Slappy Has Her First Taste of the Island

And it tastes like wine. While at appetizers by the bay, Maddie refused to keep her pacifier in her mouth, continuously dropping it into things she wished she was old enough to enjoy.
Her day began with a walk with Mom and Uncle Wills. Uncle Wills carried Maddie around Ocean Beach for about an hour, as Jess sat on a bench, and “borrowed” some internet outside a hotel. All Fire Island posts are thanks to the patience of her Uncle, who had to field comments like this:
Lady: “What an adorable baby! How old is she?”
Wills: “Thank you. 4 months.”
Lady: “And… how old are you?”
Wills: “17. She’s my niece.”
She went on many walks to the beach with Dedo.
And worked on her new favorite pastime – shoving as many fingers as possible into her mouth at once.
Then another beach walk with Mom.
And finished the day off, missing her Dad. So Mom played Dad’s favorite game with her – the “You’re Right-side Up. Now You’re Up-side Down.” Game.
