Life With Libby: Topsail Beach!

We had a wonderful trip to Topsail Beach last week! Thank goodness we didn't plan on going one week later, or we may not have made it in the wake of Hurricane Irene! My parents graciously moved their annual beach trip to Topsail instead of going to Hatteras to make the journey a little easier with Libby. She screamed almost the whole way there (with the pain of 3 molars), so we were thrilled that it wasn't a 7 hour trip.

Again, Libby LOVED the beach. She played her little heart out with her parents, grandparents, cousins Matthew and Sam, Aunts Leslie and Linda and Uncle Alex. A few highlights from the trip:

Libby's cousins introduced her to marsh mellows - she loved them, but they were a sticky mess. I especially loved it when she would drop it, sand would stick and she would eat it again- gross!

Libby gave lots of high-fives. She played in the ocean with her Dada and cousins and every time they jumped a big wave, she gave a round of high-fives

Libby had a fantastic photo session with Doc (in red and navy swim suit below). She loved the attention and played into the paparazzi following her

Libby got to sleep in the room with Bubbie and Doc and let Momma and Dada spend the night out with Mike and Leora, who happened to be there when we were

Libby got to play with Ellie McAuliffe and share snack time/happy hour

Libby did lots of singing and clapping - she showed off her dance moves when we played music for her during our mini dance party

Libby showed us how she's learning to put things in buckets, stack toys and try to put lids on things- so proud!

Josh and I got to relax on the beach thanks to lots of wonderful help, and Libby's family got to enjoy playing with her and enjoying lots of sweet moments.
