Mr. Chubbs

These pics were taken when he was about 8 months old. Thanks Cindy!

These pictures were fun because they were shot in my childhood home (which was recently purchased and remodeled by my best friend... a long story)!

Joe needed to be in San Diego for work on Monday so we decided to turn that into a long weekend with the family. We stayed at the Coronado Island Marriott and had a great experience. The pool was very warm and K had his first swim! Our room had a balcony so we could enjoy some adult time after K went to bed. Overall it was a relaxing family weekend.

On to the important stuff... pictures...

He did VERY well on the plane. One of his favorite games was take the sunglasses off Mommy's face (probably not a smart thing to encourage since I wear glasses but it entertained him for a long time... like 3 whole minutes). I brought along all kinds of baby-safe, non "baby" things for him to play with. His favorite were an old cell phone, small hair brush, and the sunglasses. He is SO over baby toys :)

Chillin' in the park next to the hotel

So cool

First swim! He loved it!

Checking out the sand... and maybe eating a little

A little more navy gone!

A little more blue has left the building. I have posted before ( and before ... and before) about the large amount of navy blue in the house. We replaced most of the carpet in the house a few years ago. We didn't do the basement because we don't really use the space and didn't know what the future would be. Now that we have a kid that is ready to play, we wanted new (unstained) carpet in the basement. I really like what we ended up with. It is a Shaw Carpet and the color is Misty Glen (a taupeish, greyish color).

Close-up... these two pictures definitely show the difference in lighting & flash. In person, it looks something in the middle of the beige above and grey below... a perfect greige :)
