It's Time for a Vaca!

We knew Mallory was a beach girl before she was even born. When I was 8 and a half months pregnant, Brian and I decided to have one last "just the 2 of us" mini vaca and headed to the beach. The moment we drove over the bridge and onto Hilton Head Island, Mallory started doing somersaults in my belly! Since she can't actually remember that trip we figured it was time to take her back (cause we're positive she'll remember this time) . We headed out on Christmas day and Mallory was an awesome travel companion (although if your looking for stimulating conversation you better learn squeal-ese). We had beautiful weather and got to spend lots of time walking on the beach. Mallory saw some dolphins swimming, got lots of nice compliments wearing her stunner shades and even made a friend (who was traveling in style in his Baby Bjorn too)! And its official, Mal is a water baby! We all know she loves bath time so when we suited her up and took her for a swim in the heated pool, she was in heaven! I've promised her this will the first of MANY beach trips (subtle side note to Brian) but for a first beach trip, this one rocked!
Her first sight at the ocean (i guess we should turn her around to actually see it)!

The O'Neills

Grandmama and Granddaddy came too!
