Fun in the Sun

So, for 4th of July, we were invited to go to Lake Pleasant for the morning and go on a pontoon boat. Being that it was free, we had no other plans, and it sounded like a whole lotta fun, we said yes! So O got her very first trip on a boat and her very first outing in water other than a bath or pool.

We went out at 9 am, but it was already HOT! So, rather than making O wear her bathing suit, I just let her go nakey with a diaper - she likes going topless :) We brought her bouncer seat so she would have somewhere to sit, and it worked out pretty good.

On our way to the lake - all dressed up in her festive best!

I'm always the photographer - so there's finally a picture of me and O!
Aunt Davina and O's future boyfriend Anthony (he already kisses her feet - literally!)

Look at all that curly hair! (not daddy's chest hair folks!) :)

We finished up around 12:30, because the kiddos probably couldn't handle much more than that, and finished celebrating at our house in the pool. No fireworks for us this year, O is an early pumpkin and goes to bed at 6:30-7, plus the noise probably would have scared her.

Today we went to our non-walker playdate, which is just SO fun! She got dressed up in her new dress, and I got to put a ponytail on top of her head. I cannot believe that my 3 1/2 month old daughter has enough hair for a ponytail. I didn't leave it in because I was afraid it would hurt her, but got a few cute pics of it.

Before we left, I left O on her Baby Einstein play mat because she now likes to play with the toys that hang above her. She was on her back playing, I left the room for a few minutes to finish packing her diaper bag, and when I got back, she was on her tummy, in a different area of the mat! She rolled over from back to tummy (the much harder rollover) and I missed it! She has also figured out how to spin her little body around as if she were positioned on a clock dial, she lays there and her legs can go from 12-o-clock to 6-o-clock in a matter of minutes. She is getting SO big!

When we got to the playdate, O got to see her friend Elliott who just spent the last 2 weeks in St. Martin (lucky girl). They were so excited to see each other that they held hands - ok, maybe we positioned them like that but its still super cute!

Best friends!

O is only 2 weeks older than Elliott - look at the chub difference! My kid has some rolls :)

Then she practiced holding her bottle - mommy can't wait for this one to be accomplished.
