We went to see your Aunt Stacy, Uncle Cleon, Nova, and the Phoenix family. You swam in your Nonni Mary and Grandpa's pool for the first time. Your Nonni bought you this super cool inflatable thingy that you put your legs in and you would just kick and kick and try to play with everybody.
Unfortunately this round, you pretty much wanted to hang out with your cousin Nova and she wasn't too interested in hanging out with you. You'd get all excited when she got near, but she's a pretty busy toddler and couldn't wait around, so you'd always just watch and wait for her to come back.
A couple of my old school friends stopped by too. Of course Beth was there, but you got to meet Brissa too. Brissa is my oldest friend from Phoenix, we met when I was 19--that's 13 years ago! Me & Beth & Brissa used to live together and work together in college. Now we're all growed up! Brissa has a baby now, Marina, who is 14 months old. You were kind of smitten by her.

My friend Kasey drove us back to San Diego and stayed with us a few days. She adores you and loves spending time with you. We took you to the beach in Del Mar, which is the closest beach to our house.
To top it off we went to your cousin Jack's birthday party up in San Clemente and then a fourth of July party down on Harbor Island with the Placidos the next day. Jack is a busy toddler too and you also loved him, but he's super busy and can't wait, just like Nova. We squished you two together just to get this one shot.
And then he was gone!
It's ok. You'll catch up buddy. Soon enough you'll be walking and be able to hang with the toddlers :-)!
We love you. Thanks for being such a 'go with the flow' kid. We have a lot of visitors here in San Diego in the summer and the ability to go with the flow is a skill I treasure in you.

You have been busy this summer! Great photos, as always.
oh my gosh, WAY TOO BUSY :-)!
all this vacationing is making me feel like getting a job....okay not really, but you know what I mean :-)
Fun memories!!
My brother John called me and said, "I held Dax for about 40 minutes at the Placido Party at the Harbor. He was so good. There about three hours, and he just was handed from one person to another. He never fussed. What a great kid." I, of course said, "Yes, that's my Dax." Your mommy is right. Your are a great "go with the flow" guy. I hope you can keep it up. Your life will be so much easier if you don't things. Love you Dax. Happy 9 months old. Can't wait to spend some time with you at the beach in a couple of weeks. Can't wait to see you crawl.
If you don't fight things LET IT BE Go WITH THE FLOW LET GO AND LET SOMEONE ELSE (what you resist will persist) Someday Dax you will know what your Nonnie means
