![[ Katie continues to become more and more comfortable (and frighteningly fearless) in the water. And she's now really discovering the joys of sand, arranging rocks, digging holes and drawing in it with her fingers. She especially enjoys being half buried, quizzing us as to the whereabouts of her feet, then surprising us by pulling them out and wiggling her toes. Once, in attempt to rinse the sand off her, I figured I'd trip and dunk her by surprise (she refuses if you ask). To my horror, she was steadier on her feet than I thought, and the maneuver ended up looking more like an unprovoked ocean assault. Fortunately she quickly forgave me. ]](0809-beach2.jpg)
