Sawyer

That’s how he described it tonight over dinner, and that’s exactly what we did. It was a beautiful day today, even kind of warm too, so the three of us went to Baker Beach late this afternoon. Sawyer loves the water, will do anything to escape my grip when near it, tolerates the sand, hates to sit on the blanket, and likes to look for boats and airplanes. It’s a pretty big deal for him.

Beach! Ocean! Sawyer!

The waves were huge, easily six feet or more:

And it was high-tide so I really had to pay close attention:

He could play here all day long:

But it’s good to take breaks with Mama on the blanket:

I love the way he walks in the sand, and since it slows him way down, he’s relatively easy to catch. You can see how long he sits still, what was that all of two seconds?

Here he is with Abby walking back down to the water:

Abby captured an excellent video of me and him in the water, you’ll see just how crazy he really is. Look for that tomorrow. It’s a good one.
