Beach Babe





Last week we vacationed in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Bella and I had a fabulous time. It took Bella a little while to get used to the pool, but once she did she was in love. She splashed and splashed to her heart's content.

Gulf Shores was very breezy while we were there and this aggravated Bella a little. I think there were so many new sounds and smells that she was a bit overwhelmed. She cried when out in the breeze, but we were able to distract her from time to time to snap a few cool photos. She also didn't take too well to sand, either. I can't blame her; it is a very odd feeling on the toes.

But more than anything Bella loved spending time with her family - Nana, Papaw, Granny Hardy, Aunt Dacia, Uncle Terry, and cousins Carson and Callie. For Bella, being around Carson and Callie was wonderful. It has been a long time since she has been around kids for such an extended length of time. I guess since she was 4 1/2 months old when in daycare.

Now, we adults talk about how much weight we gain while on vacation. Well, Bella gained a litte as well. She had two grandmothers around to feed her constantly. It was as if they were fattening up a turkey for Thanksgiving! But hey, the girl is a skinny minnie and could use some fattening up.

So now that we are back the question is......When's the next trip to the beach?

Enjoy the photos!
