The dog days of summer are very popular around here because Vivien loves to go down to the river. Ever since beach weather arrived, Vivi has been into go down there as much as possible. She loves climbing on the rocks and wading in the water. Just like last summer, she loves to go deep, up to her chin pretty much! She loves splashing and swinging in the water with us and she loves all the little creatures and shells that there is to see down there.
Vivi is a good eater and will eat lots of things that Ryder won't, but even though we have strawberries growing in the yard, she still isn't into berries! When Ryder and I are picking strawberries, she always wants some too, but then she takes a tiny bite/licks it/pretends to eat it and then tosses it! Maybe next summer!
Vivi has always like to play with water in the sink, like when I'm cleaning or doing dishes, but now she likes to play with frozen water. I've come out a couple of times now to find that she's taken the tray of ices cubes outside and is playing with them on the porch. She likes to hold them and watch them melt, push them around on the porch, and of course, throw them. She also likes to lick them, which is a problem after she's rubbed them all over the porch!
Thanks to the unrequested haircut that Ryder gave Vivi last summer, her hair is just now long enough to put in a little ponytail. Her hair is super curly now too. The slightest bit of humidity and she has a little Shirley Temple do going on.
Vivi is a little imitator at this point. Anything anyone does, she likes to get in on it. This summer she has been imitating my yoga moves, which is super cute! She does a couple of cool moves and she also practices handstands on the wall!
