the sand this trip. You would've thought we were torturing the poor baby. As long as he was on a blanket he was OK.


Sand Castle time with Daddy.


Watching the waves









Our beach bum!


After lunch at Bud & Alley's rooftop! Also a must every trip!


Almost nap time.


He's ready to go again.


Hey y'all I'm coming!


Such a flirt already!


Checking out the band Dread Clampitt before dinner.



In his Bud- Seaside mascot (dachshund) longall just for his trip to Seaside.


My love!


Cox Family of 3!




Back to Bud's house we go!


Daddy's favorite, The Great Southern. He was done eating and was ready to dance the night away with the band.


So this is one of the highlights of the trip. After dinner we walked across the parking lot back to the amphitheater to see Dread Clampitt. They are actually from Walton County and come back to play. They are soooo good. Jonathan and I aren't the only one's that thought so... Baylor danced his little heart out until they finished. He showed us and several people around us his moves and was great entertainment for many on- lookers. We had so many people come up to us to talk about cute he was and how great his dance moves were, HA! In the picture below sitting on the bench this man ( and his wife) actually called his daughter or son and I would hear him on the phone with them saying "you otta see him, he has a blue and white seeksucker outfit on, with his white sweater, hair parted, and dancing with the beat of the music. He is so handsome." I thought it was too cute. I think he was missing his grandson. He also said on the phone he looks like whatever his grandson's name was. How funny. Just thought I would share and jot it down for my memories sake. It was a SAD.SAD.SAD. time when the stopped. Baylor just didn't understand they couldn't play all night. We look forward to many more concerts in the ampitheather this summer and summers to come.

Checking the band out before he got going.






My pride and joy!









I took a few hundred pictures ( can you believe that? probably so- it's me)so these are only a few I had to post and share. It was such a special time for us and we can't wait to head back down in May. Bring on BEACH SEASON!!
I'll be back soon with a post on Baylor's 15 Month appointment that he had on Monday. And of course with more pictures because I love taking them :)

15 Months!

Baylor turned 15 months on Sunday. 15 months sounds so big to me for some reason.

Here are some things our sweet boy is up to:

-He loves to bark like a dog. He picked this up from Gin Gin's dog, Hank.

- He calls most animals dog, but sometimes will change it up to duck. He also knows what a cat is and will say it when he spots one.

-He has started saying Thanks. He has been saying thank you for several months and still does, but he likes to switch it up to thanks now.

-Vocabulary: side (outside), hey and waves, bye, dog, cat, duck, mama, dada, thank you, thanks, juice, no, there you go, uh-oh, Gi Gi (Gin Gin), Riley, Granna (not so easy to make out), dance, ball, movies,and I'm sure I'm missing more. He is a talker. We get told that often!

-When a group of people are laughing he starts laughing too. It's so cute! He has the sweetest laugh.

-He blows kisses, gives kisses with a Muah (DaDa said he got that from my kisses to him), waves bye bye, waves hey, claps his hands, dances (legs spread apart and rocks back and forth, stomps his feet really fast, and swings his arms side to side), and hands us things and says thank you.

-He is becoming more independent by the day: He tries to put his shoes and socks on while I'm doing his other foot, he wants to brush his own hair, he wants to hold his own open-face cup, and he wants to feed himself with a spoon all the time.

- He stills goes to bed around 6-6:30 every evening and sleeps til 6-6:30 in the mornings.

- One 2hr nap in the afternoon.

-Size 3 diapers

-12/18 Month clothes

-Good eater. LOVES all fruit!

Those are some Baylor fun facts! It's amazing how fast he's changing and how fast he picks up things. He's such a smart baby boy! We are very blessed that God chose us to be his parents!

15 Months and handsome!






Don't forget to check out my V-day post right before this one. Even though they are out of order- that's two post in one day. Go me!

Monday

We made a trip to the Pediatrician this Monday afternoon. Baylor has had a cough off and on for two weeks. This weekend he started get a runny nose and low grade fever so I made an appointment just to get him checked out, even though you wouldn't know he was sick. For the most part he has been acting "normal," fussy at times with horrible coughing spells during the night, but that's about it. Diganosis-cold and Sinus infection. Dr. M put him on amoxicillin so hopefully that will nip it in the bud!

Just a little side note- Big Boy's weight was 25lbs today!



Playing with his sticker! He had to do a RSV test. NOT. FUN. so he got a sticker or two :)



Sick baby



Dancing!





Ready for a ride!
