Beach Trip

We have been having some wonderful weather here in Oregon, and it made me desperate to hit the beach. Our kitchen remodeling is almost finished, so Marc was unable to accompany Lucy and I on our trip. It was so awesome...the beach was hot (a miracle!), and Lucy was really taking it all in. She spent a lot of time looking at the waves. I dipped her little toes in the water...too bad it is too cold for swimming without a wetsuit. I think we will need to get wetsuits as she gets older, so we can enjoy the water. It was so nice to bring her to the beach and let her check it out. We live 2 hours from the ocean, and I have to make sure to make the extra effort to get there, because I want her to grow up with it in her life. In other news, she is just fitting into her excersaucer (thanks, Stephanie and Matt) and has figured out that the teapot makes noise, so she kept trying and trying to trigger it, and she was pretty good! It is amazing to she how she is learning. I dressed her up in the dress my Dad and GranPaddy picked out when I was born and everyone finally knew that I was a girl. I do think Lucy looks so cute in it. She is getting close to rolling over and is just very aware of what is going on around her. She loves to laugh, and I uploaded a video which is poor on visual quality but great for the sound of her laughter. I hope that everyone has a great week. Love, Koree
