HAPPY HAPPY Birthday to Ryan!

Today was a great day, it was Ryan's birthday! Mama and I drove to see him and wish him a great day. We will celebrate his day at our house later, but for now I just wanted to give him cuddles and kisses. I love him so much.
I also visited with Kyle, which I love to do. Also with Auntie Vonnie, who is so great. Tyler and I cuddled too. I am so lucky I have them in my life.

I then went to visit Grandma Sara and Grandpa Larry. I cried. Then I got almost naked and did not cry anymore. I like going there and cuddling with Grandma Sara.

Happy Eyes, Happy Heart

I grew up this morning, and was so happy! I just love life! It is so exciting to learn new things. My mama is trying to get me to hold onto my toys, but I really have no desire right now. For 2 reasons: 1. I still love my hands and 2. She really has not bought me what I really want, which is the pink kitchen at Potterybarn kids.

But I really enjoy life! I think adults need to relax more, and really take time to appreciate the little things. Like fun music, naps, warm bottles, burping (it makes my tummy feel so good) and best of all, cuddles and kisses.

My very own SUPER TUESDAY!

I hear super Tuesday has something to do with debates and who wants to be the boss of us, but that is boring. And it only happens once in a while. My SUPER TUESDAYS happen every Tuesday and are the BEST EVER! That is the day I get to go to Mrs. Vetras's house to play!!!

My mama told me on the weekend I was going, and I could not wait!! I took my bath Monday night and HOPED nothing would come up that would not let me go to her house. That scares me just thinking about that!

But Tuesday morning came, and mama said I was still going!! I was so excited I could not sleep or nap. When I go to Mrs. Vetras's house, we cuddle, play with Rudy, go on walks, but most fun for me is telling Mrs. Vetras's stories. She always believes my stories, which is why I love to tell them to her, because sometimes other people don't.

Today I told her all about the purple unicorn I saw while driving to her house. There was a pink and green monkey following him in a banana car while drinking a cup of coffee! And while other people would say, "Oh no, Olivia, that can't be!" Mrs. Vetras's asks me what the monkey was wearing!

When I was leaving, I told her a secret. I can not tell you what it was, but you can see in the picture it was a good one!

Just me and my Auntie Vonnie

Today was SO great! I slept in, and got to go to Costco. Oh how I love Costco! Then my wish came true! My Auntie Vonnie came over to play with me. I LOVE it when she comes over. I wish my mama and papa would not make me take a nap so I could just play with her all day. I screamed when they put me down so hard that they had to bring me back downstairs so I could play with her. I smiled because I got my way!

Auntie Vonnie gave me my bath, and we sang and danced together. I got lots of kisses from her, and I also talked to her a little bit. I told her a few stories and 2 secrets.

I can not wait for her to come over again. She said maybe next week, and I hope that is true, because I love having her over!!

Playtime with Opa!

Today was a great day! I did pretty good with tummy time, which made my mama so happy. When I am on my tummy I like to think about my life, and where it is going...

I was so good becuase I knew today was going to be a super day; my Opa was coming over to play with me!! I looked all over for him, waiting for him to arrive...is he here yet?

I avabidda with my eyes open and closed that I would be awake when he got to my house.

But I wasn't. I just could not keep my little tired eyeballs open long enough. I was so tired...

But when I woke up from my nap, there he was!! He played with me in my jungle gym, and carried me around the house while singing to me. My Opa loves to sing, a lot of songs I have never heard of. We danced and laughed, until I cried. Then I went to bed. When I woke up, I cuddled some more with my Opa.

I love it when he comes over to play with me!

I practiced my boxing skills because when I get older my Opa will pretend box with me, and I need to be good!

It's gonna be a great day!

The sun is shinning, and WE LOVE THE SUNSHINE! I grew so much last night in the storm that I can now read! See!! This book is very interesting to me...it really makes me stop and think...

What's that Mama? Time to go? Where?

COSTCO!!!! I love hanging out with my papa before I go to Costco. I love Costco, it is like a giant treasure hunt looking for goodies. I hope I get some cool things there today!

And I learned to Avabidda!

Say Cheese

It sure is nice to have Papa home! We missed him a lot! We have been having fun taking lots of neat pictures, so I am having my mama post my favorite ones!

This is me with the new coloring book my papa brought me back from Spain. One day we will color in it together.

Here I am SO big I can hold my own bottle AND stand up!

Don't I look cute in my carseat?! I love sitting in it because it means we are heading out for an adventure, and I LOVE adventures!

Three Cheers for Olivia's first wine party

We all know how mama LOVES to go to Auntie Jennifer's to drink a glass (or 7) of wine. Nothing is better then good company and a nice bottle of wine, and Jennifer has always been the place to go to get just that! I have a permanent chair at the counter, and was happy to share this fun experience with Obear!

Olivia spent the afternoon with Auntie Jennifer while

Mama got her hair cut. We then stayed to enjoy great food and stories with the other fun ladies! Olivia loved it! Lisa, Ann, Michelle, Lisa, Corine, and even Tami stopped by! It was a great time! (this is a picture of Michelle holding me...Michelle is who took the great photos when I was only 10 days old!)
