Beach

We made another trip to visit our friends in Wilmington. This time we actually made it to the beach. At first, I was a little bummed that we would only be there for the weekend, but afterwards I realized that one day at the beach with a toddler feels like the whole week. We only stayed out there for a few hours, but it was the perfect amount of time. And afterwards, Cara took a really long nap!

Spray Park

=A glorified water fountain for children to play.

She needed some encouragement at first to get in the water...

but eventually went in all on her own.

At one point she forgot I was even there...

and made some friends!

We have only been back a few times since that first day, but now she cries when I tell her it is time to go.

Nothin' like fresh corn to accompany a nice meal at grandma's house.

Happy Summer

With a happy girl :)

What have we been up to?

Cara is now reading books to herself. I don't know if she knows how to read or not because I can't understand what she is saying, but it is probably hard to read upside down.

We still go out to eat quite a bit. With school and work, I tend to make excuses and convince myself that I "deserve it."

Cara has started putting her hands palms up when talking. I don't think she knows what the gesture means, but it is very cute because we don't know what she is saying, but it seems like she is asking a question.

We went on a quick trip to Atlanta this weekend. We stayed at a really nice hotel (really nice for the Agbekes = mediocre for everyone else). Cara enjoyed herself, and especially like swimming in the pool before checking out Sunday morning.

We stopped by The Varsity before heading back to Charlotte for a quick Father's Day Lunch. Cara ate only french fries and enjoyed looking at everyone walk by.
