Texas Roadhouse

We were very excited to find the Texas Roadhouse right here in Virginia Beach. Seth and I went on our first date there seven years ago, so it's always been a favorite of ours. Banks enjoyed getting to know Andy the Armadillo.

Standing

Banks has figured out how to pull himself up. Seth went to get him out of his crib one day and he was standing up, holding onto the bars.

The Beach

Banks loves going to the beach. We took Jay to the beach on Sunday and had a great time. Banks is interested in Body Boarding and loves playing in the sand (and sometimes eating it too).

Visitors

We were very lucky to have Mimi and Gator come in for the weekend. We had a great time and Seth and I were even able to seek out on a date! Thank you Mimi and Gator!
Uncle Jay came up from North Carolina to see us. Here he is reading to Banks in the tub.

Everything in the mouth!

Banks has been waiting for seven long months, but finally it has arrived--his very first tooth!

While Dad was in Maine...

Banks and I stayed very busy. Banks is becoming a very good eater. Here he is enjoying some sweet potatoes. We visited the Virginia Beach Aquarium. The Discovery Channel was showing Shark Week and Banks had such a great time watching, that I thought he would enjoy the fish in real life! We started going to storytime at the local library. Banks made a new friend named Clark. We have already had them over for lunch. We missed Seth so much, so Banks wore his "I love Daddy" outfit to pick him up at the airport.

Maine

Seth had a class in Maine and was gone for two weeks. He found time to grab some lobster while he was there.
