The beach!

We are officially on Emma's first beach trip.  Every summer, we go to the beach with my mother-in-law, father-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law....ok, let me stop here....they're all in-laws, so just add that to the end of every relative....nephew, uncle, aunt, 2 cousins, and anywhere from 1 to 6 family friends.  We have so much fun every year!  Russell and I didn't go last year because I had just been off of work for 14 weeks, and we didn't really want to take Emma away from her doctors that early in the game.  So here we are for spring break at my in-laws' newly purchased condo.  Yesterday Emma loved the beach, as long as she was in her daddy's lap.

Side note: Emma has been unbearable when it comes to her daddy this week.  If she can see or hear him, she whines and cries until he holds her.  Then she turns around and boastfully grins at whatever poor soul was just holding her as she cried and pushed away towards Daddy.

Ok, so back to the beach.  She loved the beach yesterday.  She and Mason rode down in the wagon together, and Emma was a doll playing with her toys.  Today we took her down to the beach three times, and unfortunately, we took her down right before her naps on two occasions.  So we had a very cranky baby at the beach.  Here are some pics of a happy baby, though:

And don't forget:
