a day at the beach

Is there any better way to spend the 4^th of July than to go to the beach? We didn’t think so. So we took our first family trip to Salisbury Beach today. Riley was largely unimpressed by the beauty of sand and sea. He slept for virtually the entire time we were there. Here are a couple of shots:

It’s amazing to me the places that Riley can sleep. He slept through a feeding as well (and took 4 oz.)

It was a perfect beach day made even better by the presence of our boy. Everything is more fun with Riley along. In the future he may even stay awake.

While on the subject of Riley’s sleep, I’ll leave you with a short video of the kind of thing that fascinates Shelby and I nowadays. Cute baby noises. We can’t help it, we adore our son.

Another piece of excitement today was all Shelby's. She rejoined the ranks of runners after seven months off. 20 minutes of jogging out of 30 minutes total and only six weeks out from a C-section. Way to go sweetie! She really felt great.

Life is becoming more and more "normal"...
