The Beach Part Deaux

We went to Fort Morgan, Alabama a couple of weeks ago for Noah's second trip to the beach. The first time he was barely crawling so this was kind of like the first time for us to experience it. It took him a couple of days to warm up to the idea but after he got used to it he really had fun. He loved low-tide where he had a 20 yard expanse of ankle deep water rolling in as the waves broke further out. While we were there, starfish had come to the shallows in droves to mate so he and Jana had a blast finding starfish and putting them in their buckets. All the poor critters survived but it's definitely hard to get over a curious two year old. Of course, he called them 'Spongebob' because he calls every character on the show 'Spongebob.' He also learned he still likes to be wrapped in towels. Our house was right off the beach so we'd walk home and then have to 'shower' off before going inside. So we'd dry him off and wrap him in a towel. He then would just fall asleep wherever you put him. Now at home he wants a towel instead of a blanket when he goes to bed. It's pretty cute.
