Entry for July 31, 2007

I posted a few new pics at photobucket...I have more..just havent gotten them in
yet :) Meanwhile, Ray is using 2 word sentences "bye bye mommy" "Hi
Daddy" "mommy no" "BIG bus" and is starting to name characters other
than just favorites like bert & ernie, cookie and of course as always,
Melmo (heehee) He LOVES to wrestle and tickle with us on the floor
pillows and has a very cute sense of humor. He likes to dance to his
fridge DJ music and if we're in the car and a song he likes comes on,
he'll start bopping up and down in his car seat. The thing that cracks
us up the most is when we sing the wheels on the bus and he gets to the
babies saying "Waah Waah Waah"..it's HILARIUOUS! I have to get more
videos on the site, however, we're between video cameras so there may
be a lapse in videos for this time frame :(
We just got back from NY. We saw Grandpa Sterling and our Long Island
family (Meris, Allen, Ariel, Erica, Steph, Doug, Nicholas & the newest
addition Lucas) then headed up and spent time with Aunt Beth, Uncle
Steve, Emily & Annie! Ray got to see monarch caterpillars & cocoons
(too bad we didnt get to see the actual monarchs)Ray did very very good
for the drive. It took us just over 8 hours to get there and he didnt
cry or complain at all. (maybe a little in the end before he fell
asleep almost in Grandpa Sterling's driveway!) He really is a great
traveler!We stopped along the way and he got to sit on the biggest rock
he'd ever seen and also on the branch of a big tree (mommy right there
holding of course!)all in all, a good trip. When we got back, we went
to a small beach for the 1st time! When he saw the water, he started to
giggle like crazy! and BOY did he love that! He definitely has my water
gene. He's a natural...he already is trying to dog paddle! He lost his
balance once and went under the water...dont worry, I was right there
to scoop him up, and after he was done coughing, right back in he
wanted! We played in the sand for a little bit after that. which by the
way, he made sure to tell us was 'Hot'! We have plenty of pics and
video of that so I'll get it up tonight :)
P.S. below is the link to where we keep ALL the Boogie photos!
