In Leia's 5th week of life we finally left the house for a little vacation to Santa Rosa for our friends Zeena and Rob's Wedding. Leia's 1 month birthday was the same day as Zeena's Wedding, July 26, 2013. She was a perfect guest, happy and quiet the whole time (except for when she was screaming at the car with Dad and not taking her bottle...boob to the rescue!) We also visited Leia's Great Grandmother Mary Anne (whom her middle name, Marian, is named after) and her Great Aunts in Fairfield, where we had a fun lunch and family photo shoot. Leia also had many firsts this week: first time in the ocean, first time swimming, and first month of life complete!

| Apparently its really comfortable to sleep with your arms above your head...like father, like daughter! |

| Leia's first dip in the ocean...it was very cold! |
 |
| Happy baby recovered quickly from her water trauma. |
 |
| Lovely ladies at the beach. |
 |
| It was an overcast day, we didn't stay too long, and we really did keep her under this shade cover, but Leia got pretty fried, as you will see in the rest of her pics from this week. (I got fried on my feet as well, but no one else even got color...weird!) |
