Here I am getting my first taste of cottage cheese. It is very different, I don't know if I like it yet.



Well, I got a second bite and I really didn't like it any better than the first but then Mommy mixed some pear juice with it and I ate it like a champ.



I am going from a sitting position to a crawling position. I just can't get that right leg out from under me!


My right leg is still trapped but I am making forward progress.



That leg still isn't all the way out but it is out enough for me to move! Almost crawling for real now, the combat crawl is about to be a thing of the past!

First Beach Day

Today was my first (of many) trip to the beach. We plan on going a lot this summer, as usual, so we got our annual beach pass. Mommy loaded me down with spf 50 lotion before we left the house then sprayed me with spf 70 broad spectrum and added some spf 50 facestick. THEN she put me in my bathing suit, it has spf 50 built right it. She sat me under the umbrella for a while then I got to sit in my little pool for a bit, when it was time to eat she bundled me in a towel and a blanket and I took a nice nap. It was a very windy day and the umbrella started to blow away so mommy turned my pool on it's side and I sat behind it for shade. When it was time to leave I was a mess so mommy took me down to the water to rinse me off. It was a bit chilly but I dug my toes right into that wet sand and laughed everytime I saw a little wave come by. I liked it when mommy held me close to her and told me how much she has always loved the beach, I liked looking at the big waves and sandpipers. When it was time to go home I got to experience another tradtion. Apparently Mommy and Aunt Jen have always stopped for ice-cream on the way home. So we went to this place and got ice-cream. Mommy, Aunt Jen, and Maddy all let me have a little taste! I slept all the way home, it was such a fun and relaxing day!




Here I am at the ice-cream place on the way home!


My cousin was very eager to play with me!


Don't I look cute in my sunglasses and hat?


My first feel of the wet sand. I didn't even try to eat any, I just enjoyed playing with it!


After a bath and dinner, I am still a happy girl! I can't wait to go back!
