1. I'll apologize now. I just couldn't narrow it down further - she's too cute. I took a lot of pictures of the Squirms last week during our gulf coast beach trip. We spent a week with my parents, Auntie L, and my grandparents.
 |
| She practiced her climbing skills.... |
 |
| We had lovely views.... |
 |
| And she claimed Auntie H's beach chair. |
2. Squirms loved waving at planes and boats. She also learned to say "beach"and "boat". And of course, since grandpa was around, she got lots of practice saying "out" and pointing outside.
 |
| A boat! |
 |
| I just love this expression. And the belly. |
 |
| I love playing in the sand! |
3. It also rained a lot. Rain at the beach means Krispy Kreme donuts and ice cream.
 |
| Please Please Please. |
 |
| A book!?! |
 |
| We had a great view of all the storms coming in. |
4. And of course there were birds.
 |
| Birds! |
 |
| There are a lot of birds.... |
 |
| Why can't I have any of those bread crumbs? |
 |
| Oh! A cigarette butt! |
 |
| Lots of laughing. |
5. My dad, the grandpa a.k.a. Squirm's partner in crime. Each morning she asked grandpa "up" and then looked at me and said "bye bye".
 |
| Please note the expressions and hands. |
 |
| And here. |
 |
| And here. I think they may have practiced this look. |
6. Too adorable.
 |
| Sunglasses she can bite while protecting her eyes. |
7. She tried her skills at climbing stairs, walking in sand, standing in waves, and beachcombing.
 |
| Beach baby. She's now a pro at walking in sand. |
 |
| And she's a professional beachcomber now. |
 |
| She's especially fond of trash. |
8. On Saturday afternoon we also got to see Squirm's other grandparents and Auntie C. This little girl got hugs and kisses from great grandparents, both sets of grandparents, and two aunties - makes my heart happy.
 |
| More birds! |
 |
| More cigarettes! |
9. While I was bummed about driving for eight hours to vacation at a beach - a beach north of us! - seeing how happy Squirms and my parents were for this week was worth listening to some - some - crying in the car.
 |
| Oh, I like glasses. |
 |
| Example A of why we drove to a different beach. |
 |
| Example B. |
10. And this is a pretty good picture of what our house looks like this week.
 |
| I call this one, Shoe in Peace Lily. |
