More Waves!

Best $1.75 we ever spent. Lemon ice.
Lily vs. The Ocean
The one minute Reese wasn't crying today. Just kidding.
Lily planning her attack on the waves.
Awww.....soaked, but how adorable.

We have an action packed weekend planned so I didn't want to delay in posting, or let's be honest, it wouldn't happen.
So today we went to Point Pleasent. Such a great day, but of course, not a great day for at least 1 of the 2 babes. You know, I read a decent amount of mom blogs, and of course you want to write about the fun, happy, funny, and sometimes embarrassing stuff. I am going to give it to you straight. Today was probably one of the WORST days for us, Reese was just downright miserable from the time we left until we got home. And she is getting over some wierd virus, and spiked a 103+ temp this week, and she is teething, but she was off the charts. Usually, if the woobs get bored at home, we can expect the whiney, boo-hoo-i'm-bored-let's-go-out-stuff, we go someplace, even Target, and all is well. No crying. No outbursts. Not today. Reese not only hated the ocean, she just shook her head no and ran back to the boardwalk, but also had a full-blown meltdown smack in the middle of the boardwalk with me. Lily on the other hand was too busy yelling MORE WAVES and running into the ocean. I am not saying Reese was having a miserable time the whole day, but good god, she was alot of work. Wanting to be carried, put down, carried, put down. And I know it is teeth related too since the happiest she was was eating a Lemon ice-y. Lily took the opportunity to be the best kid in the world, dragging her dad at least knee deep into the surf (we had no towels or bathing suits for that matter) and having a blast.
So we come home, do quick baths, and get the Elmo ready, and Reese is just a snuggly happy kid that even walked over to the stairs at 730 for nite-nite. Thank god we are back on that schedule too. Well, that was after a good hour of screaming bloody murder home. Please please let tomorrow be a happy day. We have another day of fun planned...you will just have to wait for the pics...

And in other more exciting news, we have come to the conclusion that Reese can climb out of her crib. I walked in the other night to check on them (Reese had been up crying), it was about 330am, and I open the cracked-door only to have Reese standing in front of me, saying, Hi Mommy. Uhhhhh.....of course at that hour I was delierious, also since she had us up from 1130pm until then. I am not sure how she did it either because she didn't FALL out, she must of climbed out, like a catburgler, and lowered herself to the ground and then started playing with her toys. We are hoping it was a FREAK thing, because I am not sure what we would do if she did it again. And I am soooo not ready for toddler beds, it would be chaos. So for now, we are keeping the crib (I am not ready for my baby to be in a bed yet!! Yikes!!), and hoping it never happens again.

Two words....CRIB TENTS! Best $$ I ever spent. My girls climbed out at 1 1/2 but with crib tents they stayed in cribs until they were 3.
