First trip to the beach!

We decided to take Diego to the beach for the first time today. The weather report said cloudy with thunderstorms, but I knew there wouldn't be any at the beach, and, indeed, we had a beautiful, breezy sunny day. The water was cold and Diego kinda liked putting his feet in the surf, until the waves rolled in about to his knees. He practiced walking to his Daddy while holding my hands and splashed his hands in the waves. He really LOVED the sand.





In fact, I think he ate more sand today than he did lunch!





Diego had a great time crawling and digging and standing in the sand.

(For some reason this pic reminds me or a meerkat or prairie dog)

(He really wanted into that picnic basket!)


(Although you probably can't tell, D was standing up here all by himself for a good couple of minutes)


He was a happy boy, for about 2 hours and then he wanted nothing more to do with the itchy stuff. Downside to this wonderful adventure....all the freakin' sand all over everything. We all came home and Diego had another first...his first shower (Loved it!). Thus...the resulting naked baby pics!
