Hole In The Rock

In Tempe, there's this great little place by the zoo called Hole in the Rock. There is literally a huge hole in the mountain(ish). 

It was a beautiful Saturday morning, so we decided to get out and take Vivi. These pictures are a couple of months old, when the weather was a little colder, hence the jackets.

 Starting out!

 Our little mountain climber!

 Wild flowers growing out the side of the mountain - gotta love Arizona!

Tchau!

Stuck?

Vivi sometimes to get herself into some tough situations. 

I'll here her holler out for help. 

But she always manages to get out.

 Stuck under the chair - trying to get her toy

 Almost...

 Yep - success!

Just showing off!

Bed Time

Every night before we put Vivi to sleep, we have a bath, then put on our pajamas and then - it's off to brush our teeth. Vivi absolutely hated it when I brushed them at first. Then, one night, she started to like it and would actually let me brush them. She lets me do it every night (mostly) and will open her mouth and smile sometimes.
While we were taking this video, we are speaking Portuguese to her and sang a few songs that she likes. One is about the 5 little ducks. When the momma duck calls her little ducks, Vivi makes the duck hands. Then when the little ducks go out to play, she waves her arms. It's adorable!
Then there is the Happy Birthday Song. She always claps to this, so we sing it - a lot (and a lot is an understatement).
It's a long video, but has all kinds of good stuff. She's getting so big!

Bath Time

These pics are a little old (maybe 2 months!) But I just bought a new cable to upload my pictures! So I have LOTS of pictures to post. 

I love giving Vivi a bath - and she is totally loving them too! She has all of Daniel's facial expressions...

Celebrating With Friends

 Our good friend's baby Samantha celebrated her first birthday and we were invited! They had some fun water activities for the kids and Vivi got to sport her swimsuit! I may be biased, but I think she looked adorable!
