His first beach trip was a snooze.
Sleepy Beach Baby
His second was a race and a cling to daddy.
Lola and Papa chasing Nate.
Daddy Dear Life
See-ya later, ocean.
His third and fourth were filled with apprehension and he chose to play beach baseball to help him eventually work up the nerve to try the waves.
That’s far enough.
Beach baseball is a blast. Who needs the waves?
Got brave on the last beach day.
His fifth washed all the worry away. He ventured deeper and deeper until he was even farther than Nia (our brave beach sweetie) and Andrew at one point.
That’s a Nate head way out there.
It was like Nate never had any hesitation about the waves. This time, he wanted to start surfing them before he even reached them.
Skim Boarding Brave
I love how he was now so carefree – wanting to go deeper and asking for that skim board to try some sweet moves.
Our little man – conquering fears one beach trip at a time.
Are You Zhazha? 
Oh, that sleepy baby picture!!! Too sweet.
