Fun Times at the Beach

Day 2: The Caverns

I don't know about Katy, but I was terrified in the cavern... I didn't realize how afraid of heights I was until we were in there. All I could imagine was my clumsy self bumping into the railing that only came to the top of my thigh, and flipping over the edge.

Sure would have been nice if they would have told us that we couldn't have a stroller in the caverns before we got to the entrance, although I am REALLY glad they did tell us because it would have been near impossible trying to get it through the caverns.

He really had a blast!!

Our First Vacation

This was the first night of our vacation in Lampassas, which was about half way to Port Aransas. Koen was so excited to finally be out of the car.

Brute

John is always making fun of me saying that I'm a brute or like a bull in a China closet. He says that I have no control over my body, and today I realized just exactly what he was talking about! I was holding Koen and there was fly coming towards us and I swatted at it and busted Koen right in the eye with my thumb. My first thought was that I just poked his eye out. I didn't actually hit his eye, I hit right below it. It immediately started to swell up and it has a small cut from my finger nail. I felt awful because he was crying hysterically! John comes in there to see what in the world happened, then gets Koen and takes him to distract him from his pain. Then he starts making fun of me about being a brute and I can't hold the tears back any more. Every time I look at that poor child's eye even though it isn't as bad as it sounds, it makes me want to cry : (

Koen's New Shoes

I think they were a hit with Koen!!!

Thank ya... Thank ya very much!!!

I'm not sure what he thought he did, but whatever it was he was taking a bow for it...lol!!!

Finally... he said "mama"

For those of you who don't know, John & I have an amazing 7 1/2 month old little boy. We could not have asked for a better child... he HARDLY EVER CRIES! He is pretty much a mamas boy... or at least when it's time to eat or go "night night," and he still said dada first but whatever! I think he might have even said "aty" which is Katy one of his 3 favorite cousins before he said mama. I finally gave up on trying to get him to say mama every time I held him, and then... he said it!!!!!!! I was getting ready this morning & he was sagged that I wasn't holding him, I was too : ( He was laying in our bed with daddy, kinda whining, and watching me get ready. That's when it finally came out... "mama" FINALLY... he said "mama." Yay!! for Koen!!
