More Destin

We got to hang out at the beach on the Emerald Coast.

Destin, FL with the fam

We just got back from a week with Grandma's family in Destin. I got to meet great aunts and uncles, cousins and more cousins. It was a week of revelry as clearly shown here - decked out for 'Hawaiian Night'.
 

Simona and Dylan

You're tasty too...let's be tasty together! 

Dylan and Simona

Mmmm...you're tasty 

Like my outfit? Thanks aunt Henrietta! 

Rock Hall

I just spent a few days with my grandparents in Rock Hall, MD. Dad and Grandpa raced in a regatta and I dressed and read accordingly. 

Conference number 2. Here I am hanging out with Reanne in Columbus. I am much happier here than I was on the flight there or back home. Everyone remember...help the moms who only have two hands and tons of baby stuff when trying to get through security....don't be one of those who cuts, its rude. 

I am not what one could call a big fan of cold water 

On the beach... 

Grilling on the deck of our 'cottage' - I am off to the side with the grill... 

Here is me with Dad on a walk in the woods at Camp Merryelande. 

We just came back from spending a few days with some of mom's good friends from college. There is Matty Matt, Dan, and Carrie. On the swing is Matt and Carrie's son, Torsten - hailing from Juneau. We stayed at Camp Merryelande on the mouth of the Potomac in Maryland. Great fun was had by all..... 

Hi! 

College friends

Mom and Dad also got to hang out with mom's super good friend and roomie from college, Amy, and her husband, Mauricio. They spent a weekend in Philly and were immediately struck by the feeling of 'Brotherly Love' they saw everywhere! 

What the heck is on my nose? and why does Nico look so innocent?

 

Luckily Grandma has enough love in her heart for all her grandbabies. She just makes me laugh and laugh! 

The girls!

Here we all are - Cora, Simona, and me. There was really no question that Cora would be a girl...Simona and I needed a third to complete our planned Halloween debut as the Charlies's Angels. We are glad that Estela and Tim complied.

New Cousin!

So much has happened in the last few weeks. First we moved - and we only now have internet so I can finally update you all on the changes in my life. The night we moved, my Aunt Estela went in labor and not so shortly after my cousin Cora was born. Here she is, already so super beautiful...almost as cute as me!

Mom loves me. 

What? My parents dressed me this way. It seems like they went a bit overboard with the spring theme! 

Dad care

This is me hanging out with dad at the conference. He was on primary kid duty while mom did the conference thing. Note the abundance of beer bottles.....don't tell mom. 

My first conference!

Here I am with Thomas. He was born one week after me to mom's friend Rachel. Rachel is also a demographer type and a RWJ scholar type and a Texas type. We all got to hang out together at the RWJ HSS conference in DC this past week/weekend. To be honest, Thomas and I weren't always able to tell them apart. 

Hey Look!

I can hold my head up! I still hate being on my stomach though..... 

cake!

Yay - a birthday for my friend Stella. Boo - she is moving away! 

Am I a boy or a girl?

Believe it or not, even in this outfit I get the question! Clearly I am a beautiful girl! What are people thinking?
