Forts, family, and fun!

Friday afternoon I was getting ready for my family to come in town. While I was switching out the sheets in the guest bedroom, I sat Mills next to his activity mat to play. Since he's such a big boy these days, he found another use for it...

A cool new fort! He was just playing away...

He had flipped that little sucker right over and thought he was pretty stinkin' cool...

of course I agreed! :)

"Oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh, look what I did!!!"

And of course as soon as I got down on his level he immediately made his way over to me...

hehe, that little booger! :)

On Saturday we hung around the house and even enjoyed the {muggy} hot weather as we sat outside for a few minutes little while...

We met a little froggy friend that my mom took a picture of (her lens was foggy...wonder why!) - he was about the size of my fingertip!

And then we went to Taco Boy out at Folly for an early dinner. Poor Nicholas was post-call, so he slept in lieu of dinner. :(

Mills trying to decide what to order... :)

Mmm, milk hits the spot!

oh that sweet boy of mine...

We walked over to the beach for just a couple of minutes...it's still a little too hot to have the little guy out all day at the beach (we get spoiled at the beach house), but we're definitely planning some little Folly days as it's cooling off just a tiny bit...

MaMa, Mills, and I - we really do love each other a lot, despite the distance between us, haha!

Mom, Mills, and Phil!

Mills has been working on lots of new tricks...as I mentioned last week, he's crawling like a pro - Mom says he looks like a wind-up doll because he moves his little arms and legs at the same time to an exact rhythm, haha, it's so cute! He's also become quite the little "singer" in the past week. :) He's been "singing" like crazy and holds his little notes so long - I swear he has the sweetest voice. :) Not that I'm partial or anything. We've been calling him "Michael Buble" all weekend, haha!

Mom snapped a few pics of his singing face in the backseat of the car!

haha!

He absolutely cracks me up.

Gammy told him that singing and making that face is hazardous to his health because it makes her want to PINCH him!!! :)

Another ride in the car...

And he also has his second tooth coming in, too! Last Saturday it was just the one, and now the other one is poking on through!

close up!

AND, we finally put together Mills' highchair so he can have a little more room to enjoy his meals (and not sit in the Bumbo and try to pull everything off of the counters, added bonus)! He thinks he is hot stuff!

Megan came up from Hilton Head this morning and we enjoyed a fun (but HOT) Sunday brunch! :)

Poor Nicholas had to work again, but we really enjoyed having Gammy, Philly, and MaMa in town!

Once Nicholas got in we had dinner, made a quick trip to the grocery store, and walked over to see Richard and Katie's nursery for Baby Heard - it is coming together so well and the paint job looks AMAZING! :)  If being a GI doc doesn't work out for Richard, we know where his other calling lies... :)

Mills hanging out, enjoying the ride.

And I'm so excited that Katie finally started a BLOG - WooHoo!

We had a wonderful weekend, and we have a BIG week ahead! Time sure does fly once you have a baby, but man, it's soooooo much more fun! :)
