September Already!

Wow, how time flies, Mike and I are trying to get into the groove of island life, we take a walk each night on the beach and collect a few sea shells. Sean goes in the Kelty backpack, he looks like the "pasha" of Captiva riding on his elephant (i.e. Mike), Kate now holds her head up so she goes in the snugli (a front carrier). We try to get out of the house at least once a day to enjoy where we live, but it can be a daunting task, between nap times, feeding schedules and work schedules we sometimes feel more like we live at the zoo. Especially with the smell from the diapers!
Sean is walking everywhere now, he does not tolerate being in the car seat for long rides anymore, which makes going to the mainland a "fun" trip. He is hilarious nonetheless. He helps collect sea shells and loves taking baths to get the sand off afterwards. He mimics everything Mike and I do from putting on shoes and socks to talking on the cell phone. He says "Maggie" "Mummy" "Daddy" and "Ball", he knows where his ear, belly button and nose are and will happily show you where yours are too. He talks nonstop, and sometimes quite adamantly.

Kate is growing like a weed, I think she must be nearly 10 pounds by now. She only wakes once in the night to be fed, but moves around a lot and often needs to have her bottle adjusted. She is holding her head up a lot these days and is very curious about her surroundings. She is awake more and more during the day, taking in all the goings on. Sean is enamored with her and likes to point at her. When he hears her cry he looks and me and yells "mummy" and then points in her direction. I will try to upload some new pics, take care and I hope to update soon, we are headed to Atlanta to see our very best friends Donna and Walter next Monday for a week, it will be nice to see them and have some adult time too.
Later days!
