We went on vacation to Phoenix in May to find a little sun and get in the pool with my little pool baby. I think these pictures are the first day walking to the pool at our hotel. Olivia loves to walk on the curbs like a balance beam like she learned in gymnastics class. She is very good at the balance beam.

I will post what I can tonight from the trip, and lucky you I have tons more to post so will get to that over the next couple of days in another post. Stay tuned! :-)




Her skin is so fair, I slather her with sunblock before we go out.


And I make her wear her sun hat which is also sun block and her little pool shoes to protect her feet. She didn't seem to mind and had fun anyway.

We met this little girl at the pool. We all spent some time in the hot tub and turns out Olivia likes the hot tub better than the pool. The pool water temps were pretty darn icy.

They are enjoying the rock collection by the sidewalk. This is the first time I have seen Olivia play with another child. Before this it was more of what they call parallel play.

I also was so happy that Olivia slept through the night every night while on vacation. That was a first! Usually she would find herself in a strange place and get upset and keep waking up all night long, every night. It made traveling with her hard. But not this time. It was a mini breakthrough and what a relief.

Here are some pictures of my little hot tub baby enjoying an apple poolside. She has to have her own apple and not sliced or cut. She is a very good sharer though and gives her mommy and daddy lots of bites of her apples.

This video clip is Olivia being silly in the pool. She is saying her name which sounds more like Olivia with a "y" instead on an "L". And she skips the "v" for now. She has been doing this thing where she gets silly when the camera is on pretty much every time, darn it! I wonder where she gets that from?
