As Kennedy calls it, WATER!

We had a great time with MeMe and Pops! Kennedy is such a little water bug! Every day at the beach she would get there and say, "WATER!" She just loves the ocean. I will say that I spent way more time in the water than I ever have before. I am not so into the sea creatures that live in that nice water my Kennedy loves so much. She loved it so much, that out I went into that nice not so clear water of St. Simon's Island. Her favorite things about the beach so far are the sand, the waves, and going out into the deeper water and floating in the waves. She would even dunk her head back into the water when a wave came. She is also a little too brave in the waves. Mom and I let her walk out as far as she would go by herself, with me right behind her of course (She had no idea I was there) and she went past her knees in the water, a huge wave (to her it was huge) came and knocked her over. I grab her and she comes up smiling like it was the best thing ever! We are off to a week at the beach this weekend so I am sure she will have TON of fun! This time she gets to play with her Dew in the sand and I think she will enjoy showing him all the things she learned!



Kennedy loved spending time with MeMe and Pops. She woke up every day we were there, looked at me and said, "MeMe?" She would say this over and over again until I went downstairs to find MeMe and Pops. So much for sleeping in! I was amazed that she remembered where we were and knew to ask for them. It just shows how grown up she has gotten lately!











I spend my days at the beach armed with 50 sunblock for Kennedy and spray and spray the entire time I am there. She ends up coming home with a nice tan! She refuses the hat and loves to be in the sun. I also put sunscreen in her hair which explains the greasy hair in all these pictures! No tent or umbrella for this baby! Then I go and buy her a bathing suit with barely a back! What kind of mommy am I? It is really cute isn't it? She also has a bikini we will be sporting on vacation. Girls are so fun! Next year baby brother and K can have matching Bailey Boys suits! What fun I have ahead of me! :)
I would also like to add that I was very far away from her when I took all these pictures. I am so grateful for my nice zoom lens and that fabulous camera we invested in! I would miss so many moments if I didn't have them. To my SLR friends who don't have a zoom lens yet, when your baby starts running, it is the best thing ever! I was mad at Greg for spending money on it, but now I am going to say I was wrong about that! Did you hear me greg? I was wrong....that doesn't happen very often! :)

Kitty, There is no hope. My kid has the zoom of all zoom lenses. She will photograph you if you are near a baby. Stay away from babies, and I know that is not going to happen. Have a wonderful trip!

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be sure I'm NO WHERE around when the camera comes out. Katie can just aim that lens at Susan. She's a twig!!!
