Vegas and my marathon pea

Wow. I have been so tired the past few days. Many exciting things have been going on around these parts. This past weekend we drove to Vegas to celebrate my little sister's 21st birthday. The night before we left I did not want to go because I missed my sweet pea already. Isn't it just nuts? Two days away from her and I got teary-eyed hearing her babble on the phone. She stayed with my parents and I trust them as much as I trust myself but I could not help but call every hour to check on her. They got tired of it I am sure but they used to be the same way with us!
It was a nice mini-vacation, I won't lie. Not a vacation from my daughter (I do not need that) but an opportunity for us to just stop for a minute. Catching some sun and sipping on a cocktail with girlfriends never hurt anyone. It was refreshing.

It made me happy that we showed my sister a good time and we were able to get on the guest list of the lounge at the Wynn hotel called Blush. It was beautiful and we had a blast.

We all had a chance to just be together and unwind from lives full of career building, university going, and more. We walked, and laughed, and window shopped.


The day before we left, we took the little one on a picnic at the park across the street. I love that she is so used to being out in nature and still loves looking at trees and the sky. The weather is getting so beautiful here in San Diego (except for this week) and I am looking forward to many fun days in the sun showing Olivia all the wonders of this city.


The pea is really becoming mobile. She does not crawl, but she rolls so quickly! It is almost scary. Now she has to play on the floor on a sheet because a blanket is just not big enough. Olivia also does a funny and awkward sort of backward scoot to try and reach all the fun things she is not allowed to play with. I will try to get a video of it. I can already tell my hands are going to be really full with this tiny tot.
