Unfortunately for Ben he came down with a stomach bug Friday night, which subsequently changed our boating plans for Saturday. Boating changed into a fun day at Kristen's pool with our friends. Elizabeth and Jim were in town visiting! Still a great day filled with lots of WaWa time for Olivia. It also allowed me to leave her home with Daddy that night so that I could have dinner with everyone to celebrate the 3 July birthday's.

| A bonus: She learned how to say cheese for pictures now. A big step for us because it helps her to look at me! |
Thankfully by the time I returned home Saturday night Ben seemed to be feeling better so that our Sunday plans could remain. Which meant we were off to Cocoa Beach to frolic in the sand and sun. OK so there was no frolicking, but there was stumbling and falling on Olivia's part. She has not quite figured out how to walk gracefully in the sand yet, but she tries so hard. We also had a first, Olivia sucked on her first Cheetos, one of my favorite snacks. She LOVED it and had an orange smile and hand to prove it. Even with overcast skies we had a great time chatting with each other, and Olivia played with Annabell, which was adorable.
I am pretty sure that we brought home more sand then there was at the beach because after we all took our showers and bath's the bottom of the tub looked like the beach! Poor Olivia I had to wash her a twice just to get all the sticky sand off. That was even after we rinsed her before we left the beach. I guess I can see what it will be like when she is asking to be buried when she is old enough.
We capped off the weekend with a quick dinner where Olivia got her first side off a real menu. She downed her order of mashed potatoes and our super nice waiter even brought her a little ice cream. She was so excited, but not when Mommy said she had enough. I wanted her to sleep and not be up all night! Yea a little selfish, but hey it was a work night after all.
