Beach Boy

Last year at the beach didn't end so well (sand + wind + 3 month old + sun = not a success). This year was a different story entirely. You! Loved! The! Beach! We got lucky with a string of 80 degree days and we couldn't keep you away from the water for long.

This last picture is one of the only ones I have of your front side. You were too busy running straight at the ocean. Your lack of fear both impressed and terrified me. When you took your first wave face first, you barely batted one of those pretty little eye lashes. You were all heart and courage and exploration. I have so much left to learn from you, my little beach boy.
