Summertime in November

This weekend, we drove to Pirenopolis - a small, historic town, for some fun in the sun.

We stayed at a really great place that had a wonderful swimming pool..

...monkeys to feed (can you see him?)

...and cozy, canopied beds.

They even had a sweet kitten for me to pet!

Oh yeah, we ate some yummy ice cream, and frozen açaí, too!

By the way, have I told you I'm going to be a Big Sister? That's my baby sister in Mommy's belly (I don't think Mommy was ready for this picture!) I can't wait for the baby to arrive in April!

Saturday, we went on an off-road excursion to this Cachoeira - it was beautiful!

I had a great time, and am ready to go back!

Beach Encounters of the First Kind

Can you believe I'm almost 2 1/2 years old, but had never been to the beach? That is, until last weekend! I think it was worth the wait, for my first beach visit was to one of the beautiful praias in Rio de Janeiro!

We went to a small beach near Tio Alex' house. We had to climb down a lot of big rocks to get down to the water.

I admit, I was a little nervous at first.

...But, Daddy and Mommy held on tight!

We couldn't swim at this beach, the waves were too big, but we had a great time watching the surfers!

...And, wrapped up with a wonderful sunset over the water.

Beauty Salon Baby

Today I went for my first Beauty Salon Haircut! I've had many haircuts at home, but never the "celebrity treatment" of a salon!

Mommy gave me some Smarties candy, so I would be very, very still while the lady worked some magic with the scissors
Blow dry time was much easier!

Piece of cake - and I think I look simply maaah-velous!

Not again!

Trying to pretend there's not a camera in my face...

Got Candy?

I had a spooky-fun week, full of Halloween festivities! It all wrapped up with Trick or Treating with my friends at the Embassy! I dressed up as a red M&M, although I could've passed for a cheerleader, too!With my best friends, Michael and Anna. Michael dressed as Nemo, and Anna was Minnie Mouse!
Checking out all my loot!
...But, I really didn't eat that much candy - one tootsie pop kept me busy the whole time!

Posing with Mommy & Daddy
This pretty much sums it up...
