Sand & swimming
We had a couple of new firsts this weekend! On Friday night we were able to go to a hotel where Josh's aunt and uncle were staying and going swimming in the pool. This was the first time Luke was ever in a pool!
He cried a little bit at first, but we're pretty sure that was because it was a little cold. He really enjoys splashing around in the bath so I figured that he would really love the pool.
Luke has never been one to hold on tight when I'm carrying him around, but in the pool he was holding on so tight. I don't know how he knows to be afraid of these things...
It didn't take too long and he was having a great time, smiling, laughing and splashing.
On the way home that night it didn't take him long to fall asleep in the car. And for the first time ever we were able to take him out of the car, out of the car seat, and put him in bed without him waking up at all... One tuckered out little fellow.
The next day we made another trip to Savannah GA, this time we went to the beach first...
Josh and I have always been a little sad that Luke wasn't able to see the beach in Florida. But we were excited for Luke to see sand for the first time, even though we know that he puts everything in his mouth. And he did put sand in his mouth...
It was fun to see Luke pick up the sand, he would run it through his fingers and then look at the ocean and then back down at the sand.
Luke really enjoyed the beach, until all the sun, wind, sand in his diaper, not napping, not getting as many solid foods, and not getting enough play time caught up with him. Promptly after leaving the beach Luke fell straight asleep in his car seat and didn't wake up until 3 hours later... Needless to say, we will be spending this week resting up. But I will remember this trip... it was a good one.
