Beach babe!

It was a beautiful sunny warm day here in Michigan! See me sitting at the beach! I did all sorts of fun stuff today. I'll start at the beginning.
I was fussy yesterday evening, but got a little better by early morning. I slept in until about eight o'clock after my five a.m. feeding. Mom and Dad enjoyed the sleep in as much as I did! Then I got up and ate my rice with apples and played with Turtle and Ozzy while Dad worked at the sink and toilet. He's almost done! All that's left is to patch the wall by the sink and put the sink up when all the plumbing is in order. I took a short morning nap while it warmed up outside.
When I got up, I went next door to swing with Ellie and Anna. Their Mom and Dad are working at putting a new sliding door to the back porch. I had so much fun! Then I sat outside on my blanket playing with my toys while Mom read a book. She didn't get very far because I wanted to play with her! So we read one of my stories and played with pop bottles (or soda bottles, as Daddy calls them). Then it was time for one more nap.
When I woke up from my nap, I had a very exciting afternoon! Mom and Dad took me to the beach! It was bright and sunny, but I had my sun hat on. We sat by the channel at Holland State Park. I laughed and giggled at everyone, and Dad took pictures of me. We saw Mom's Uncle Bern and Aunt Linda there. They showed off a picture of Aidan, their new grandson. Mom tells me he is my second cousin. More babies for me to meet!
Then we went up in the sand dunes. Mom took my socks off so I could feel the warm sand. I liked it! I picked up a handful and it just ran through my fingers. I squealed at it. Daddy buried my toes in it. I had fun playing! I think I'll ask Mom and Dad to go there again sometime soon.
Then I was tired, so I took a short nap while Mom and Dad went to Target to get some stuff for the laundry room. They got another mirror for me to look in! I woke up to eat my dinner of oatmeal and carrots. I sat and played while Mom and Dad ate, and then my eyes started to blink. Dad is rocking me and putting me in my crib now. I'll sleep well after my exciting day!
