Orange Beach

Last week we headed to the beach with some of our sweet friends--The Dunns and the Hankinsons--to my grandparent's beach house in Orange Beach, Alabama. It was Owen's 2nd beach vacation and we had a blast! This time around we actually spent a good amount of time at the beach and some at the pool as well. We had a neat little sun dome for Owen to keep him out of the sun and a portable fan to keep him cool and it was the perfect set up! We even put an umbrella on the shore for a little bit and dipped Owen's toes in the ocean and he seemed quite content, I just know he's going to be such the water baby by the end of the summer. He really seems to love the water! He provided quite a bit of entertainment for us all week--lots of squealing and laughing, he is such a happy baby! At one point, Cori, Sara, & I were reading our books in the sun by the pool and Tony was sitting with Owen in the shade. Sara told us to look across the pool at the guys, and when we did, we saw such a precious sight. Owen held all 3 grown men just absolutely captivated. I was wishing I had my camera, it was so very sweet. One wonderful daddy, one wonderful daddy-to-be, and one future wonderful daddy--all focused on my sweet little boy. They were all enjoying a little "guy time."

Owen must think that the beach is a great place for "firsts" because he rolled over from his back to his belly for the first time while we were there (last time we were at the beach he rolled over from his belly to his back for the first time). He isn't in love with being on his tummy though. He likes to be able to see everything that's going on so after he does it, he immediately starts squirming around and rolls back over. He does seem amused by his new trick though :)
