Look at all my teeth!

I just got a new computer so I figured I'd add a few more pictures to O's blog to see how it goes. Here are a few more pictures from last weekend. Enjoy!

And there are more on the way!

Last of the Summer Heat?

As we enjoy what we hope is the last of the summer heat wave, Olivia has been enjoying a few late summer adventures. We're taking advantage of Mommy not working and recently accompanied Daddy to Burlington while his firm is working on a project there. We wandered around the UVM campus and Olivia had a great time making some noise on their bell, eating out, swimming, and shopping with Mommy. We also attended the 57th Annual Cornish Fair where we watched our friend Xandra get crowned the Fair Princess. So much fun!

The UVM Boulder. Olivia thought it was the coolest ball she had ever seen!

Hitting the bell was lots of fun!

Xandra has a blue tiara! Olivia and Nora look on in awe.

Gettin' DOWN with Stella at the Fair.
Stella really has some sweet moves!
Notice how O can't dance without her tongue out.
Thanks, Aunt Kiley, for passing that one on.

Beauty was just 24 hours old when Olivia got to pet her (with one finger, of course).

Boston Pictures


On the town!


Looking at Nana's pictures.








Olivia does NOT want her picture taken at this moment, thank you very much.

1st Hair Cut!

Olivia's first hair cut at Snip-its in Boston!
Daddy and Nana took about a million pictures, but here are just a few of them.

She was such a good girl!

The finished product!

A Weekend in Boston





Olivia had a great time in Boston last weekend visiting with Aaron's mom, her Nana. We did a ton of walking, shopping, eating and site-seeing! Olivia got her first hair cut, some new clothes, a new babydoll and stroller, and had a wonderful time hanging out at the Public Gardens. She tried some new food and as it turns out, loves Lobster Bisque! We had a great time and look forward to seeing Nana and Grandpa this October. Here are a few pictures of our Boston adventures!

Chit Chat and Playdates

17 months old!
Olivia has become quite the talker lately! She always has something to say but usually we can't quite understand what it is she is trying to verbalize. It's pretty funny to hear her go on and on about something. Here is a list of all the words she knows thus far, at least all the words we can understand:

  • Mama or Mommy
  • Dada or Daddy
  • Please
  • Pooh
  • BoBo (means dog, it's Lori's dog's name so all dogs are BoBo, even poor Cassidy)
  • Delilah (sounds like DA-lilah)
  • Ball
  • Shoe
  • Wow!
  • Baby and Babies
  • I love you (sounds like A-Looo)
  • Cheese
  • Thank you (sounds like tank-oo)
  • Eye
  • Juice
  • More (sounds like mo)
  • Uh-oh!
  • Mmmm (means it's good!)
  • Yes (she shakes her head for no, but hasn't really said it yet)
  • Beep Beep (which means excuse me)
  • Noodle
  • She sings "Ring Around the Rosie"

She's also finally 20 pounds! We're so excited! She has another round of shots coming up in a few weeks so I'll see if she has gained any weight by then. She eats like crazy but runs around even more. Her favorite activies are playing with her puzzles, reading, playing cars, chasing the dog and cat, sliding, climbing, swimming and dancing. Once anything with a good beat starts up on the stereo, you can't keep this child still! It's so funny to see her hands waving around from the back seat and her head bopping to the beat. She loves music and tries to play the piano with Aaron. She went to her first concert over the weekend, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. They are a Vermont band and it was an outdoor concert in Massachusetts. She danced the evening away and had a blast entertaining everyone around her!
She's been pretty busy lately with playdates and getting ready to head to Boston to meet up with Aaron's mom (Nana). She met some friends at the Montshire Museum on Tuesday and also visited a new baby!
