Summer Fun

Eatin' melon and relaxing at Bear Lake:


Ramsey at the Cache County Fair where he enjoyed looking at the animals the most!

Ramsey in his tuxedo at our friends' wedding:

Ramsey has been growing a lot lately. I think he will be moving into the 24 months size soon. He has also been growing in his teeth - he's working on a molar in every corner of his mouth!
Scott has taught Ramsey the numbers one through ten. He bought him flash cards with the numbers on them. He gets extremely excited when you go through the flash cards and he can shout out the numbers. He sees and recognizes numbers everywhere - on license plates, doors, at the pool, etc. He is starting to recognize letters as well and can repeat quite a few of them.
He had his first (and hopefully last) phone call to 911 last week. I swear I locked my phone before I handed it to him. The next thing I know he is babbling into the phone to a 911 operator! Luckily, they didn't send anyone to the house.

Return to Myrtle Beach

Ramsey had a wonderful week at Myrtle Beach. He loved the ocean and the sand. Every day was the same routine: eat, beach, nap, eat, beach, nap, and pool. He enjoyed digging big holes in the sand to stand in. And he learned the sign for airplane as he watched planes fly by the beach every day. Uncle Jake taught Ramsey the fist bump. Aunt Abby taught Ramsey the number 6 (from the cover of her book). The rest of the week he would point to the numbers on the microwave clock and say "six".


Every afternoon, the tide would go out leaving some really shallow pools of water. Ramsey really enjoyed playing in these with his grandparents and looking for shells.



Ramsey also enjoyed running around with the "smith boys gang" at the Street family dinner parties. At the country boil, he ate 3 ears of corn! Thanks to the Hoffmanns and Streets for a wonderful time!
