Gracie has finally made it to the beach! My parents live right near the beach, so we’ve taken her close to the beach, but never on the sand and near the water. We went on an extremely windy day, so we didn’t get too many pictures. Gracie loved the wind in her face, though. She finally got to stick her little toes in the water. Please don’t make fun of how white I am. LOL! Having a baby means no more laying out for 2+ hours in the sun.

We didn’t stay too long. And it was so windy I didn’t get to take any videos :(. But, Gracie took an amazing nap after. She actually fell asleep on the car ride home which she NEVER does. YAY!

We had fun at the beach with Grandma + Grandpa! Can’t wait to take her again!

Some tips for taking baby to the beach:

1//Be flexible- Because it was so windy, we ended up not staying too long. Sometimes you gotta change your plans up. Beach day turned into “beach 10 minutes”.

2//Bring sunscreen!

3//Pack a huge towel or blanket

4//Put a hat on baby

5//Don’t go during peak hours. Next time I want to bring Gracie around 4ish. Or maybe in the morning around 9.

What are your great beach tips with baby?!
