Sand, Salt, and Surf

We had a great first family vacation in Hilton Head this month. I felt pretty confident that Hank was going to love the beach since pretty much everything we've done with him he's loved. We were right, he is a total water baby! He was out floating in the waves in his float, loved playing in the pool, and the water fountains at the boardwalk. So far this boy has no fear! He got to go on his first bike rides in his "cub" the pull-cart thing that hooks onto the back of our bikes. He was certainly intrigued by the sand, but became immediately frustrated once it got in his eyes and mouth. I heard over and over from mom's "he will only eat sand once" not our boy! It was only a matter of time each day before a hand full of sand went straight into his mouth-which in turn frustrated the heck out of him! He was also not a fan of the daily "lube-up". Anyone who's seen Hank knows that he is the whitest baby ever! He required frequent rubdowns of SPF 90+ which cuts into playtime dramatically! However, it was well worth it as there were no baby sunburns, and he even got a little base tan! That's my boy! Clearly my days of laying out in the sun for 8 hours reading my books and napping are long gone, this boy sure keeps us busy!
