8 Days of fun!

Day 1: Park

Alyvia LOVES to go to the park. She finds joy in every single aspect of it. This particular day was the very 1st time that she went up in the playground equipment and down the slide all by herself! I actually tried to stop her and felt like I was on the verge of a heart attack the entire time, but she's amazing and so very independent! My baby girl is growing up!

Day 2: Pool

Alyvia's 1st time in her cute little bikini! She hasn't been in a swimming pool since she was only a few months old. Since she absolutely LOVES baths, I knew she would love this pool too. I didn't think she would ever be ready to come inside! I love my little fishie!!

Day 3: Park

This baby girl cannot get enough of the park! All I have to do is say "slide" and she is at the front door waiting for me! Especially now that she can do more than swing, play in the sandbox, and throw playground bark, (which is all still fun) the park seems to be her favorite place. She is a very friendly girl, too. Every time she sees someone even close to her size, she immediately goes up to give them hugs! Precious.

Day 4: Shoe Shopping (and the park again)

Alyvia's little feet are growing so fast! I tried to put a pair of her size 4's on her and after a couple minutes, I gave up. My little beauty queen has a thing for shoes just like her mommy, so she was quite upset when I wouldn't let her wear the toe squishers. So it was decided. We were going shoe shopping. First we had her feet measured. Unfortunately, her big toe is perfectly even with the size 4 line. This means size 4 is too small and size 5 falls off of her. Do you think they make size 4 1/2? Nope. So we still got a pair of super cute shoes that she will grow into. And since the shopping was more fun for me than for her, we went to the park again afterwards!

Day 5: Monkey Bizness

This place is so much fun! Not only is there plenty to keep Alyvia busy, but I also enjoy going down the HUGE slide with her! She sits in my lap and giggles as we slide down at top speed! She wants to go over and over and then sleeps the whole way home. I was literally dripping sweat by the time we left, and I'm not the sweating type! After we share a Tigers Blood snow cone of course! Ahhh...peace.

Day 6: Ice cream Zoofari

An evening at the zoo! A Creamcicle and a soda. Mmmmmm. Alyvia and Daddy climbed the tree like two little monkeys! Alyvia was a big hit in her new sparkly gold shoes! She's oh so fashionable and loves her accessories, too! The best part of all was when she "barked" at almost every animal she saw! We will definitely be going back to the zoo. She fits right in with all of the other animals!

Day 7: Blue Cow Frozen Yogurt:

There were two reasons for the frozen yogurt trip on this particular day.

1: Alyvia and I LOVE frozen yogurt.

2: I figured it might help my little dare devil's busted lip!

After the zoo trip, Alyvia fell from the couch landing with her mouth hitting the edge of the coffee table. Lot's of blood. pretty scary. Stupid driving. Hospital. She's ok thankfully, but needless to say, we don't have a coffee table anymore. Oh yeah, and Banana Bread frozen yogurt is delectable!

Day 8: Saturday Market (by mistake):

So, this day's event was originally supposed to be the parade downtown. But if you know me, you may know that I have a little bit of anxiety about going downtown by myself. I'm so ridiculously scared of getting lost. Silly, I know. So I drove partially downtown, parked, and we started walking. I didn't even remember that the Saturday Market was this day as well. So that's where we got sidetracked. Alyvia had so much fun running around in the water fountains and dancing in front of the bands and random guys with guitars! Super fun day with my little beauty face! And I didn't get lost!!
