Florida

Tay and I were so blessed to get some time away! We spent a week in Fort Meyers Beach Florida, just the two of us. Andrew stayed all week with Auntie Kelsey and did great. We has so much fun walking on the beach, relaxing in the sun, playing mini golf, and going to Busch Gardens Theme Park in Tampa. The weather was amazing. Fort Meyers actually had a freak cold front right before we got there, but the sun came out for us. It was in the low 80's all week and rained right as we were leaving. So we felt really blessed.

The beach at Fort Meyers is amazing. Since it is on the gulf the sand is like flour.





We love theme parks, so we decided to take the 3 hour adventure to Tampa to Busch Gardens. Our favorite ride was the Sheikra roller coaster. The best part of the ride is it takes you up a steep incline and pauses as you hang forward in a floorless car right before a 200 foot drop. Tay and I rode in the very front twice and loved every minute of it.





We also caught a 3D show at Busch Gardens

14 Months

Andrew turned 14 months yesterday and being parents just gets better and better. He is thriving and looking and acting more like a toddler than a baby every day. Last week when we least expected it he took his first steps. Now we know he can walk, but he knows it is faster to crawl. So he hasn't wanted to walk much since, but we know that soon he'll be running. It seems like everyday he is doing something new. He is definitely curious about everything and loves blocks, trucks, and balls. Grandma Carolyn got his a new walker and he pushes it all over the house backing it up, weaving around things and people. He continues to be joy to the whole family.
