Beach baby!!!

My parents called us Saturday afternoon and invited us on a beach trip. We took Cooper to the beach when he was 4 months old but he didn't enjoy it much. This time was VERY different. As soon as he realized there was water involved he couldn't be happier. He play with seaweed, scooted after water and shells, and splashed in the waves. We all had a blast and I can honestly say he is a beach baby!!

McGraner Family Photo Shoot

There is another recent post below about our New York trip (with lots of pictures) so keep reading if you want too. On our New York trip we also took the opportunity to take some professional family photos. I think they turned out great (despite the fact I was up all night with a stomach virus)!

New York Trip (Lots of pictures included!)

We're back!!!! I know it has been quite awhile since an update but we are back. We visited Danny's family for the fourth of July weekend and had a blast. We flew (Cooper did great on the plan) up on Thursday the first and back on Monday the 5th. While we were there, Danny's brother Josh got married to Kasie (who Cooper is madly in love with), went to Letchworth state park, and enjoyed some good ole family fun playing corn hole :)!! We had a wonderful trip and were sad to see it come to an end. We have over 200 pictures from the trip and about 300 from the wedding (I was the photographer). Don't worry...I won't post 200 pictures (go to my facebook page if you want to see them all) but here are the high points of our fabulous trip!! Enjoy LOTS of pictures from our trip!!

He was fascinated by the fireworks.

Cooper loves his new blanket (Grandma sewed it for him)! He crawled all around with it on top of his head.
