I took the kids to Myrtle Beach over Spring break...all 4 plus my daughter's friend...and yes, just little old me!!!!

Justin and Jacob in the ocean for the first time....a bit chilly, though!!!



Mommy and Justin in the nice warm pool....much better....he learned how to splash!!!!



And...Justin can now sit independently as of the beginning of April!!! Woo hoo!!! of course, he does the splits to get there. He was playing pat a Cake while sitting here!!!!



I am such a proud MaMa!!!!! I couldn't help but share!!!! It took Justin 26 months to learn to sit....so I am thrilled!!!

Thanks for sharing. Justin looks great! And that's from the dad of a couple of little boys, each of them he thinks a miracle.
Oh, Justin's mom doesn't look too bad either.
Hope you had a great trip to the beach, but maybe next time you want to try the Gulf.
I traumatized Charlie by sticking his feet in the cold Atlantic at the NC Outer Banks on his first birthday. For Robert we went to the Alabama Gulf Coast just before his first birthday. Air temp was upper 80's and water temp maybe low 80's. By the end of the day, the swimming pool was a bit warmer than I'd like my bath water.
But then we won't be going back to that condo. Hurricane Ivan took it away, completely, that part of the building just thin air and the pool moved down the beach, about 3 months after we were there.
Oh, this is the reason there are no seats available in our minivan,

the whole ugly gang at Orange Beach, AL, July 2004.

Oh Deanna those a GREAT pictures. Getting to sit by way of splits. Ya know one thing that is fun. Olivia is in our home school. WELL one day afterschool the girls were in the auditorium doing gymnastics.(this is last year when Olivia just started at our home school) WELL I ask the girls ya wanna see Olivia do the middle splits? Sure they say and Liv went down straight to the middle splits. WELL was MY GIRL ever popular after that... ALL the girls in the older classes(4th and 5th grade) were amazed at Liv and she made so many new girlfriends. lol.So we use her flexibility to our advantage.hee hee
