Beach Day with G'ma, FIRST TOOTH SIGHTING, and Dinner w U. JJ & A.Rebecca

Watch out - this is another post chock full o' photos, because Momma can't get enough of how cute I am at the beach!  Despite what the photo to the left seems to suggest, I actually love it there.  No... what that photo is placed here to demonstrate is my newest accomplishment of the day - MY FIRST TOOTH coming through.  See it there, right in front, on the lefthand side? That little poke of hard white tooth sticking through?  Ahh!  I guess I'm going to get my two front teeth before Christmas.  Momma says, "BOO!"  Too many milestones in the last week or so!  I don't seem to mind, contrary to what that picture shows.  I was a little fussy/clingy to Momma this morning, and my sleep has as disturbed as it usually is lately (I've gone back and forth this whole trip between having nights of long stretches and nights with frequent wake-ups)... but who knows if that's attributed to teething.  The drool, however... even more of it than you thought I had before... now, THAT makes this teething business make sense! 

The day was fun despite this new development.  Gamma, Mommy and I went to Sand Hill Cove to enjoy the perfect beach day that it was - not too hot, nice breeze, lots of sun. Here's our set-up.  I was napping for a bit when we first got there since I fell asleep in the car.  "Phew," said Momma, because I'm not a fan of falling back asleep once at the beach. 

I had fun playing on the blanket and practicing my SITTING.  I can do this for so long on my own now... what a big boy!

Gamma spent a lot of time with me at the shore.  I was fascinated by watching the little waves come in.  We tried to put my feet in the water but it is still too cold for me. 

I actually got a little chilly because there was such a nice little breeze... and my hat fell in the ocean... so it was time for a change. 

Now Momma and I had matching gray stripes on.  Of course, that warranted some photo ops. 

Yay! What a fun beach day!  After I had a long nap on the car ride home and in the driveway of G&G's house (Momma and Gamma took turns alternating who sat with me and who got changed), I met up with Uncle Jay Jay & Auntie Rebecca to try this new Treehouse Bistro restaurant.  I had fun playing with them at the table!

I was a tired baby afterwards and slept GREAT that night! (6.5 hour stretch to start with!)
