The Beach and Bodie at 17 months

we spent memorial day at the beach...if you know me...i am not a beach person, which is funny since i live so close to the beach...but i dont like to go and "lay out" i hate sand everywhere - i dont like swimming in the ocean. in fact, the only reason i go there by myself is to shore fish occasionally....like once a year...

but my boys LOVE the beach. in fact, i do not believe i have ever seen Bodie happier...he usually has a pretty serious face on...but at the beach he is all giggles and goofy grins and running around on the sand and throwing sand into the ocean.

by the way, when did i get a BLONDE boy? how did this happen? bryan had a dream a long time ago...i might have been pregnant with Bodie...or perhaps it was with Bryson...they are all blending together at this point...but anyway, he had a dream that we had a son with a blonde afro and it was super vivid. we thought it was funny at the time...now those Swedish genes are pushing through...ja sure...

bodie cracks us up on a regular basis. now that he is starting to say more words his little personality is really coming through and it is just so much fun to watch him emerge.

he remains a mama's boy, but boy does he love his dada...he is very cuddly, but his cuddles inevitably turn into something hurtful (biting, hitting, pinching...oh the pinching...its his favorite thing to do) he is an amazing climber - he loves golf already - every type of ball is a "gall-ball" - he can move around on his little push bike like no ones business and he can now successfully ride the 3 wheeled scooter....which i find amazing...he has a fascination with "baby" i.e. my BIG belly...and shoes...and kitty...and goats as we learned...and he is such a goofball. he tries to make you laugh out of nowhere and believe me...the kid has timing...


his temperament reminds me so much of Bryan. very easy going, but not a push-over. very shy but a total clown with those he knows. very adventurous and also very athletic and able...it also doesn't hurt that both of my boys got their daddy's *very* handsome looks...i have a feeling he is going to break a few hearts...
