The first 6 months

I've been avoiding this blog and specifically, this post.  It's a little gut wrenching to see my baby boy growing so fast.  Don't get me wrong, it's amazing watching him grow and discover new things, but each day he looks a little older and gets a little stronger and I realize how fast life is going.

For instance...

 Seriously... how did these first 6 months go so fast, and how can he change and grow that much in such a short amount of time? It's mind boggling!  Not to mention... we're really almost at 8 months!

Clifford Family Vacation

2012 Clifford family vacation took place down at the Gulf of Shores in Alabama, on Orange Beach over the week of the Fourth of July. Liam got to hit the beach for the first time and experience the sand, ocean and the best naps he's ever taken.

There is just something about sleeping to the real sound of the ocean (vs. his Sleep Sheep which we love every night inland) with the salty air to help clean out the remnants of crup. We were able to all enjoy our time on the beach thanks to this pop up tent we brought along. It protected L from the sun, heat and sand and allowed for long afternoon naps while we all took turns hitting the waves and laying our next to him. Since coming home, we've found numerous reasons to use that tent here, too. Definitely a good buy.

 We had so much fun with my great big family and time down south. We wish we could go back, if not for the beach for all that close time with family. It's so fun to have everyone in one place. We sure are a rowdy crew and boy do we have fun.
