We went to LBI, NJ this past weekend with our friends Jennifer and Ian and their son, Sam (he just turned one). Her family has a lovely beach house there and we usually visit once per summer. This was Theo’s first trip to the beach! He got used to playing in the sand but I don’t think he was too keen on the ocean. He didn’t react the same as when he is in other water (pool, bath). He was a little clingy. When he was down there with Jay, he was calm and enjoyed watching the ocean. I presume he was just taking it all in. The big, wide Atlantic. I sat him in the surf (both on his own and on my lap) and let the water splash up on him. I tried swooping him down and up so his feet and legs dunked in the passing wave. We had a nice time and the weather was absolutely perfect. Lots of great food and sitting outdoors.
