First Day of School ~ 2014

This was a big day for the Little Miss and Little Mister…

Today was their first day of school!

(a.k.a. Independence Day for Summer-Weary Parents)

The Little Miss will be in the 4-year-old (PreK) Frogs class.

And the Little Mister, in his educational debut, will be in the 2-year-old Ducks class.

They were both so excited!

Parents join the kiddos for their first day experiences,
so Mike bonded with the Frogs while I boogied with the Ducks.

Never one to be left out of the fun, our Little Sir Chubs was well
entertained by his fabulous Aunt/Godmother Erin.

We love her so!

It was a fun day for everyone and a great start to the new school year.

And now all I can say is…

LET FREEDOM RING, BABY! LET FREEDOM RING!

The Little Sir is 6 Months Old!

I’M SO EXCITED!!!!

You wanna know why?!

I’m excited because I turned 6 months old on August 18!

I just love everything about being 6 months old.

I love being a Lil’ Chunk-a-lunk.
(Yet another nickname I am called by my Mama…often…in public.
The woman has no bounds.)

Would you like a roll with that “cheese”?

I love sucking my thumb.
(And the Orthodontist will one day too. Can you say “CHA-CHING”?!)

I love grabbing my toes.

I love talking and laughing.
(Betcha didn’t know I can talk bird!)

(Type in “wright” to watch all of the videos.)

I love eating big-kid food.
(Sometimes I even let Mama help.)

Here’s a video of me eating my first solids EVER. Oscar worthy, no?

I love playing with all sorts of weird crap my siblings give me.

I love playing with my cousins.

And I love giving big, wet, sloppy kisses!

Yeah, life as a 6-month old Little Sir is pretty sweet.

Especially the eating part. Cause you know, I’ve got my figure to keep up.
I mean, it takes WORK to be over 99% for height and 89% for weight!
And I don’t wanna disappoint the ladies or anything.

That reminds me, I’m kinda hungry.
You got anything to eat?!?

Stats:
Height: 28.5 inches (>99%)
Weight: 19 lb, 12.5 oz (89%)
Head circumference: 43.7 cm, (67%)

Summer Vacay: Emerald Isle

As I write this post we’re enjoying our second visit to Emerald Isle, and final vacation for the summer (sob!). We love this place!

(Note to self: Add “buy a beach house” to long-term financial plan. Oh, and maybe actually make a long-term financial plan while you’re at it.)

But I digress. We spent our first week in Emerald Isle in early July and had such a fun time. You see, for the Wright kiddos the equation is quite simple:

Sand + Water + Wild And Crazy Freedom = PURE JOY

The Little Sir wasn’t totally sure what he thought of all the sun and wind, but he was a good Little Trooper (as always) and enjoyed some extra attention from Nena, Grammie, and Poppy over the course of the week (Pops Plaxico was away riding horses and feeding piggies in Arizona).

Beyond the hours of fun on the beach, the big “to-do” of the week was Hurricane Arthur. This Mama may have barely blinked an eye through the many earthquakes I experienced in my California days, but this storm had me freaked out! As I cowered in our little box-on-stilts it rained…it poured…it blew…it SHOOK!

Ay, caramba!

But in the end, all of my worries came to nothing (other than amusing my east coast Hubby) and we fared just fine. And the beach was beautiful the rest of the week!
