He is such a cool little dude. I know I say this all the time but it's so true. He is so laid back. He rarely, if ever cries. He laughs all the time and gets the most of life. Ocean, no big deal I'll jump in, pool-dunk me I love it!

His favorite things right now are bubbles, all things water and dancing! He dances constantly to anything that sounds like a beat. He even got voted toddler with the most rhythm in his day care class! He loves watching So you think you can dance, Barney and Sesame Street.

He currently has 10 teeth and loves to show you his big smile any chance he gets. He eats everything you put in front of him, we haven't found anything he hates. He loves to flirt with the ladies and when we go out and eat he spends most of the time hamming it up for the server. He still doesn't say very many actual words. Mama, dada, papa, uh-oh is about all we get but he sure thinks he can say a lot and talks all the time!

He walks everywhere and is becoming more and more independant. He climbs stairs but has no clue how to get back down :)! He closes everything. a door or cabinet can't be open or he has to shut it! This is such a neat time in our lives. I don't want to forget the giggles, the firsts, the squeals of excitement with everything new! It is so awesome being Kingston's mom, I am in awe of him everyday!

Kingston's first Beach Trip

Last week we went to Amelia Island Plantation, FL with my mom and dad, my sister and her 3 boys and Alfred's mom and dad. We met my friends Annie and Mark and there family there. It was amazing! The Plantation was more than we ever could have asked for. Very private, very

family oriented, very relaxing--In a word Perfect! Here's some pics from the week!
As you can tell Kingston loved it!! We all did!!! He dived right into the sand and the Ocean and didn't look back!! Good thing mom and dad were there to save him!! What a great week!

One Crazy Weekend!

My parents were nice enough to come down this weekend and keep Kingston while Alfred and I did the Muddy Buddy on Sunday. My mom finally talked me into letting her trim Kingston' hair to get it out of his face. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be and I didn't even cry! Kingston was a bit squirmy though. Stay tuned for a picture of the finished product later in the week! I will say he is still one handsome little guy!

Now on to the main event of the weekend. Alfred and I woke up at 5:00AM and headed to Cheatham County to compete in the Muddy Buddy as Team Ralph (Get it Alfred and Rachel :)! It was a packed house.
We finished the race in about 1 hour 40 minutes which wasn't a great time but we didn't come in last and we finished which on leg 3 where I had to push my bike up a 1/2 mile 9 degree hill I wondered if even that would happen. But we did it and the obstacles were a blast and not as hard as I thought they would be.

Here's me crawling under the net at obstacle 3!

The best part for me was getting to do this with Alfred and knowing that no matter how long it took me to finish he would be waiting for me cheering me on and ready to jump in the mud pit together! Of course the Red Hook Beer Garden at the end wasn't bad either!

And when it was all over we got to come home to our biggest fan!
