Second Mother's Day

Sunday was my second Mother's Day and it was so perfect. Stephen woke up with Miley so I got to sleep in until 9 am and then they brought me breakfast in bed. Miley with Daddy's help of course made me a very lovely Mother's Day card. It was by far the best Mother's Day card :). After breakfast we all went went down to the beach for the first time this summer. When I say all of us I mean Stephen, Miley, Daisy (the dog), two friends, and myself. We had such a blast!!! I was a little concerned about how Miley would do since she doesn't like water splashing her face and isn't fond of grass without shoes on. She is a fish!!! We couldn't get her out of the ocean. The first few times the water splashed her face, she didn't like it too much but then she realized she can hold her breathe. *Warning the next few sentences describe in detail Miley underwater, it gave me a heart attack but please know that she is okay.*

Anyway after she realized how to hold her breathe she would walk out to her chest in the water. When a rouge wave came (the waves down here are equivalent to the wake in a bathtub so these were about 6 inches) she would fall over and go under. Stephen or myself would freak then scoop her up, she would then proceed to laugh and try to get back in the water. As the day went on she wanted to float on her back or walk in the chest high water without holding your hand. If I tried to pick her up she would do the limp noodle move and start screaming "Ow, ow, ow". Even Daisy loved being in the water and we found out that she can in fact swim.

It was a really get trip and none of us got sun burnt. We're hoping to go again for Memorial Day weekend if the weather is nice. It was a very nice day, I wish everyday was Mother's Day. And now Miley doesn't mind getting her face wet in the bathtub so bathtime has gotten a whole lot easier.
