Santa Cruz

We went with Paul's dad and family to Santa Cruz yesterday and Paul met us on the boardwalk after work. Gabriel had fun crawling on the sand. He'd crawl and scuff up the sand with his hands, and then bend down to get a mouthful of sand. Here he is walking in the sand. He found several sticks to chew on. He'd chew on them, dip them in the sand, and put the sand-covered stick back in his mouth. When do they outgrow the need to put everything in their mouth?! And he looks very unsteady when walking here, but he's much better on solid land (aren't we all?).
