New Trick!

little o has made a new discovery!
Since it was  hurting her knees when she crawled over the sliding door railway, she decided that she can just do a walking downward dog move over it instead.

Lazy Beach day

Today was pretty hot here in Los Angeles, so I took little o to the beach. She has been teething lately and has been pretty fussy, so I thought this might help to cheer her up....

look who's standing....

Santa Barbara

We took an overnight trip to Santa Barbara, since Nat had off work this week. We so needed a night away...We were excited to get away and see some sights with little o. We've only gone on vacation with her a few times and we thought it would be more fun, now that she is more aware of her surroundings-and especially now that she can join us in the pool!

little o's new sandals-She stopped wriggling her toes long
enough for me to get one on her foot for a photo op!

I love pelicans. We got so close to this one.
He was giving us the evil eye-or the hungry eye..

When I was pregnant with little o, I remember thinking often, how fun it would be to bring her to the beach. Even though I knew I'd need the necessities like diapers and wipes, I still thought it was extremely important that before she arrived, we had to have bathing suits and sun hats! Since our lives became so busy from day to day, we just havent found the time to plop her on the sand until now. She LOVED it!! So much space, such different tastes, textures, oh I wanted to build her a sand castle right then and there. Seeing how much she enjoyed this, I will surely be taking more trips to our beach this summer.

After little o went to sleep, Nat and I enjoyed some champagne and local seafood outside our hotel room...with baby monitor on hand, enjoying the beautiful ocean view.

Pink Boa

Here are some pics from little o's class today. The teacher brought out some feathers and boas for them to feel. Little o seemed much more interested in everyone's iphone laying around as well as some silver sparkly sandals sitting next to us. But I was able to get her to try on this pink boa for a few seconds-she kept wriggling around so fast-I thought all the shots came out blurry, but I love how bright and blown out these are!

10 months!

my dearest little o, you are an entire 10 months old! Almost a year! You are my biggest little girl. You have changed so much in the past few months! You are so fun and rambunctious now. You crawl so fast and you pull on my pants to try and stand up. You say dah, dah, dah at your bird mobile when you want to grab one of them to make them fly. Your favorite friends are Mr. Bear and little puppy. You point and clap. You wave bye bye and hi (sometimes-only when you feel like it). Oh and you kiss now. I saw you run over to a boy in class the other day and you planted a wet one right on his cheek! I think you were trying to kiss Sadie dog too-on her ear, and she let you. So sweet...then today when I came home from yoga, you gave me 2 kisses on my cheek and hugged me-oh that made my day little o!
