27 Weeks Old

July 10th: 27 Weeks Old

Best Week Ever!! We had the most AMAZING family vacation ever this past week in Edisto. We were lazy all week long, we played board games, we slept in, we swam in the pool, we had DELICIOUS food.... and the STAR of it all Blakely!! Blakely was a super star... she got to hang out with her Gigi and PopPop, her Auntie and Uncle Matt (ie Her Favorite!!), and Mommy and Daddy ALL WEEK LONG!! SO AWESOME!!

This picture is evidence of Blakely's new nickname "Princess Crazy Hair." Humidity found Blakely this past week and her hair got out of control. At what age is it appropriate to introduce a flat iron

Highlights from the Week:
-Vacation in Edisto
-Loves to Look at the Outside
-Puts self to sleep
-"Princess Crazy Hair"
-Clown Killer
-Roars
-Just like Daddy... Blakely takes a nap in the pool
Picture Highlights from the Week:

One afternoon at the pool, I placed Blakely in her pool float with her Auntie, and then went to grab her sun hat out of the beach bag. I wasn't gone more than 60 seconds, and in that time period she fell asleep.... IN THE POOL!! If it was ever in question (which it never should have been), this is Richard's Baby!! HA! It was a lot cooler and more comfortable in the pool, so Rich, me, Auntie and Uncle Matt created a protective blockade for the girl and let her nap. This is NOT pediatrician recommended just FYI, do not try this at home!

Happy Fourth of July!! We had an amazing cookout outside our condo in Edisto!!

I HATE pictures of food on a blog, but this meal was too delcious to be left out. These are my mom's top secret ribs, and they are beyond words. YUM!!

This is Blakely having the time of her life! Uncle Matt likes to pretend Blakely is a rocket ship and launch her into outspace! She absolutely loves this and goes totally crazy for Uncle Matt.

Gigi may be Blakely's BFF, but currently Uncle Matt is favorite person. It's unbelievable. She'll be in the middle of global-world-war-3 meltdown, and then she sees Uncle Matt and she is instantly happy and giggling!! He is definately her favorite person currently. He is just so much fun!

Impromptu Photo shoot one night at the condo.... I LOVE these Tea jammies, she is too stinking cute!! Literally, this photo shoot is done on a bedsheet with PopPop holding a lap pad behind her! HA!

This week has been so much fun for Blakely.... so much to look at. She loves looking outside. There was a HUGE picture window out the back of the condo with a view of this marsh with alligators, herons, turtles and other water fowl. If she was fussy, all you would have to do is prop her up standing on the back of the couch and she would stare transfixed at the "outside." We have a little "tree hugger" on our hands!
