After 6.5 months Kai has finally made it to the beach.  I’m not quite sure how it would compare with his 9 months amniotic fluid experience, but I can definitely say he loved it.  He couldn’t wait for the waves to come crashing. He threw some sand, he splashed the water, but interestingly enough he never tried to eat the sand.  I have to say I was pleasantly surprised that he didn’t try to eat the sand.  He touched it, looked at it, probably thought “only a silly baby would try to eat this”, then he tossed it like a salad.  Hopefully he behaves the same way when he discovers dirt.
