Saturday in Miami

We finally found some time to get down to the beach for a bit. It is really nice and warm out today. Elijah loves the ocean! It's so cute how he looks around between the water and the sky and the sand and then squeals with delight. He loves the wind on his face. We felt bad bringing him inside but we didn't want him to get too hot. He's definitely not used to sunshine, being a Minnesota baby.

We had to do laundry at the hotel laundry facilities last night because Elijah threw up twice yesterday. We are thinking his molars are coming in and that may be the culprit (we hope). He had flushed cheeks (before we brought him in the sun) earlier today, but wasn't feeling warm. He was also a bit crabby but then we gave him some Tylenol and he immediately perked up. He has been great since and has been playing and chatting on his bed for 30+ minutes now without a single fuss, so who knows?! Let's hope it is just some teeth breaking through!

Right now Elijah is making a sound that reminds me of an owl I always used to hear outside my window when I lived in California. He's doing it over and over and over. So cute.

I LOVE SUNSHINE! I'm not too excited about getting back to the land of ice and snow.


Beautiful boy at the beach!



Yes, he could possibly be mistaken for a girl (and he was today).






Dan took this photo a moment after I dipped Elijah's feet in the ocean. HE HATED IT. Too cold, Mommy.





Perhaps one of the funniest photos ever taken of Elijah. He obviously did not like the sunglasses.





There is a pretty girl sitting to my right and Elijah is doing his usual flirty thing with her. We're in trouble.


Still flirting.


Thoroughly enjoying the hammock!








Abby could use your prayers right now. Colin, too. Thank you!
