Lunch time.
David likes to make funny faces and gag before we even put any food in his mouth. I won't take it personally that eating what I prepare for him makes him want to vomit. I don't think I've ever noticed how the word vomit kind of looks like it could be something gross.

I just love it when Veronica interacts and plays with David. It's so cute because he adores her and loves to just stare at her.
Veronica made a tent by putting blankets over David's floor-play-whatever it is called.

Sometimes kids do the funniest things. I put David down for his nap and came in to check on him and this is how I found him...

Sleeping

He's just so cute when he sleeps. He's taken to sucking those 2 fingers, sometimes 3, and holding his blanket.

Back to Zuma

The beach always makes David hungry. We brought along some oatmeal for him to eat and he managed to get most of it in his mouth and NO sand was consumed...by him at least.
Hmmm...I wonder what she's contemplating...or maybe she's just annoyed that I keep telling her to smile at the camera.

There's that look again.
Yeah, we'll have sand coming out of her ears for the next few months.

We keep going back to the beach. I think each time is a little better. We even got all the sunscreen on before we arrived at the beach, before the kids covered themselves with sand. Jeff and Veronica, although very well sunscreened, turned into lobsters. Jeff didn't look sunburned the whole time, it was when we got home and realized he was pretty cooked.

Sorry if these beach pictures look like all the others.

Who wouldn't want to wake up to this cutie looking at you? I'm so lucky...and NO morning breath.

Hey, who goes there?
Oh! It's just mom.

Let's call this the yellow cup incident...
Veronica is playing with it...
Now her little friend wants it. Toys are much more fun when other kids are playing with them. Who do you think was the one that ended up crying....

We took another trip to the beach, obviously we are suckers for punishment, and managed to actually have fun. I didn't know having fun at the beach was possible with a 5 month old. David was happy if we held him the whole time. It was an almost perfect day at the beach, we even saw a group of dolphins swimming really close to the shore. Veronica played with her newest pal, except kept crying if her pal touched her.
