We're back home now, and I'm happy to report we had a great time in Florida! We spent the week in St. Augustine being beach bums and sightseeing a little. It was Andra's first plane ride, and she definitely earned her wings. She was very well-behaved on the flights (shew!!). She was a little hyperactive on the flights home (bouncing back and forth between our laps), but that's to be expected from a wiggly 11 month old.
Andra enjoyed the beach...after some adjustment. The first two days, she was scared of the sand! She'd stand in it, but she refused to sit on the sand and would start crying as soon as you sat her down. I think the texture must've felt funny on her legs. By the third day, she decided it wasn't so scary afterall and became a bonafide beach baby.
We also went to this really fun restaurant, thanks to my big sister's recommendation! It's on a dock, and at each table, they have huge windows and a little trap door you open and you can feed the fish swimming below. Andra liked feeding the fish, but was even more excited about all the seagulls (which she was fascinated by all week long)! Here she is pointing and "talking" to the birds. She also mastered her wave on vacation and waved to just about every person we saw on the beach, in the pool and at the airport.
And finally, a couple beach photos. I put Andra in her prettiest dress and then made her sit in that scary sand stuff. ;) She humored Mommy with a smile. I think we got a keeper! When I handed off our camera to a stranger to take the photo, she kept saying what a "cute family" we are. I love hearing that word. Family. It makes me burst with pride, and I'm so grateful that God's blessed us with Andra. Our family.
