Swimming

Today we went to Red Lobster for dinner with Grandma and Grandpa Barber. You followed your schedule perfectly and allowed us to eat dinner while you slept quietly in your carseat. Dad was in heaven eating seafood and ordered enough to feed the entire family.

We made plans afterward to go swimming at their hotel. Grandma had sent you a package in the mail before you were born and inside was a cute little pink swimsuit. Mom was so excited to finally put you in it. You had swim diapers ready for the occasion, but the smallest size were still too big.

We went to the Marriott in Orem by Winco where Grandma and Grandpa were staying. Grandpa went to go buy a new car while we went down to the pool.

The pool was pretty cool and the hot tub was warm, but not hot - so we settled on the hot tub. You got into the hot tub with Dad and you were all smiles. You didn't talk, but we knew you liked it. We were in there for maybe 5 minutes max, and you seemed to enjoy yourself. Mom can't wait for this summer when we will be outside in the sun, playing with our toys, and floating in the pool.

Fabric & Boots

Mom wanted to make you a new blanket, so off to the fabric store we went. You wore your warm boots that Brittany Perdue gave you. They are so cute, they snuck out from underneath the carseat cover.

A new toy

Within the last week or so we have noticed that you are interested in your toys. Today we got out this puffy square from JanaRae. It has lots of ribbons for you to grab and you like to look at the different pieces of fabric. You don't know how to hold or grab it yet, but you like to look at it. You are also laying on the blanket that Aunt Yvonne made for you.

TV with Dad

You love to stare at different things around the room. Dad was talking to you in your bumbo and you got distracted by the TV. You watched with Dad for a few minutes until Mom said no more.

Reading with Dad

When Dad got home from work tonight, we had a special surprise for him. A new book! Steffanie Williams from school got an extra copy of this Olivia book and gave it to you. For Family Home Evening, Dad read this book to you. You are doing so well at looking at the pictures. I hope you love reading as much as I do.

Swim Cap

Your Mom bought you a swimsuit for this summer with a matching swim cap. Today Ayrika was over visiting and Mom had you try on your swim cap. The size is 0-6 months, but we think it might be a little tight. Today might've been the only time you will ever wear it.

Baby Wearing

Sometimes you get a little fussy. Today you didn't want me to put you down. I used my Moby wrap to keep you close. You were pretty happy with this new way of being held, and so was Mom. We sure do love those baby blue eyes.

Birthday Party

Tonight was the first time you have gone out to see friends. We have gone out lots, but have only seen family. We went to Midvale to Mac's 1st birthday party. His mom, Rachel is good friends with your mom. We also saw Mary & Russ with their kids Korbin, Quinn, and Kyler. You were really good at the party but Mom left your blanket their.

Smiles for Grandma Sue

Happy Birthday Grandma Sue! Grandma left us for the sun in Florida. We sent her this picture for her birthday.

Gaming with Dad

Daddy - Daughter time tonight consisted of Dad playing a game on his phone while you were hanging out in your bouncy chair.
