Today we spent the morning on the beach - it was a great morning and I got to practice my jumping a little bit. This is a recently learned skill and I want to jump all of the time, but mom and dad tell me it's not such a good idea in a third floor condo :) So mom said I could jump on the beach all I want.
Here's me in mid-air!
I don't usually get juice, but soy milk is hard to come by and it's been so hot that mom and dad want to make sure I stay hydrated, so they've let me have a few juice boxes this week. Needless to say, I *love* them :)
I'm ready to go in the water with mom and dad! The waves tickled my feet :)
Daddy bought me a kite!!!!! Here I am waiting for him to put it together so we could go fly it.
See how excited I was about my kite???
This is a happy girl right here :)
We decided to go to Cape Lookout this afternoon, then spend some time walking around the town of Beaufort which is a nice historical town on the waterfront. Since it was a pretty long drive to get there, I napped in the car on the way to the lighthouse. We had to take a ferry to get from the mainland to the island where the lighthouse was. This was my first boatride and I loved it! I love to go "boom boom" over speed bumps in parking lots and we had lots of opportunities to go boom boom in the water too. On the way out to the lighthouse, I even got to see the wild horses that live on the island! The whole way out on the boat, I was holding on to Cookie Monster and my blankie - mom was also holding on to them for dear life, knowing full well that if they flew off the boat that it would not be a pretty sight. The skies were somewhat ominous as we neared the island, but the boat captain thought the storm would pass and not really hit where the lighthouse was. He was WRONG! It rained the entire time we were there :( We ended up not even going out to the beach to see the lighthouse, but rather sat in a covered area and got to see a demonstration put on by one of the park rangers. She showed us some whale bones, horseshoe crab shells, logger head sea turtle skulls and skeletons, and whelk shells. She even said that they had recently found a sea turtle that had mortar shells stuck in it's shell - that means the turtle was around during the Civil War! How crazy is that???
The rain never eased up, so we decided to make a break for it and run back to the ferry. We were confirmed on the 4:00 ferry, but it was about 3:45 and we thought we'd try anyway. We were lucky enough to get on, but were completely soaked. It really hurt riding back because the rain was pelting us all around. Luckily, mom had packed an extra shirt for she and I in my diaper bag, so she put her shirt around me to shield me from the rain. I hugged mom and put my head on her shoulder to keep myself warm. When we got back to the car, daddy changed my clothes and I was *much* happier (and warmer).
We drove to Beaufort and the rain had slowed down a little. We walked around to some of the shops and mom bought dry sweatshirts for she and I. We ended up eating at a great seafood restaurant and it was FREEZING with the air conditioning, so it's a good thing we had new sweatshirts :) I ended up eating a hot dog because I couldn't really eat anything else they had on the menu, but I gobbled it up along with some watermelon (and mommy's and daddy's watermelon), fries, and applesauce.
Mom and dad think I must have eaten some dairy at one of the restaurants we went to :( My poor tummy is really upset and I scream in pain when I have to go to the bathroom and it is pure torture to have my diaper changed :( I have a rash all over my belly which is what first diagnosed my dairy issue, so mom and dad think that has to be it. I got some Benadryl and hydrocortisone tonight, so hopefully that will make me feel a little better. I guess I haven't outgrown my dairy issues yet :(
Hope everyone is doing well and we'll post some more pictures once we get home and settled back in to the daily grind.
