It has been said for every long journey there are many small steps. Today Baby Boy O took a giant leap – his first full hike in his baby carrier. He pushed past the magic 10 minute mark and managed the head strength and willingness to join us for a proper little hike. Hopefully a good sign of things to come!

Another small step – morning yoga by the pool

Exploring the mid-coast

Going for a stroll

Where the land meets the sea

Up to the lighthouse

Steps ahoy

The workout continues

Shining steadily over time

Baby Boy O’s first official hike…back to the car

Stopping at the Owl’s Head General Store for a burger voted the best in Maine

So exhausted after his first hike

Learning about puffins in Rockland

Adorable creatures

Main Street Rockland

Prepping for hike #2. All refreshed post nap and feed

Off to the second lighthouse of the day

Rockland Breakwater goes a mile out to sea

Skipping across big granite stones

Making it out to the lighthouse…

…for a victory family selfie…

…making it back to shore. Baby Boy O was such a trooper, with only a few tears at the end

Exhausted, happy and hungry by the end of the day
