Beach Trip and more

I am so thankful for another month of playtime and adventures with Creighton. So the month started with his first three airplane rides...from Boise to Salt Lake City to Atlanta to Myrtle Beach...to visit Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina and meet his cousins (Patrick and Madelyn) and his Aunts & Uncles (Angie, Toby, Abbie, Mollie, Ronnie, Jeff) and Betsy, Travis, Matt, Rhiannon and Meme & Papa too. Creighton was amazing he didn't cry once on the flights! He enjoyed every minute of the adventure week...from the airports, looking at all the people, riding the escalator, and the tram/train in Atlanta to every minute at the beach house with the family. Creighton seemed to really enjoy the ocean. I would take him on walks down the beach early in the mornings and he would fall back asleep in my arms.

Everyone was amazing with him and he loved every bit of attention he got. Sometimes he would just sit on someone lap and watch Patrick play and wouldn't take his eyes off of him. Matt surprised us all and proposed to Abbie at the beach, so exciting (please read Angie's post on the proposal). A HUGE thanks to Meme and Papa for the week at the beach!


On the 7th we returned to Boise...thanks to Rhiannon for accompanying us on the airplanes, we couldn't have done it without all your help! Tim was able to come home on the 9th and again on the 13th & 14th.

Then we all (Tim, Creighton, Bailey and I) headed up to McCall on the 15th and stayed at the cabin until Tim left on a fire assignment on 21st. During that week we were able to cut fire wood, go to the lake for a picnic lunch, check out the farmers market, and go camping one night in our pop-up camper. After Tim left on the fire assignment Creighton, Bailey and I headed back to Boise and were able to spend an afternoon with Auntie Penny and cousin Alyssa, and another day with Shannon. Then on the 28th Reenie, Shannon, Creighton & I headed up to McCall for the night to attend our friend Doll Face Killer's wedding...as you can probably guess by the name she was a derby girl. She was on our team, The Derailers.

During the month of August Creighton has started to vocalize more and more. Most mornings he wakes up and talks to the animals on his bumper pad for 10 minutes or so. He still doesn't care for tummy time but we are working on it lasting more then a few minutes at a time. He enjoys laying on his back and holding his toys with both hands and brings them to his mouth, which I think is pretty neat. He also has started to pull out his pacifier and put it back in (well as long as he doesn't drop it first). He weighs about 14 pounds. He is awake most of the day and usually just takes two naps during the day and he is still sleeping through the night. This month he seems to have three favorite toys: his monkey from Auntie Ronnie/Uncle Jeff and his ball/rattle from Meme/Papa and Sofie the Giraffe also from Meme/Papa.


Here is the group of photos I took from the week at the beach.
