Better late than never... That pretty much explains this late post and the beach. Last month, February 23, Billy and I took Lilly Rose to the beach --- for THE FIRST TIME! I know, I know it's borderline child abuse. Asinine really. Ashamedly true and plain sad considering we only live a solid 17 miles from the ocean. (Although still desperately too far if you ask me...)
Last summer though I just felt she was too little. I mean she was only 6 months old and barely 13 lbs! I had nightmares of her infant tender skin being exposed under that burning sun for anything over 2 minutes. Well the thought was just scary. I have other excuses too such as I was nursing, we didn't have a beach tent yet, Blah blah blah. So needless to say, we were excited to finally let our girl feel the sand between her toes, smell that gorgeous salt air and frolic around freely at the ripe beach age (according to this neurotic mother), of 14 months old (to the day).
Lilly Rose loved it. We had the best time playing and enjoying the beautiful day. We topped the trip off with lunch & Froyo on centre street. It was a perfect family day that made this mild winter a little brighter!
We are really looking forward to the summer around here now, lots of beach days ahead. We have to make up for lost time ya know!
