Saturday, Hilton Head Day 4

We had another pretty, pleasant day at the beach.  Then went out to eat and enjoyed some Italian Ice Cream from Pino Gelato.  (if you are ever in Hilton Head Island, you gotta get some.) I had the large cup which is four scoops, which is like two American scoops.  I had 1 scoop of Cheesecake, 1 scoop of Hazelnut, and 2 scoops of Italian Almond Cookies (which was my favorite one, but all three flavors were delicious!)  Then we enjoyed some more time down on the beach for our last night. 

Madalyn learned how to point at the beach.  She points at all the birds she sees in the sky.





Friday, Hilton Head Day 3

Today, the sun has come out and it has been a wonderful, pleasant day.  In fact, Madalyn was ready to begin her day at 3:00 am this morning and didn't even close her eyes until 10:30 am, she went down for an hour nap.  Then woke back up, then went back down for another hour nap. (And yes her mom went down for about a 4 hour nap, due to having only 3 hours of sleep. So at 6:30 this morning I decided to go to the beach and watch the sunrise.  This evening we went to the Salty Dog and got an ice cream and got to see JAKE the Salty Dog.  I got a Salty Dog T-shirt and so did Madalyn.  She also got a JAKE Salty Dog stuffed animal. 

I think Madalyn would have been more impressed if JAKE would have of been an actual dog.

Can you tell Madalyn enjoyed my chocolate ice cream? She was smacking her lips.

Madalyn loves to play with a water bottle and squeeze it to make noise. She is sitting in a sand bucket that her MeMe had let her use for the beach. And no, we didn't put her in there, she got in herself.

Thursday, Day 2 Continued...

Of course we had to get a beach photo shoot in, so this evening...thanks to my mom taking the pictures and me jumping around like crazy, we were able to get some wonderful pictures of Madalyn.

Thursday, Hilton Head Day 2

Today it was cloudy, very windy, and rainy for the morning. It cleared off by lunch time and we were able to go on the beach for a little bit.  And who should we run into to...but Heather (my sister-in-law), Michael, Kayla, and Geoffery who are staying at a near by hotel.  The cousins had fun playing together and Madalyn LOVES the ocean.

 

Wednesday, Hilton Head Day 1

Madalyn saw the Atlantic Ocean for the first time last night.  What did she do you ask?....Made a beeline for the water. I think she would just keep on going, if we didn't catch her. She loves the ocean and sand.  She liked to pick up the sea reeds and suck the salt water out.  She had a great time running and playing last night.

 I love this picture of Madalyn and her Daddy!

My Little Helper

Madalyn just amazes me at what she picks up on and what she can do at her age.  I have had a mountain of laundry to do. Some how, during the last few weeks of school, I guess I didn't do any laundry.  I think with my next load I'll be able to see the bottom of my laundry basket. And I can now see the floor again. Ha ha! :0) I couldn't have gotten it all done without my little helper.  Whenever I go to open the dryer, Madalyn pulls out the lint trap and will clean it off and put it back in. I never showed her how to do this, she just watched me do it and now, she does it every time.  Which I appreciate all the help I can get, no matter how small.

Pool Time

Saturday, Madalyn had some "pool" time in our backyard.  She had the best time getting in and out of her pool, even though I don't have a picture of her smiling.  Since we were just in our backyard, I just put a t-shirt and swim diaper on Madalyn instead of a bathing suit. At her age, it doesn't matter much. :0)
