The Pool and the Beach

Starting on our third day, Friday, the weather was back to what we would expect for Florida at this time of year. During the day the highs were in the 70s, and the sun was always shining. We spent the mornings and afternoons at the pool and beach, with a break for lunch and a nap (for Cam) in the condo.

Cameron, sitting on a big boy chair, chowing down on his snack of grapesCameron loves both the pool and the beach. Most days he swims twice, and stays in for 45 minutes to an hour. He loves to "swim" around, play with a ball and the noodles, and dunk daddy. His favorite part of the pool is definitely the first two steps, which are shallow enough that he can play on them. He likes to jump, kick his legs, and float with his feet off the step. He is having a blast in the pool, and we are so glad to have a water baby!

On the beach, he loves to dig in the sand. At first he didn't like the sand because it was too chilly, but once we showed him that he could dig in it, he was hooked. He also figured out that he can dig his toes into the sand, which he really liked. When we go for walks, he likes to wade in the water (although prefers to have shoes on when doing so!) and chase the seagulls. He is way too slow to even scare them, so they just walk away from him, rather than flying away. But he likes it a lot.

Sounds wonderful. Cam is going to be really surprised to come back to 10 degrees and 100 inches of snow!
