Seaside - Day 4

We've had a wonderful vacation but we are pooped out tonight and are going to bed. We have about an 8-1/2 hour drive back home tomorrow and need to call it a day. A brief note about our last day is: sun, beach, naps, showers, eats and lots of last minute soaking it all in.

Our happy family enjoying the ocean.

The super fun float.

My two handsome boys.

Going for the camera.

An attempt at wearing sunglasses, at least for a photo.

Who needs sunglasses, besides Mommy?

The new found toy, travel tissues.

Sandy hands.

Feeling a little in the mood for a cuddle.

Nap time.

A stroll along the beach.

Our little flamingo.

Capturing the end of a spectacular day.

The little so-called 'flamingo' would strike this pose any time we'd try to put him down in the sand or water. He even started doing it in the house when we'd come back from the beach. I think there was lots of newness and discovery for him this trip. He's done SO well and we're so proud of him.

Some personal notes (more for me and my record keeping): His coughing and breathing has gotten worse over the trip and his nose has been crazy! We're hoping it's not a big deal and perhaps due to the fact that he lapsed his Singular for a week before deciding to put him back on it to get him through the vacation (doctor approved). He also has had a bit of an upset tummy, a bit of a mess for the diaper, but his mood has been fantastic! His tummy did seem to do better this afternoon and evening. Hopefully we're at the end of that deal. He's been trying lots of new grown-up foods along with his regular meals of babyfood. We're thinking his tummy just can't handle it all yet, so we've slowed it down a bit to allow the sensitivity to calm down.
