Firsts.

The Group out for lunch.
This weekend brought on a bunch of firsts for our little man, Breckan. He is officially sitting up on his own now and saying da-da and na-na. A week ago I would have told you it will be a long time coming before he starts with words and then suddenly overnight he was a changed man! So cute. I can't help but smile every time I hear him talk to me.

We had 2 couples, Rich and Lyndsey and Heather and David visit us this weekend. Heather and David have a son, Tre who is a few weeks younger than Breckan. It was so fun to see them interact with each other. Tre is a big boy and already crawling! It is crazy how different babies develop.

Breckan and Tre Hanging out
Saturday morning I did a little photoshoot for Tre in the park near our house. He was such a ham and did a great job! I was able to get some great shots of the cutie. I also was able to take some friend shots of Breckan and Tre together. SO CUTE!! Saturday afternoon we took the group on a boat ride through John Lloyd State Park. We couldn't have asked for a better day, weather wise. We sand docked in the park and were able to wade in the inter coastal sand. Breckan loved it, even though the water was colder than normal. He was splashing and playing around like he was made for it! Across a small area of land was the beach, where we all took a walk and let the kiddos see the ocean. They also sat in the sand for the first time. Tre was grabbing it and trying to eat it, while Breckan was just sitting there until he face-planted and got it all up his nose! We couldn't help but crack up at him. I am sure we will experience a lot of these moments down the road.

It is crazy how the time goes when you are out on the boat. When 5pm rolled around we headed back to the house to prepare for our party that night. Mark prepared baked ziti and a salad for everyone and we partied it up while Breckan slept soundly in his crib. As I get older, the parties seem to end earlier, no matter who comes! It cracks me up how my son has changed my bedtime routine. I don't remember the last time I slept until 9am. That would be HEAVEN! I don't think I could even if I wanted to!

Sunday morning we were woken up at around 6:45 to Breckan talking in his crib and rambling "Da-Da" over and over again. Mark was so excited that Dada was his first word. I was just as excited, except I wish it were Mama! :P Mark kept saying, "Breckan, who is your favorite." SO MEAN OF HIM!!! Below is my talking little guy....

Our friends left that afternoon (after a fabulous breakfast of eggs, bacon, toast and oatmeal) and Mark and I spent the rest of the day running errands and cleaning up the house from the eventful weekend. Next time, it is our turn to head up north to Orlando to visit Heather and David!
