Crawling on the beach!

We went to the beach tonight and I let Miles crawl around in the sand, HE LOVED IT. He cried when we had to leave. When I sat him down he started picking up handfuls of sand and looking at it, amazingly he didn't try to eat any. He crawled all around and had a ball.

He can pull himself to standing!

``Miles learns how to pull himself up.

I love to stand

Miles stood up for the first time on Saturday November 6 and now it's all he wants to do. Toys? Who needs those when you can stand!

The LLG (littlest little guy)

The first photo is from our attempt at having a little photo shoot for the gap kids contest. Why not? We thought it might be a good way to pay for college if he wins! However, I forgot to send the photos in after we took them, mom brain strikes again.

The second photo is from one of our little walks on Ocean Beach, at sunset.

Windsurf Camp

For the second summer in a row I checked out the ABK windsurf camp, this year I went to the San Luis reservoir location. Camp is alway entertaining, it's run by Andy Brandt and he adds a good dose of humor. I wasn't that excited when I arrived, late thursday night after getting lost on a dark highway. I knew the forecast wasn't great, possibly no wind. Andy talked me down from my neurotic worry about no wind.

Even though there wasn't much wind all weekend, I learned a lot from the guys, they're damn good teachers and break everything down to it's simplest elements, a skill I lack. I got a few pivot jibes and maybe 1 or 2 tacks by the end of the weekend, which was why I landed at camp in the first place. I'm so tired of dropping into the bay every time I want to turn.
