Our Little Beach Baby

Well, Bryan and I did take a stroll on the beach, but we went as a family. It was one of those wonderful moments of being a family. One for the memory books. So why was this beach trip so special? Because, Friday was Garrett's first trip to the beach - EVER. He was completely mesmerized by all the sights and sounds. Garrett seemed to be in deep thought the whole time we were there, taking in all the 'new' sensations! He didn't make so much as a peep, unless you laid him down and obstructed his view. Bryan took him into the water so he could feel the cooler water on him, when a wave hit them- Garrett's first reaction was a shocked and scared one, but he soon changed his face as he realized he was okay and Daddy was still holding him.

Feeling the water and sand between his toes.

Drying off in his birthday suit and
feeling more sand between those toes.

I wonder if our little boy will one day love all things water?

Ahh...so sweet. I love his little shades. :-)

I'm so jealous of you living close to the beach! Living in the midwest, my kids will probably be in their teens by the time I'm brave enough to take them to the ocean. We have lots of lakes, but it's not the same.
