Daddy Daughter Ball and Dylan hits 20 pounds

Gracie had been waiting for this day for over a month. Her school sent home a paper saying there was a daddy daughter ball. She asked Deven if he would go with her and of course he said yes. Then of course there was "so much preparation." We had to find the perfect dress, after all this was "A BAll" She wanted to curl her hair and couldn't wait to put her dress on. I think they both look wonderful. We decided to make this whole day her day so we let her pick what to do in the morning. She picked Ko'Olina Beach. So we agreed. We went early so we could get parking. Gracie tried snorkeling, and was practicing her swimming. It was a great day.
Gracie all ready for the ball
Gracie thought we should take some pictures of just daddy as well. What can I say a "Natural GQ" I think he is pretty handsome.
They are ready. So I sent them on there way. Dylan and I were going to have a mommy son outing as well. I was going to take him shopping. Good thing he is still little. I don't think he will fight me on this one.
So our little guy just isn't so little anymore. I had his WCC this past week and at 7 mths he weighed in at 20 lbs. and is just over 27 inches long. This puts him in the 75%. Deven and I can't help but call him our "little BIG BUDA" He is so chunky and we love it. This is him passed out after a tough day at the beach.
Today was a day of discovery for him. We let him play in the sand. He would pick it up and just look at it and then he would rub his feet in it. He played for a long time.
Taking a break from the water
Our little "BIG BUDA" We love the chunk!!!! He really is a happy baby, but a mamma's boy. We always get comments on how happy he is, but he doesn't like to be left with other people. He keeps a close eye on me. He has to make sure I am paying attention to him at all times. He always wants me to talk to him and doesn't like it when I leave the room.
