Beach Retreat

Dearest Joshua David~

Hello little fellow!  Welcome to your first full day at the beach!  We all went for a walk today and you got to see the ocean and beach for the very first time!  It was bright out, so we didn't keep you out for long, but we took some pictures and let you see and listen to the ocean.  It was a beautiful day to be out and you fell back asleep in the stroller once we walked back to the house.

We walked up and down the road near the beach and saw all the big houses.  We picked out which ones we'd like to get.  :-)

Sweetie, I couldn't bring milk down with us since it was all frozen and we didn't leave town right away.  So, this was your first full day of being on formula.  You did fine though .... you didn't appear to complain.  :-)

We went out to eat for lunch.  You saw more of the ocean and beach, but then slept while we ate.  We came back to the house and watched the TarHeels play.  Basketball season is coming to a close.  We won our game today, which means we advance to another game in the NIT and play on tuesday.  We're usually in the NCAA tournament, but this year our record wasn't very good.  Oh well.  There's always next year!  ;-)

You had a great tummy time today!  This was the longest that I've seen you lift and keep your head up!  I put you on the bed and played with you and you were very alert.  Good job little man!  I can tell you're getting stronger everyday!

Daddy and I noticed that you have stinky feet!  :-)  Daddy took your little outfit off and went "phew!"  ;-)  I cleaned your feet so they're not stinky anymore, but we both laughed!  For someone who doesn't walk around, your feet sure smelled like it!

Sleep tight little man!

I love you very much!  :-)
