Beach Bums

My friend Kjersti, her baby girl Presli, Beckham, and I headed to South Padre Island (about 6 hours from Austin) to visit the beach. Her husband is working down there for a couple of weeks so we crashed at his hotel with him. I can't say it was relaxing .. in fact, taking a baby to the beach was quite the opposite ... but it was SO FUN!!

Here are some pictures from our trip!


Beckham is belly laughing because Presli is in his carseat and is kicking him.


He changes his own diaper too.


We are so excited because we are headed to the beach!


When Beckham sits on his little tush he does theee cutest little routine of bending completely over and resting his face flat on the ground. It is down right adorable! Well he did it in the sand and ended up with a face full.


Tasted the sand & didn't like it.


Naps on the beach. It took ten minutes of full on screaming and a bottle for each of them (spiked with nyquil) and they finally gave in.


Just pondering the life he has lived.


I LOVE this face ... he likes to "play" with his teef. He slides his tongue over them, rubs them on his upper gums, touches them with his pointer finger ...


He is seriously my best buddy. I have enjoyed this stage where he sits and plays and "talks" back and forth with me. I LOVE LOVE LOVE being a mother. **Note to self. This picture is evidence that it is definitely time to purchase a darker colored base. This is a happy occasion, as it means you are tan.**


Can someone please tell Beckham to stop growing up?


Note the splattered guts. We hit a million bugs at once. Genocide?? Kamikaze flyers? Who is to blame?
