1st Beach Trip

A few weeks ago, Cameron took his first trip to the beach!  We spent the week at North Myrtle Beach and had such a great time.  It was certainly not the relaxing week at the beach that it used it be.  With the need for shade, and tents, and floats, and bottles, and water diapers, and hats, and baby sunscreen, etc...we spent a lot more time "getting ready" to head to the beach or pool, as opposed to actual relaxing.  Not to mention, our new need for shade kept us from getting any sort of tan.

Cameron just loves Nola, and vice versa.  Though I don't approve, Nola gets a lick in here and there.

Since we had so much stuff, bringing both a baby and a dog, we had to borrow a minivan for the space.  Even with such a huge car, we barely got all that we needed stuffed in!  I love this picture because you see Nola's eyes peeking over all the stuff, and Cameron's cute little hamburger feet in his carseat.

We had a lot of 1sts on this trip, including 1st time in a restaurant high chair.  He's still a little too small, but he loves not being confined in a stroller and actually getting to bang on the table.  (Oh yeah, and a TV above him...nothing better!)

...still can't stop watching TV!

Cameron LOVES the pool.  He just loves splashing and hanging out in his little shaded float.

Grammy joined us for the last 2 days of our trip.  Cameron loved showing off all of his swimming moves!

Cameron's hair is finally starting to come in.  This is a picture of his first noticeable "bed-head" after a nap.

 While we were on the beach one of the last days, Cameron was gnawing away on his teething ring, and there they were....2 little teeth poking through his little gums!  He is getting his 2 bottom front teeth, which explains the months of excessive drooling.  He's getting soooo big!

The last night, Josh and I went out to a movie, while Grammy watched Cameron.  Grammy took these pictures while she was feeding him.  Apparently, this little wild man had a great time!
