Feels Like Summer!

It has been hot, hot, hot here in Central Florida the past few weeks. We still have the occasional AMAZING weather day, like today, when it's sunny in the mid to high 60's, but these days quickly come and go. We have been enjoying the outdoors a lot lately. It's kind of become a routine to run around outside with Kingston for about 30 minutes when we get home from work/the sitter's everyday.

A few weekends ago Landon and I met some friends at the Duck Derby at Mead Gardens. The main event was a large rubber duck race in the pond. Landon was so intrigued! He just stared with this big smile on his face. There were other things going on as well. Landon enjoyed music played by Mr. Richard (a local musician who writes/performs kid's songs) and also got to meet some firemen. He even got to sit inside of a fire truck! And when our visit was over he was given his own fire hat and badge.

Yesterday the family took our first beach trip of 2012. The first of many, I'm sure. We packed a lunch and headed out to Cocoa. It was incredibly beautiful out. Landon squealed with joy when we got there. He kept saying, "Beach! Beach! Beach!" We had a lot of fun, however relaxing trips to the beach are definitely a thing of the past. Our little boy was constantly running around, picking up seashells, splashing in the water, basically not staying still for even a second.

He got some practice balancing on a surfboard...

Explored with Daddy...

And practice his surfing skills a little more. We got to watch Daddy have some fun out in the ocean on a long board as he caught some waves. When it was time to go it was evident that Landon objected. I think I would call it his first full blown temper tantrum. He DID NOT want to leave. He screamed, he let his body go limp and threw himself to the ground sobbing. He carried on for a good 10-15 solid minutes until he got distracted when we stopped by a friend's house. And when we put him back in the car to go home, he started saying "Beach? Beach?" He is definitely our son.

I'm 26 weeks pregnant now. Connor is weighing in a little over 2 lbs and it's hard to miss the basketball in my stomach these days. My back is starting to feel it too. Looks like I'll be seeking back rubs in the near future from my loving husband :)
