Happy Half Birthday!!

My little Z Man is 6 months old today! I swear, where has the time gone?!?! We sang Happy 1/2 Birthday to him this morning and he smiled and laughed in his usual morning cuteness way. Will take some hippo pics tonight and HOPE to take a day off this week and go get some real portraits done. He is sitting up so well these days and I got him a cute new outfit for the pics.

Matt and I had a great last minute trip to Galveston over the weekend. We dropped Z off at the grandparents just in time to get ready for bed so didn't get to hotel till late. We had some drama at check in (re: they "lost our confirmation...re: "I think they sold our room"). The night manager was a total jerk and didn't even apologize. We got put in the condos for the night which was not what we were planning on when we had booked our nice King Size deluxe/premium room! But, we told ourselves to let it go and not let it spoil the weekend. We ate a late dinner and people watched at the new outside bar until 2am and then had spa treatments in the am so we really did just sleep there. The Dir of guest relations was super and got us personally escorted to our upgraded room on the concierge level by 1130 so we were still able to maximize our pool time and day. Wow, if only I had a waterproof camera. The people watching at the pool was even better than at the bar from the night before!

Anyway, we had a fab time and really enjoyed our alone time even though I did still call my parents several times during the day to check on sweet boy. Mom did good by sending my a pic on my phone of him in his Elmo hooded towel. We had breakfast in our room and enjoyed sitting on the balcony in the morning and then headed home. Wish we could have been there more in the afternoon on Friday but 2 nights away was just enough. And let me tell you, nothing was better than seeing that "Hi mom, I missed you!!" smile when I walked in the door!

Better get back to working but will post some pics of the 1/2 birthday boy tonight! :) Happy Monday!
