Toes in the water, Toes in the sand...

I can't say that we didn't have a worry in the world... sadly, I think those kind of beach going days have long passed, but we did make our first beach trip (a very brief one) when Trace was 10 weeks old.  It was Memorial Day at a public beach in Orange Beach, so it was PACKED!  We didn't stay very long, but he enjoyed sticking his hands and feet in the sand...and in the ocean.  I guess he had no choice but to be a beach baby with 2 beach bums as parents :)
 

We went down to stay with Sissy for a little while and then visit with Matthew and Courtney, our dear friends who recently moved to Gulf Shores.  They hadn't been able to meet Trace yet, and Trace fell in love with Courtney... although, apparently, I took no pictures.  I do have a precious video of him talking to her in the car that I will try to upload.

We took some really great shots of the little cousins this weekend.  Trace was sleepy, so all of these are pretty mellow for him, but I love how it looks like they were telling each other secrets!




 
He was loving on Daddy that morning!  It was a fun trip, but a rushed trip for Trace's first road trip.  He was SO good for the 6 hour drive...both ways.  We had one incident on the way down where he was inconsolable for a time, but all in all... very good trip!
