Jolie's 1st trip to the beach

Dad told me that Jolie seems to love playing with sand, so on Saturday, we waited till it's late afternoon before heading to East Coast beach. We chose a more quiet part of the beach so that it's more quiet with cleaner sand.

By the time we reached there, it was Jolie's milk time! But we realised that we don't have any place to sit as we didn't bring any mats. So I fed Jolie her milk while Cobby headed to the nearby store to buy a mat, some toys for Jolie to play sand with and a drink for us.



Yeah Cobby's back! Play time! It was a perfect day for Jolie's debut to the beach. It was sunny but with some clouds, so sun wasn't too harsh. Besides, we chose a spot under a huge tree shade, so it's bright but cool.



This was Jolie's 1st trip to the beach, so all the sand and sea was foreign to her. She was so mesmerized with the sand that we had a hard time getting her to look at the camera to take some photos!





I took away her shovel so that she would look up... :P



Teaching her to shovel sand into the bucket.



Our little family footprint!



After awhile Jolie tried using her fingers to pick up the sand and offered it to her dad.



It's difficult for her to walk on the uneven sand, but her stubborn streak refused us to hold her hand while she walk. So she kept falling on the soft sand.



After playing with the sand for awhile, we decided to let her explore the waters. So I slowly led her to the shore and let her stand there while the gentle waves roll over her little feet.



What fun sensations! I think she likes it!





After this video Jolie didn't want to play anymore. I think she had enough and was quite tired. So we packed up, wash up my sandy baby at a nearby toilet, and headed for an early dinner at Waraku Japanese restaurant nearby.

After dinner it was still quite early, so we went to Holland Village to buy her 1st birthday candle before heading home. What a fun day! It's been very long since I've been to the beach too, so it was really for me too. Jolie must have been really tired, cause she slept right through the night that night. Shoik for me!

Can't wait to go back again~!
