Celebrating our 9 year anniversary...

June 25 th was our official 9 year anniversary but we celebrated the Saturday before with a sail on the boat.  We've been together almost 17 years...how is this possible because I still feel like I'm 22!!!  Anyway, it was the first time I left Capri for longer than two hours.  She did great, and wow, did it feel good to get an extended break after 18 months!  Haha!  We sailed to Kelley's Island for the day and we were home by 8:30...just in time to put Crewsie down to bed :)

I felt so light weight that day not carrying around a diaper bag, sippy cups, etc.!  I sat back and was able to relax with Greggy :)

We talk off from our marina (Battery Park) and eased to Kelley's...we passed the Marblehead lighthouse on our way there!

It was about a 2 hour sail and was gorgeous!

Our golf cart ride from our boat to the front of the marina on Kelley's...then it was a short walk to downtown for lunch and drinks!

Drinking at The Casino (which is not actually a casino)!

Catching great wind!

Call me the Captain!  Haha!  

Such a great boat that we bought three years ago after selling our wooden folkboat.  It's a 27' Catalina and we love it......Crew's Ship :)

Put-in-Bay!!!

A few weekends ago we were headed to Cedar Point for the day...then my friend called me that was already there and said they closed the park because of a major water main break!  So instead of letting it ruin our day we decided to head to Put-in-Bay!  We had a great day of golf cart rides, playground fun, drinking, and eating!

Silly kiddos!

What is it about rock throwing that is so appealing to kids?!?!

Summer fun...

We have had such a fabulous start to our summer!  We have been on the go for the last six weeks and have a lot of fun stuff coming up too!  

Crew loves walking Tiki :)

Sissy tasting her first piece of spanikopita!

Playground fun....

Lots is walks around the neighborhood and playing outside!

And lots of swimming!

We celebrated national donut day with some of our friends!

Playing ball with Tiki...

Does it get any cuter than these two?!?!

Capri...18 months!

I can't believe this little munchkin is already 18 months old!  She still seems like a baby to me in some ways and other ways I can see her growing into a big girl!  

A few recent stats:

Haven't taken her into her 18 month check up yet so not sure of her height and weight.

She has great eating habits and will try just about anything I give her but she obviously has her little kid faves like French fries!

I've noticed she's starting to put more words together. Like "Hi Momma..."where Crew"..."up momma".  She also "counts."  At least she thinks she is!  Haha!  She babbles like crazy and I have no idea what she is saying!

Capri definitely has waaaaay more of an opinion than Crew ever did!  Not sure if it's a girl thing or second child?!  She already let's me know if she wants a bow or headband...sandals or tennis shoes....juice or water.  It cracks me up because Crew just went with the flow!

She just recently stopped breastfeeding.  I stopped at 12 months with Crew and had no expectation to nurse her this long but it just kind of happened.  So she was just shy of 18 months.  Crew stopped all on his own so it was a little easier with him.  Capri still seemed I enjoy it so I was the one that had to cut the cord!  She did absolutely fine but I was a mess the first few days.  At night I would come down crying to Greg :(. It's such a bittersweet time.  

She can be a real HAM sometimes!

She has also peed and pooped on the potty!  I am by no means going full force with the potty training but we did the same type of thing with Crew.  We introduce the potty early and keep it in the bathroom and encourage her to sit on it.  And sure enough she sometimes pees and poops!  Crew was potty trained at 24 months so I'm hoping she will be too.

I will spare any viewers the full poopy pic ;)
