Baby Cooper's First Beach Visit

On Febraury 21st, I visited Kelly, Glenn and Cooper - now all of six days old. Glenn decided to stay home and do the chores, while Kelly and I took Cooper to the beach. Well, not actually on the beach, but very close. And we had an enjoyable walk too!

"Ah, it feels good to stretch my legs without all those tight clothes. I'm ready for the beach!"

Ah, Lenny (the cat) comes to seek some assurance and comfort.

Away We Go

Glenn has the stroller out and ready to go, so Kelly and I head downstairs to install its occupant so we can head out.

Cooper all wrapped up and ready to go, thinking (?) "What are YOU doing?".

Ah, made it to Cronulla Park! Kelly with Cooper, who appears to be pretty much ignoring the beach. I guess that will change - in a few years!

Back in the pram, little Cooper is back asleep. All this sun and fresh sea air makes a person sleepy!

Kelly at the beach - Cronulla Beach, to be precise. We had a very enjoyable cup of coffee, watching the world go by, and not hearing a noise from Cooper.

Cooper is almost on the beach. Almost. Well, when you're 6 days old, the beach is probably not too interesting.

Back Home

After another difficult walk (yeah, right!) we made it back home.

Glenn and Cooper back home safely

Time to sit down. Glenn gave Cooper a "mohawk", which is somewhat visible in this photo. It's a little too short to show up well. But Cooper seems to be half awake, perahps asking "Dad, what did you do?"
