Our Little Beach Bum

**I am SO behind on posting and I have many started - so we'll start at the beginning and I'll post more - this was our first beach trip June 7 - 14th**
We just returned home from a week at the beach! There is so much to share. Sophia turned 19 months while we were there and we marked 7 months as a family last week. It seems so crazy how fast time has gone and how much she has truly changed. Last year at this time we were sitting on the beach reading magazines and books resting and working on our tans.

Fast forward a year and well let's just say I have never been more sandy in my life, built so many large holes in the sand, ate sandy sandwiches and food and had the most uneven tan of my life but it was by far the best beach trip - - - EVER.

My first time seeing the ocean - exact word "whhhooooaaaa" Sophia loved the beach, the sand, crabs, waves, sun - everything about it. She was such a trooper in 100 degree beach days, loss of power on the island, sleeping in the same room as mommy and daddy (winston too) and I'm amazed at how well she did with no schedule.

She woke up every morning standing in her pack and play saying - Mommy - sunshinnnneee, sunshinnneee, beech beech! I couldn't believe it. Huge smile on her face. I'm convinced there is no better way to start a morning!
Here are some more pictures - we took over 800 photos during the week ! Don't worry I just picked a few :)

Always loungin...
I wasn't too sure of the water but by day 3 I was running for it!!I love digging in the sand!Loungin again!!!!! Life is tough :)Night beach trip - one of my co-workers Jackie bought this dress for sophia and I couldn't wait to put her in it at the beach - it has gold starfish and seashells and sand dollars embroidered in it, absolutely beautiful and sophia loved twirling in it on the sand (a few falls to boot!)
I love this picture - napping on the beach
