Another month, another set of adventures for the Bolton Boys. This month took us all the way to Myrtle Beach for some fun in the sun.
I am still OBSESSED, and I mean ob-sessed, with sports. I love watching, I love playing, I love trying to guess who's going to win, and I love trying to figure out all the rules. I'm now into playing baseball in the backyard with daddy. He pitches, I hit, then I run around like a crazy man trying to score. Sometimes I slide into base, which is what happened here, or should I say faceplant. Daddy took this picture of me as I got up, then gave me hugs and made me feel better. Even I have to laugh at this silly picture now that my face doesn't hurt anymore.
But I'm not the only messy one, oh no. Little Reid is quite the babbler, or growler. He is never quiet for long, so when he is quiet, watch out. Mom was watching tv, not paying too much attention as she thought he was playing with toys. Things had been quiet for too long, and when she turned around, she found Reid had helped himself to his own jar of baby food. Guess the little guy was hungry!
He looks like Winnie the Pooh and his jar of honey!
It's a good thing us boys clean up pretty nicely!
We took our annual trip with the Bolton family. We went to Myrtle Beach again this year, to the same place we went last year that had the indoor water park and the beach. It was Reid's first beach experience. He wasn't too sure at first.
He especially wasn't too sure of the ocean. He cried anytime he got anywhere near it.
I, on the other hand, can't get enough of the beach and water!
Reid eventually warmed up and enjoyed playing in the sand - still didn't like the water too much.
Our family of four!
Reid went from stationary to crawling like a maniac in just a few days! He can follow you anywhere!
Reid and his cousin Corinne who is 3 months younger than him.
Reid, just like big brother, loves anything on wheels. He'll push his cars around anywhere and make a noise that sounds like Vroom Vroom.
By our third day there, Reid realized that the sand was quite tasty. He picked it up and ate it by the handful. Eew.
Cousin Samantha and I had fun riding the waves and yelling about the big Kahunas!
The four Bolton cousins - Corinne, Cooper, Reid, Samantha.
Daddy and his boys!
Me and Bubba.
All the Boltons
One night we went to play Putt Putt.
Never mind that my swings were about waist high, I was awesome, and as always, the winner.

Reid and Gigi were along for the ride
Back home to the real world, and soccer season was winding down. Reid dressed in light blue for my last game. Go blue jays!
Team blue jays. I'm number 5.
No trophy this year, but we did get these pretty cool medals. Coach told me I did a great job this year. No doubt as I was the number one scorer!
My bestest friend Kaya has a winter birthday like me, so every year she has a big half birthday party in the park. We love to do silly things.
Playing with our friend Lulu.

Mommy and sleepy Reid got in some snuggle time.
Daddy's neurology residency is finally over! Wahoo. Gigi and Bubba came in for a week to watch him at his graduation dinner. On to Epilepsy fellowship! We're proud of you Daddy!
Little Reid is quite the funny guy. He's 10 months old this month. At his 9 month check up he was 20 lbs 1 oz and 29.25 inches long. He was also diagnosed with pneumonia so got his first round of antibiotics for any of us kiddos. If there is a cold to catch, no doubt little Reid will catch it to the fullest. Overall, he's a super happy kiddo. When he's well, he's a great sleeper and great eater. No more baby food for this guy - he's a little Mooch! He crawls anywhere and everywhere. He cruises around. He's starting to stand for a few seconds but nowhere near taking steps. He's found his little voice and babbles nonstop.

I had been looking forward to the movie Cars 2 for years now. We went to see it the first night it came out in 3D. I had a special date with just Mommy and Daddy. Life is pretty good. Stay tuned for next month's adventures.
