2nd Trip to Tahoe

Brent enjoyed his second yearly trip to Tahoe in the summer. He had so much fun this year, 2 trips to the beach a day, building sandcastles, kayak rides, playing with trucks, climbing stairs, wagon and tricycle rides, eating out for dinner, and taking the dogs to the beach. He was so interested in everything at the beach - the geese, waves, kids, trees, seagulls, etc- that he would actually stay in one place to take it all in. He loved climbing into our beach chairs, and standing up until he toppled over. He continues to love wheels & tires, pointing them out and examining them wherever we go.

Two big milestones this week: he transitioned to one afternoon nap a day (3-4 hours) and has cows milk before his nap (instead of breastmilk). This makes moms life a lot easier. He has 8 teeth now, a few aren't in all the way so he's a drooley mess. The molars are coming in too.

Grandma and Grandpa were a big help this week. We all took turns staying at the cabin while he napped in the afternoon. Ryan and I also went out to the casinos with Uncle Drew Sat night and out to dinner twice without Brent. They also helped out in the morning while I ran & Ryan took the dogs to the beach.

Our little guy brings us so much joy and makes everything so much more fun (except pre-6 am). We are looking forward to next year!
