Vivian's locks are adorable. But her hair is growing like a weed!

Vivian's First Haircut!
Smile!
Out of nowhere, Vivian has decided that this is her smile. Eyes closed, nose scrunched, chin lifted, and big grimace. So now, everytime I have the camera and ask her to smile, this is what I get...
Night out with the Zuritas!
Vivian, as wiggly as she is, had difficulty with her restaurant-provided high chair. At first it was neat, but the novelty wore off and she decided to give us some entertainment.
Beach Day!
This summer we've enjoyed the beach more than any other summer here in Virginia. It took awhile for Vivian to get used to the pool, and even longer to get used to the ocean. But she likes it now. She especially is fond of climbing into buckets filled with water. Her own personal hot tub!
Vivian's friends assist her in bucket sitting...

Summer Safari
Books, Books, Wonderful Books!
Summertime in a Box
It all started with a harmless picture I wanted to take. I thought Vivian would get upset and start crying. I didn't realize she would become so enamored with the box. She climbs in and out, insists that we watch, and also likes when we push her around in it. Some parents take their kids out to get ice cream, go to the pool, or enjoy the playground. We like to hand our child a box and say, "Here, Kid. Happy Summer."
Using the couch for leverage. Much grunting and drama is involved in this.
We can also slide the box around. Or we like to cry until someone assists us in box entrance.
Almost there. It's tough work getting into this thing when you're 2 feet tall! Note Lamby clearly neglected.
Sharing is not our forte yet. Moments later Peter Rabbit was tossed into the air.

Birthday Cupcake Carnage!
June 11th was Vivian's first birthday, and so we celebrated with Grandma and Grumpa. I had had visions of her birthday cake cupcake for months now, so I was so excited to finally make it for her. So, after opening birthday presents (most make A LOT of noise--thank you, Grandparents) we celebrated with the traditional cake extravaganza. Hopefully these pictures are as sweet as the Strawberry icing Vivian had...all over the place!
The aftermath, but let's start at the beginning...

Summer Preview: Vivian's fashion do's and don'ts
For all of those babies and small toddlers out there who need some help with what to wear this summer, I compiled some of my favorite looks in addition to some tips.
DON'T be afraid to be modest. Try to avoid showing the buddha belly with a nice one piece on the beach.
