Weekly Natalie - Week 29

We had two firsts this week! We took Natalie to the beach for the first time on Sunday evening. Our church had a beach baptism and we thought it'd be fun to take Natalie. However, just because something seems fun doesn't automatically make it fun. First beach trip = FAIL. (Please don't think we tortured Natalie for an extensive amount of time - all of these pictures were taken in the span of about three minutes)

Gorgeous Pensacola Beach

Not quite sure what to make of the water and the waves
Here it comes

You can't see her face in this picture, but trust me. It's not a happy one.

Still crying ...

A cute daddy/Natty moment, except for the fact that she's crying hysterically

At least one person in the picture is having a good time

Yep, still crying.

The waterworks continue

Besides the people getting baptized, the coolest part was that the Blue Angels did a flyover right by us! We missed their recent show, so it was really great to see them. Hey Blue Angels - you're AWESOME.

Woosh!

Happier!

Sea oats are so pretty

The other first for Natalie was a trip to the zoo. We met up with some good friends and wandered around the zoo for an hour or so. It was late in the day, so it wasn't too terribly hot. Nat did great! I had her in the sling the whole time and she hardly made a peep. Zoo trip = SUCCESS.

Big fat pig

This picture is one of my favorites!

Silly monkey

One of my favorites. I love these guys.

Yeah. I'm getting mooned by the little one. Not cool, baby orangutan. Not cool.

The gorilla-less gorilla playground.

I think Nat looks like John Lennon in those sunglasses

This guy looks like he's about to attack me

Pile o' gators

Really grumpy leopard

The picture didn't turn out great, but those three blobs are a family of monkeys

Hello, lovely.

For some other random Nat shots

She's been doing this with her tongue a lot

And she's been doing this with her mouth a lot

Chillin' on Daddy
