Grampy is Here!

My dad arrived in Ormond Beach late yesterday afternoon, and we celebrated by going to our favorite local pizza place here--Stavro's! Here are some pictures from our first full day with Grampy here today....

a little crab we spotted right next to us on the beach

as soon as Shelby got close to the crab, he scurried down into his hole...Shelby immediately
started yelling: "Bug down! Bug down!" ;)

trying to climb out of the pool on her own!

a classic Grampy photo :)

Puddle Jumpers are the best inventions ever for toddlers! Shelby can essentially
swim on her own with it! It's amazing!

Shelby discovered the rope in the pool today, and for some reason she is OBSESSED with
the balls on it. Obsessed as in she kept trying to kiss it/put her mouth on it. As you see,
Grampy was quite amused/grossed out by the situation!

I don't have a picture of this to post now {I have one on my phone that I might try to get up on the blog later}, but today for lunch we were all eating leftover pizza from Stavro's. Wouldn't you know that my child--the one who despises eating and is as picky as you could possibly imagine--willingly ate countless bites of Grampy's meat lover's pizza today for lunch?! {It's important to note that Shelby will only occasionally eat pizza, and even when she does she will only eat bites of the crust. She won't even touch bites with any cheese, sauce, etc. on it. So this is a huge change from her norm!} We have a running joke in our family that Derek & my dad love to get "the meat sweats," and apparently Shelby is no different.

On a completely separate note, Shelby turned 22 months old on Tuesday the 17th! I will wait to take her 22 month pictures until we get back to Biloxi at the end of the month , so her monthly blog post will be up sometime after that.
