More Beach Pictures and Birthday Party!

Here is Kelsey running around the beach in Maine. It is wild to see how much she has learned and changed this summer- she went from crawling to running. Most pictures of her on the beach have this shovel in them- we're not sure why, but every bucket of sand toys we get, she goes for the shovel- no rakes, pails, or sandstamps for her- just the shovels!

Classic picture of her smiling up with her pretty blue eyes.

So the party was a little after Kelsey birthday (it was August 9th), and then we have been busy running around for a month or so, but finally, here are the pictures from her birthday!

While not apparent in this photo, she really didn't like the cupcake- she is not one for sweets really, but her dad and uncle painted her face with the frosting to make it look like she eat it so that we had the typical birthday picture.

Pre-face painting....
and the cupcake cake that mom made- not too bad for a first attempt if I do say so!

Again, here is another shovel that came with a wagon and blocks- but the shovel is her favorite! We had a great party overall- lots of friends and family!
