Beach baby

The holidays are a time to relax and recharge, so in keeping with that ideal hubby, baby D and myself took off to Point Lonsdale to the family beach house to enjoy a few days away from the river to breathe in the ocean breeze and feel the sand between our toes.  While baby D has been to the beach twice before we invested in a portable DVD player this time to make the drive a lot less painful...for us!  What a treat that was.  Although now baby D wants it on every time he gets in the car. 
It seems that we have a little water baby on our hands too.  On his first visit to the beach Baby D explored the rockpools with his dad.  While he was initially unsure of the water and the waves splashing up at him he soon became very interested and inquiring about what the sand, water and rocks were.  As his time at the beach extended so did his confidence with the water.  Baby D was so keen to get in the water one day that we had to resort to putting him a pair of jocks that we happened to have in the back of the car.  He was so delighted in the fact we was able to splish and splash to his hearts content.  What a joy he was in the water.  I am sure there will be no stopping him when we next travel down the Bellarine...

Bady D getting brave!

Wherever you are these holidays, whatever you are doing I hope that you are enjoying your family and creating life long memories.
