4th of July Weekend!

9 Months 2 Weeks

We spent the 4th of July at Bryan's grandmother's house in Amelia Island. This was Avery's first time at the beach.  Not a bad view from your front porch, huh?


We took her baby pool with us so she could have some fresh water to play with.  We also got to spend some time with Bryan's Aunt Debbie, Cousin Mary Catherine and Avery's grandmother, Loretta.


It was so great to see Aunt Deb and Mary Catherine.  Every visit with them leaves me wanting more time with them.  Such great people!
 

This tent was a lifesaver.  I'm not sure how other families do it without this sun protection.  I would say that this, or an umbrella, is a definite when you have small children.


Our first taste of sand.  Yuck.  I thought she would take one bite and be done with it.  But, she kept digging in for seconds.


The tide pools were nice and warm.  A perfect place for Avery to hang out.




Avery is so close to walking.  On this trip, she wanted to walk everywhere.  She's balancing on her own when I set her down and she's no longer walking on her tip toes, but flat on her feet.


Avery's first time in the ocean.


She came back all smiles.


Her grandmother got her this 4th of July outfit.


Here she is with her GG...


and Papa Tom!


All in all it was a great trip! Avery's sleeping was off, but that was to be expected. The last two night's at home she has been trying to get back on track. Up off and on till midnight, but then down til 6:00-6:30am.
