Savannah experienced the beach for the first time this past weekend. We took a 4-day weekend trip to Ocean Isle with Nana, Grandpa, Uncle Waylon, Aunt Robin and Noah. We really had a great time. It is so neat to see Savannah and Noah interacting with eachother. Of course, next years beach trip will be even more fun, since Savannah will have a new little girl cousin:) in October!!! Aunt Robin is expecting #2 in October and Savannah is so thrilled to leave her legacy of pink things to her younger cousin! :)
Here are a few snapshots from the weekend. Enjoy!
Savannah basking in the sun on Thursday. She really isn't so sure about the sand and waves.
Friday...She is warming up to the sand. She was so cute. She would lift her feet up when you tried to stand her in the sand or ocean water. If she couldn't lift both feet, she would lift one like a little flamingo!
I just love this shot. She started to play in the sand a little bit by this point.
Here we go...she's into it now!! Our only problem was that she wanted to EAT the shells!
We had a pool at the house we rented...so nice! Savannah LOVES the pool. That is a good thing since we have joined our neighborhood pool.
On Saturday, we went out on Daddy's boat. Sean is keeping his boat in Little River for the summer. We are going back down to Myrtle Beach this month for a family reunion with Sean's dad, brothers and sisters. Savannah is excited to meet all of her Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins.

Our last day at the beach. Me and my sweet angel!
Savannah and Daddy. She refused to keep her hat on:)!
So sweet. She was actually starting to act VERY tired Sunday. She slept the whole way back to Raleigh and wanted to keep sleeping once we got home. She seemed to be feeling bad. I was thinking that maybe she was teething (I don't usually attribute a baby being fussy to the teething thing, but I could see two coming in), but I ended up having to take her to the doctor on Tuesday. She wasn't eating a lot and refusing her solids. The doctor said she had a virus. He said she should feel better by her 4th day (which is today), so I hope I see some improvements tonight.
Savannah on the beach. She loved walking on the beach in the morning (since she likes to get up earlier than everyone else).
Savannah has really mastered the art of picking up and eating food. She LOVES to eat puffs!
We took a trip to Broadway on the Beach. Savannah's cousins Kristina and Joseph were stopped by a bear while shopping.
Cousin Ashley met up with the same bear.
We spent one of our nights learning how to "shag". The shag is a dance that is famous at the beach in the Carolina's. Katie and Grandpa Sharpe arranged for a shag instructor to come to the house and show us some moves!
Savannah got in on the action of learning how to shag.
Shagging really isn't as easy as it looks!
Goofing around with her cousins. Joseph had the "touch" with Savannah. She really loved playing with him.
Goofing around with her cousins: Joseph, Brian, and Kristina.

Savannah didn't really like the water and the sand at the beach over Memorial Day weekend, however this trip was a different story.
A family shot on the beach.
The Grand kids (Kristina, Savannah, Ashley, Brian, & Joseph). This isn't all of them by any means...Savannah is #12!

Savannah is a bubble at the aquarium. It was suppose to represent an egg.
We love this set of Savannah in her little Easter Dress!
This is a nice set of Savannah and Kaleb hanging out by one of the corral fences.
We are so proud of our little Savannah!. She is growing and changing every day! She is getting so mobile and constantly reaching to test her own limits. She is pulling up on everthing and getting pretty good at walking along the couch or other things that she can hold on to. We are expecting her to let go and take that first step any day! It is absolutely impossible to explain the joy and happiness that she has brought into our home!
