Project Rosalie - 29 Weeks

It's Ocean Gallery beach week! Yay! As you can see, and as I mentioned, Rosalie LOVED the sand! We also saw a huge Sea Turtle laying eggs on the beach when we were down one evening! It was really exciting! Rosalie got along great with the kids, especially the girls, Peyton, Elle and Kylie! I'm really glad we got to spend so much time with the family members we don't get a chance to see very often!

It's all about the TONGUE!

Project Rosalie - 28 Weeks

At 28 Weeks it was time for Rosalie's first Annual Crescent Beach vacation with her Herrington family! It was a blast! Rosalie was of course a perfect angel. We stopped at Jake and Starleigh's and visited with Jane and Sawyer on the way down. Rosalie did great in the car, she's become a real pro at traveling! When we got to the condos we got to see our Utah family members who've never met Rosalie, and now Rosalie has met all of her super cute cousins!

Rosalie LOVED playing in the soft fluffy sand at the beach and was a big fan of the nice warm pool, but wasn't thrilled with the cold Atlantic ocean, but I can't blame her for that! I was glad she had so much fun with it!

I believe that she's doing the sprinkler in this photo!

We had a fun week! I wanted Rosalie to continue getting used to the water, since we'll be spending this next week at the beach, so one day we spent in the kiddie pool in our backyard and she did great! Splashing and playing, sitting by herself and trying to nose-dive into the water... a big step up from the last couple of water-fun attempts. Then later in the week, we went to play with Cally, Logan and Wesley (...and Jaclyn, Gabrielle, Sarah, Olivia and Brody) and played on their fun, big blow-up slide! Rosalie and I didn't go all the way down ;-) but she loved being helped down from halfway up!

Rosalie is becoming QUITE the diva, by the way, with full on tantrums when you take away something she wants to hold on to. I still think it's cute!.... For now.

Great Great Uncle Calvin, etc...

Chit Chatting with a few of her animally friends!
She's so pretty!!!

Rosalie was as sweet as ever this week! We went this past weekend up to AL/GA so that some of Rosalie's relatives could meet her. She slept the whole way there. Amazing. It's about a three hour drive, so for a girl who rarely naps longer than an hour, that's just plain luck! We went shopping with Aunt Brenda and Grana, spent some time with Great Great Uncle Calvin and Great Great Aunt Blue, had breakfast at Aunt Brenda's with Uncle Mike, and Cousins Garrett, Cassie, Logan and Aiden, then cooked out with Uncle Don and Aunt Suzy. It was a really fun trip and I'm so glad she got to meet the other half of the family! We didn't have the best of luck on the way back home. We left early evening hoping she'd sleep on the way home, but she was awake and happy for the first hour, then totally melted down, but I can't really blame her! When she was finally settling down she had a big blow out in her car seat, so we had to stop and clean her up at a gas station, clean out the carseat and then just put her back in! She has gotten so much better in the carseat, but that was just too much to ask!
In better, and more important, news: Rosalie reached out for Mommy with both arms for the first time! Talk about making my heart melt!
Also, Mommy went out to lunch with a friend sans bebe for the first time too!
