Busy Weekend For Olivia

So this weekend has been a very social weekend for Olivia and us. Friday we were at Auntie Jenn and Uncle Trev's place with Auntie Em for dinner and she met Iggy face to face.

And then on Saturday we had Auntie Amanda and Uncle Ryan over for dinner, Olivia likes Amanda but she's not so sure of Ryan...LOL, sorry Ry, had to show it.

We had a really good week too. We went and met up with Yoga Jen and her little guy Jasper for coffee on Wednesday and then we went for a visit to Airdrie to see Auntie Renee and Danni. Then yesterday we went to the Mom & Tot fair. What a great place, not very stroller friendly, but great products and nic-nacks. Grandma Favreau bought Olivia a fabulous black hoodie with a Gun's n Roses type picture on the back that says "It's all about me right now" and she also bought her a pair of baby banz sunglasses. Daddy says she looks like a thug, I say biker babe! We'll post pictures when we have them.

Have a great rest of the weekend everyone!

Mr. Roboto Version 2.0

He made the threat, and now he's followed thru......Cy made a full suit of armor for Olivia out of the excess coke boxes we had sitting around. She patiently waited while dad "fitted" her for her armor and then she christened it by drooling on it. Too bad it's made of paper, not fit for drool.

You've Created a Monster!!!!

I thought I'd post my favorite scrapbook page that I've created so far. It's rather simple but I'm proud of it. (the orange around the edge isn't the actual paper, it's sitting on my album, so the page is just the green part). I'd like to blame this on Michelle but sadly, it's not entirely her fault, I've become addicted to scrapbooking, granted I'm only a beginner. But Michelle helped me make a book for Olivia's first year, and all I had to do was put in pictures and write-ups on her progress. But aparently that wasn't enough for me, I had to jump in with both feet, and now I'm hooked. You can find me lurking in the isles of Michaels a couple days a week and I salivate at the thought of their 40% off coupons coming in the flyers each week. So just a shout out to Michelle, thanks girl you rock!!! Enjoy!

Mr. Roboto....

Ok.....Miss. Roboto.......We can't help but torture our little girl. She's so much fun to play with, and she's so patient with us picking on her. Cy happend to be cleaning up the pop cans and decided to turn her in to a robot, he's threatened to create a whole body suit out of boxes for her.....LOL !!!!

Holding On For Dear Life

So Olivia's legs are getting pretty strong, and she's taken to standing (wobbling) on our laps when you hold her by the armpits. So Cy stood her on the floor today, MAN does she look short, but SO cute! So we propped her up infront of the ottoman and she happily stood there for a couple minutes watching tv. Granted she has this little booty dance she does, and sometimes she looks like Elvis thrusting her pelvis in and out (quite funny to watch!) but she's "standing" nonetheless!

3 Months & Counting !

Time flies when your having fun, and also when you have a baby! The first 2 months were a haze as they blew by, but thankfully this last month took a bit longer to go by so I really got to enjoy the little changes everyday. Olivia is holding her head up 99.9% of the time all by herself, she's a little wobbly when she wakes up but who isn't!! She loves reading her squishy books and sitting in her bounce and rock chair and she's talking....ALL THE TIME!! She's just like her mom, can't keep her mouth shut, right daddy!

Ready for the Weather!

Anyone else as sick of this weather as we are? Olivia and I are itching to get outside and go for walks and enjoy the fresh air. She likes to look out the window right now and she's trying to show me that she's ready to go out with her cool hat but no such luck today!

Bookworm

We've discovered Olivia is a bit of a bookworm. She loves looking at her Clifford book that Auntie Jenn & Uncle Trev gave her but she's never really interacted with it much...until now! We propped her and the book up in her bouncy chair a couple days ago for the first time, and now she's become this total bookworm. She sits for quite a while flipping thru the pages, yelling at the pictures and pulling on the little flaps. She also likes chewing on the pages, but hey, who doesn't enjoy a "good book" LOL (sorry bad joke, couldn't help myself!)

This Thing Corners Like It's On Rails !

We've had some pretty fun days around the house lately, so I figured I'd show you them via a billion pictures, ok just a couple but it seems like a lot.

Olivia's doing really well on her tummy time lately and her neck is getting stronger so we've taken to putting her in an assortment of seats. She likes being in her high chair and watching mom make her bottles in the morning, although it seems to me that she's done with the bottles and is ready for solids in this picture (whaddya mean I've gotta wait a couple more months!!!)

And yesterday we decided to bring up her bouncy car from the basement. I wanted to see if she'd like it, as you can see, she did. Of course we had to do a bit of tweaking, there's a tupperware container underneath her feet so they reach and she's padded to the hilt with blankets (we call those baby air bags LOL) so she wont wobble all over.


Otherwise mom and dad are doing ok, mom's still trying to get over this bug she's got, and dad is still pouting because the Flames lost on saturday.

OUCH, That Hurts !!!

So this past week Olivia had her first shots. Needless to say, I was more terrified than she was. I'm proud of myself, I didn't cry, but I sure wanted to! She got three needles, two in one hip and one in the other. She SCREAMED at me, she was so mad, I swear that she's gonna remember this when she's older!!! And everyone told us they'd have this bell that we could ring that would distract her from her crying.....um ya, WHAT BELL??? No bell for us, nothing, nadda, just me holding back my tears as this lady punctures my babies hips with a needle the size of a crayon!! ok, well it wasn't that big, but pretty darn close.

But I'm glad to report that she didn't have any side effects, no fever or anything. Her hips didn't even seem to be sore the next day. So hopefully next time her shots will go better, less crying and preferably a smaller needle :)

Me and My Brothers

This morning we decided that we needed another picture of Olivia and her brothers. It helps show how much she's grown in the last couple months (I swear it's all cheeks!!) Enjoy!

Hanging with mom....Literally!

So I wanted to post a picture of Olivia and I using our cuddly wrap. I've had requests from some of the other moms I know about what it looks like and such. So here she is! She even put on her pretty bracelette for the picture. She really enjoys being in it, when I turn her around so she's facing me she falls asleep instantly! And when she's facing out, her legs and arms are always kicking and flying about!!!
