the life of baby jude

This baby loves the shore! I took another beach trip this past weekend! This time I hit Long Branch with M&D and Grandma. What a fun day! We went to Seven Presidents beach this time and it's a nice place. It wasn't that crowded and there were lots of nice people there. I did my usual baby routine-- snacked, played with sand toys, walked and socialized with other beach-goers. I rocked a whole different look this time as you may notice. I'm wearing my tres cute board shorts that I got from Katie, Florian and Evie, a bandana care of Grandma to keep my shoulders protected a my sunhat from the Denver Zoo. Very cute, don't you think?


We stayed at the beach until 7:00! I actually took a nap. Daddy walked me in his arms by the water and then Mommy held me in the beach chair. I suspect she was reading a magazine because I kept feeling pages turning on my back. But that's okay, I suppose. I didn't sleep long, but it was just enough to feel refreshed. Thankfully, this beach has little showers, so I didn't have to ride home with sand in my diaper. Ouch!

After we left, we took a ride into the town of Seabright and got a bite to eat at the Mad Hatter. It was pretty loud in there, but I got eat a few onion rings, some calamari (a little chewy, I must admit, so I just sucked the batter off and spit out--gross right?), and few fries, so I was happy. After that we headed home. Thank goodness! I sure was tuckered. All that fresh sea air and walking will do that do you! What a fun day, though! I can't wait until I can go swimming!
