Another day at the beach

I went to the beach again today! This place is so much fun! I sleep in my packnplay and wake up while Mom and Dad watch me. First I open my eyes just a peek. Then I roll over and stretch. I make a few squeaks to get some attention. If that doesn't work, I sit up and scratch at the side of the crib and make louder noises. Finally, Mom picks me up and gets breakfast going. Then we go out for a walk or sit and play. Today I watched Sesame Street with Ally. I like Ernie! When he came on to sing about rubber duckies, I jumped up and down on Mom's lap, waved my arms and yelled. I like Elmo too. Ally points to him and tells me his name.
Mom let me try banana chunks for lunch today. I had fun squishing them and waving them on the way to my mouth. I'm pretty good at chewing! Right now I'm begging for graham crackers from Daddy. It's a whole new world of food!
After my nap and lunch we went down to the beach! Mom let me sit in her chair. Mostly I stay in the shade under the umbrella but I did get to put my toes in the water. All that fun tired me out so Daddy carried me back to the cottage. I fell asleep before we even got back to the house and I took a good long nap until dinner time. I had pears an oatmeal for my dinner and then watched everyone else eat steak. Uncle Rich grilled them and they looked good! Mommy says I can have a little next year.
Now we are sitting and watching the Tigers. I'm sitting on my feet scooting around. Last night I crawled a little bit! I went from Daddy to Mommy. I didn't get very far but I think that I've got the idea.
Soon it will be time for me to go to bed. Daddy is going upstairs to change my diaper and snuggle me into a sleeper. I think that everyone has more fun after Ally and I go to bed but I can't prove it. I hear something about another poker game...what do these grownups do without child supervision??
