Pirates
I love living in Charleston. I get to do things like I did today. Reeves and I(and my mom and nephews and niece) all went out on a pirate sailing adventure. We left out of Shem creek and sailed out to the Charleston Harbor. The kids even got to follow clues to find a treasure. Reeves was a little young to sit and listen to the pirate stories, but the ship was big enough that we could walk around. He had a great time and told Bobby all about it when he got home. I did promise Bobby that next weekend he could take Reeves out to do something fun and I would stay home with William.
Look who got to drive the boat:
Reeves and I on the boat. Do you see my awesome beaded necklace? Reeves got to pick some treasure out of the treasure box and he picked this out for me. He also picked out something for Daddy.
Reeves loved to walk all around the boat:
On our way back to Shem Creek we rode right by the spot where Bobby and I got married. I of course had to take a picture.
It was another great Saturday in a great city!
Blueberry Picking
Saturday afternoon Reeves decided he was not interested in taking his nap. I decided to take advantage of the fact that it was not too hot outside and Bobby was home to look after William to take Reeves out. We went out to Ambrose Family Farm and go to pick blueberries. We are CSA members there and have yet to make it out the the farm. We had a blast. It was really nice to get out and have some alone time with Reeves. No one else was at the farm at the time we were there so we had the entire place to ourselves. Here are a few pictures of the day.
Sunday morning I found this recipe using the blueberries for breakfast on Pinterest. It was delicious. Reeves was so proud of himself that we used his blueberries for breakfast.
6 Months!
William you are 6 months old…well really almost 7 now. You have pretty much mastered sitting up now and really love playing with Reeves. You can say mama now but thats it. Reeves said dada first so I feel it is only fair I get your first word. You are starting to try to move around and I don’t think it will be too long before you do. You can almost stand-up if you are leaning/holding on to something…with me right behind you of course. Your favorite place to do this is the train table. Luckily you have a really great big brother and he will give you a train to play with while you are there. You love to smile and laugh and have the cutest dimple on your right cheek. I feel like you have always been a part of this family, I can’t believe it has only been six months. In bad news you were sick for the very first time today. I am not sure if it is because you are teething or just sick. It was nothing too bad, just a small fever and lots of cuddling.
Summer Update
Lately we have been busy working on our summer bucket list and having lots of fun. I was worried this summer we wouldn’t be able to do to much since both boys are at such different stages but it has not slowed us down in the least. I guess it helps having two such great kids! :) I always consider July 4th sort of the mid-point for summer so I thought I would do a little update on how it is going. If you check out the previous post you can see that we have started checking off a few items, but we need to get busy. Now some pictures of the boys and some of the fun we have had so far.
Some backyard fun
One day at the beach
My date with Reeves to see fireworks (Bobby stayed at home with William since he is not a big fan):
Some of my sweet baby mastering sitting up…well trying to at least.
and last but DEFINITELY not least…the boys in the awesome Hawaiian outfits Ms. Lori got for them on her recent vacation. How amazing are these?!?
Sorry about the picture overload. Maybe I will go less than a month next time between posts and will not have to cram so much in.
