The morning got off to slow start and I went grocery shopping with Grandpa and by the time I got back and got Sophie ready for the beach she was tired and ready for a nap. She napped in her pack and play for about 45 minutes while Chad and I made chicken salad. It was about 12pm when we finally made it out to the beach (probably the worst time of the day for a baby). We introduced Sophie to the ocean and she wasn't a big fan at first. You can tell by her puckered lip that she was a little scared (Mom says I didn't like the ocean when I was little). She spent most of the afternoon in her pool under the tent. She absolutely loves being in the pool and can entertain herself for hours. As you can see from the pictures she is getting a lot more mobile and can get around in there. We went in and napped for several hours out on the deck - Chad in one chair and Sophie and I in the other (I think Nanny has a picture on her camera I need to get).
We went back out around 5pm which was probably the best idea with a young child. The sun wasn't too hot and we didn't have to worry as much about sunburn. Chad started out with Sophie sitting in the sand and letting the waves come up to her. She started getting used to it and then he took her on out in the water. She loved it!!! We stayed out in the ocean with her for a while and she never got tired of it. She also sat in the sand and played for a bit. She definitely ate the sand and it didn't even phase her...and I wonder why she doesn't like her oatmeal and rice cereal? Maybe I should let her play with it and eat it herself.
