Here comes the story of the hurricane!

This weekend was the Annual Skinner family trip. This year we went to the beach. We also went last year but I did not get to see much because I was still growing in my Mama's tummy! We were able to stay for two days but then we had to leave early because of Hurricane Gustov. I learned a new word though, evacuation. I hope I never have to hear that word again. Tantie Erin and Mr Fred had to leave their home too but luckily everything turned out okay for them.
This weekend I fed myself Beefaroni for the first time. As you can see, I did not do the best job but practice makes perfect. I thought it was real tasty! I love this real food stuff!

I really enjoyed hiding from everyone behind the game chest. I would poke my little head around the corner and play Peek-a-Boo with the people in the den! How much fun!

While I was at the beach, I started to not feel so good so Mama and Dada took me to a Doc-in-the-box. He was this really old man from Holland that was really weird. It was the only place open though. I had the beginnings of an ear infection so I got to take the yummy pink stuff again!

I was also very sensitive to my cousin, Rob's feelings. He was crying on Sunday and I crawled over to him, put my hand on his arm and smiled real big. I was trying to make it all better.

In return, Rob shared one of his soft balls with me. I like playing with his toys. It makes me feel grown up! After much deliberation, he let me play with the Cars Ball!That night I wore the cutest Alabama outfit but Mama did not get a picture of me in it! Luckily, Aunt Betsy saved the day and sent these to Mama. Alabama won! ROLL TIDE ROLL!
Also that night, Rob thought is was funny to wear my sunglasses! I don't like wearing them yet so I was happy to share! They even matched his outfit! So color coordinated!

At the Oasis, I loved being in the pool and floating around the lazy river. I even got to see Dada beat everyone in PIG! I also got to meet Miss Payton and her fiance, Mr Joey. I usually am shy around boys but not Mr Joey! He made me giggle! I loved going down the slide with Mama and Dada! Rob got to go down it himself but I am too young for that! Maybe next year! Right after this picture was taken, Mama and Dada took me back inside because I got sunscreen in my eyes. That really hurt! After I recovered, we decided that the best thing for us to do was to go home and I am really glad that we did. The weather ended up getting really bad! Even though we left early, we had a blast! I do not think that that I will be going back to the beach until Miss Peyton's wedding in June but I can't wait! Maybe then I will be able to slide all by myself!

I was reading over my blog and realized that I have not told you lately what all is can do and how big I am! I have two little teeth in the bottom center. They are not full size yet but they are getting there. I say Bye Bye and wave. I am actually really good at waving at people and clapping too! I will only say Mama when I am really upset and sometimes if you listen really hard you can hear me say Dada and Papa. I like to whisper them! I am able to pull up on anything and am starting to walk while holding things. I can walk all the way around the coffee table. I am eating anything I want now which is so exciting. I weight around 21 pounds and am 30.5 inches. I am really tall for my age but what else did you expect!
