on the move...always...all boy


our morning started around 6:45...which is about 45 minutes past G's usual start time if we were on EST. after breakfast, we walked around rosemary & down to the beach - garrett's first view of the ocean.

after his AM nap, we went to play on the beach...and play we did - for 2.5 solid hours! brian & i were playing zone defense b/w garrett & the ocean...that kid ran around, wanted to dive into the water, no fear, splashed in waves - either in our arms or running into them himself, ate some sand, played in a little tidal pool, made a friend...he was exhausted by the time we left & headed back for a nap.

this afternoon after nap (yes, we ALL napped! so freakin' wonderful!), we took garrett down to the fountain...it shoots water up out of the ground. little man's favorite part was that he could press the button himself to start the fountain! he LOVED it & was sooooo proud of himself that he would press it & magically the water would shoot up.

i can't tell you how much time we spent chasing this kid today, though. he is so, so, so on the move. such a boy...that's what you'll see in so many of our pics...he will just not sit still. :-) every time he gets up & we get ready, he starts getting so excited & ready to go out the door (in addition, being outside is his favorite thing in the world right now).

checking out the water with daddy...see how even then he was so ready to jump in that water?

playing in the tidal pool with his new friend, parker.

those are my boys! we had taken a break for lunch & garrett showered daddy w/ some love. i can't tell you how many times today we've said, "i love him so much!" in reference to something garrett's done or just in talking about him in general...that boy has our hearts!

family photo...check out the BELLY (on mommy!). this baby girl is being WILD in my belly - not just when i'm resting; ALL the time!

pressing the button to start the fountain up! when you're 17 months old, this is some serious fun.

our baby sweetness running through the fountain.

running through the fountain & again, away from us!

we were intending to play in the grass park in front of our condo...garrett intended to run away from us. again. :-)
