Story Time And Just Being Silly!

Friday night Olivia was FINALLY feeling 110% better...we got knocked out with a hefty cold about a week and a half ago...first time Olivia has been sick and I don't want to see that again anytime soon! She was being super silly playing on the floor, crawling all over the house and playing the music on her new kitchen (she loves this toy...highly recommended)!

Mom, don't you think I can take this off now???

YESSSS...It's OFF! I'm having a really hard time keeping bows on Olivis right now, as you can see!

Dad, don't you think it looks better like this?
Mom, did you get a picture of my new kitchen...make sure you get it!

I see you....


Mom, if you don't put that camera down I'm going to get you!

After being silly and taking a bath Olivia had story time with Chad...she a) loves our bed and b) gets so excited when it's story time! (story time we need to do more often, but we fit it in when we can). I didn't have any photos of this yet, so I couldn't resist the two of them cuddled up in our bedroom reading books..seriously, how cute are they?!?!

Mom, what'd I say about that camera...

Botanical Gardens With Friends!!!

This past Wednesday we made a trip to the Botanical Gardens to visit the children's area with Andrea and Keily...it was so much fun! (for those of you that leave in St. Louis, Monday and Wednesday's are free and children under 3 are free everyday into the children's area). I had never been in the Children's area...it's HUGE with great things for kids to explore on...obviously Olivia just took it all in, but Keily was ALL OVER the place and LOVED it!

We will definitely be back to try this out with Olivia next year for sure!

Da-Da!

Yes, that's correct...Miss Olivia is now saying Da-Da! I got so excited that I think I scared her - ha!

Earlier today when I got home from being out, Chad said..."I think she said Da-Da..." my response, "really?" Chad, "Sounded like it..." So, when I heard her say it tonight (just me, Chad's at a dinner) I kept repeating it and she would say it right back to me...it was pretty comical...however I said it she would repeat it right back to me that same way, UNTIL I started getting too excited and then she looked at me like I was crazy!!!

Olivia is also VERY mobile this week...still not a full crawl, but her legs are flying everywhere and she pulls so hard with either her forearms or hands it's crazy. She definitely has the army crawling thing down for sure! I think Chad edited a video, if so, I'll post it.
