My mom and Steve came up for a few days so that my mom could attend the Brave New Voices<\/a> international spoken word competition that was being hosted here in the Bay Area (she works with a group of youth from Long Beach that were competing this year) and so they decided to make a trip out of it and come spend some time with us too.\u00a0 The competition was amazing (I attended one of the day’s events) and although the LB team didn’t win it was so inspiring being there and hearing their amazing work.<\/p>\n

Here are some photos from their visit, including Sirena’s first time in a swimming pool!<\/p>\n

We went to a car show in Danville where Steve’s nephew’s car was being shown and Sirena seemed to enjoy herself almost as much as her Daddy did!<\/p>\n

Hot rods make her happy, apparently!<\/em><\/p>\n

We then went to dinner at a yummy Italian restaurant…<\/p>\n

No meal is complete without a chocolate-dipped cone from Foster’s Freeze!<\/em><\/p>\n

And now for the photos you’ve all been waiting for…when we found out that the pool at my mom’s hotel was heated we immediately went out to Babies R Us for some swimming diapers, strapped on her first bathing suit, and got the cameras ready!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Diaper duty before hitting the waves (the smallest waterproof diapers were for 16-26 pound babies and she was only around 12 pounds at the time so we just had to fold them over quite a bit and pray that there weren’t any accidents in the pool [luckily there weren’t!)<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“Hey Daddy!”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Can’t forget the baby sunscreen!\u00a0 Getting a massage from Mom.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Suited up and ready to go!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I think she was a little nervous, just judging by this photo, haha.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here we go!<\/em><\/p>\n

My mom took a video of her first dip in the pool, check it out here<\/a>!<\/h3>\n

She was totally at home in the water and we see swimming lessons in her future!\u00a0 She’s our little fish and we loooove how much she enjoyed herself in the pool.\u00a0 Here are more photos of the lady being passed around…<\/p>\n

Swimming with Nani<\/em><\/p>\n

She was in the pool for at least an hour (maybe more?) and she eventually passed out in her Nani’s arms…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After getting dried off and into some warm clothes she sat around with her Aunt Jessie soaking in the last rays of sunshine of the weekend…<\/p>\n
