Ode to Shrek...

So the other day when I was feeding olivia her peas (which she doesn't seem to like incidentally) she decided that the peas looked better on the outside than in. And she does seem rather proud of herself for it too! She also wanted control of the spoon, I wasn't sure if she'd gag herself but the peas were doing a pretty good job of that so I let her have it. I think the spoon feels good on her gums cause all I could hear was the spook squeeking against them! LOL

mmm Pickles !




So we thought we'd get a funny reaction out of Olivia if we gave her a pickle, sadly no such luck. She's all about the pickles, not one sour face at all. It was funny tho to see her munching on it, not that she got any of the pickle but she tortured it for a bit then was done with it and tossed it on the floor. LOL

Alyssa's First Birthday



We had a great time at Alyssa's first birthday this past weekend, we went to the park and Olivia went on her first slide with daddy and her first swing, she really liked them, I think we'll have to go to the park more often at home now! we also had cake (ok, mom and dad had cake, Olivia got none, sorry kiddo!) but that was fun LOL.

5 Months and counting....



Time flies when your having fun, and we've been having a ton of fun. So here we are and almost a year has passed since Olivia was born! I'm just in awe of her, she's such an amazing little munchkin, she surprises me everyday.

Rollin, Rollin, Rollin....

Olivia Rolled Over!!! The little munchkin was trying to get away from me while I was playing dressup with her (making sure her new clothes fit) and she rolled over, it took a second to register in my brain, then all of a sudden I yelled, SHE ROLLED OVER!!! I scared the poop outta Cy who was sitting in the same room LOL. So of course we sat there with the camera waiting and it wasn't long before she did it again. Although she has encountered one problem, once she rolls over she's lying on one of her arms and can't get it out from under her LOL. I'm so proud of our little girl, I'm almost weepy! (Don't worry, we didn't let her roll off the ottoman, even though it looks like she's gonna go for it LOL)

Breakfast time is fun!

So I've been working on the cereal with Olivia for breakfast cause she's so intent on watching us when we eat, she pays very close attention to our forks going from our plates to our mouth. So during breakkie one morning I took some pictures, as you can tell it was a happy morning and she was enjoying her food, well she enjoyed making a mess with it anyway. Olivia is getting bigger and more active everyday. She's SO close to rolling over, her arm is the only thing stopping her from going all the way over, she can't figure out how to move it out of the way yet. And she's starting to get a bit more balance when she's sitting, she wobbles her head to keep her balance, it's like having my own bobble head! LOL But she's still not ready to sit quite yet, she lasts for about 5 seconds before she topples to one side or another.

Daddy Says No Bikini's !!!

While we were in Kenora we took Olivia for her first swim. She wasn't quite sure what this whole really bit tub thing was and why mom and dad were in it with her and why it was so darn cold! (Her little lip quivered when we first got in, it was really cute!) She kicked a little bit but more or less just let mom and dad tool her around the pool, I think we had more fun than she did, but it was a momentus occasion so of course he had to photograph it! Besides it was her first time in a bathing suit and according to dad it had to be a one piece, no bikini's till she's too old and wrinkled to show off her goods! LOL.

Olivia's First Airplane Ride

So this past weekend we all went on a family trip to Kenora, Ontario to surprise Olivia's Great Grandma on her 80th birthday. And Olivia took her first airplane ride, as you can see she has a thing for headphones, specially gramma's headphones, they must taste nummy or something. Olivia did great one the plane. On the way there it was a very early flight so she slept during takeoff and landing but played in between, but on the way home it was later in the afternoon so she cried right up until we took off, but then had a nap on my tray table, it worked perfectly! Oh....and if any of you are wondering what it's like to change a baby on an airplane change table....it's interesting, cramped and loud but interesting nonetheless.
