14 Months Old and Cruisin'

Trixie, Sander, Halle, Lucy and Arcadia in Westport

Sander was able to celebrate turning 14 months old in Westport, MA amongst great friends: Nat, Rachel, Halle and Trixie. We enjoyed a couple of days at the ocean and the highlight for Sander was the boat ride Nat took us on. He squealed the entire time and is now nicknamed: seagull boy.

He moves faster and faster with each day, his walking has almost turned into running. Sander said "yes" recently for the first time when Matt asked him if he'd like more mango. No more news words but lots of effort on creating new sounds, especially when he is feeling passionate about wanting something or telling us something. Another tooth took all month to pop through all the way. He now has five! Spinning in a circle is a new talent Lucy helped him to learn. Climbing up onto everything he can has been a past time as well. I can't ever turn my back!

Ferry to Nantucket!

We took a long weekend trip that started with a trip to Boston to visit Uncle Chris for an evening and go to a Red Sox game together. It was a beautiful evening and the Red Sox beat the White Sox 4-3 in the 10th inning. We left at the 9th inning due to fear of sudden meltdowns of the children. 

Sander was most excited about the Hood blimp that circled the sky above us for the entire game.

Sander is making his motor sound with his mouth in this photo, probably referencing the blimp.

The next day we took the ferry from Hyannis to Nantucket to visit Auntie Danielle and her beautiful family. The kids had so much fun together. It was a rejuvenating weekend for us and we look forward to another trip soon.

Lucy was wide awake and excited the whole ferry ride while sweet Sander snoozed for the entire ride in my arms.

The O'Dell/Toole/Kasvinsky crew. Such an adorable bunch!

Sander is enjoying his beach naps this summer. 

The last morning Sander woke up to all the kids hovering over him to say their goodbyes as he slept pretty late.

This was the sweetest bunch, all concerned for Sander. Cuteness overload.
