Pictures of O and a Big Belly

Olivia has changed so much in the past few weeks! She's talking in sentences and knows a ton of new words. We're working on colors, counting and her ABCs. She loves to dance and demands we dance with her all the time! Her favorite things to do are color, play outside and eat, but you wouldn't know about the last one from looking at her since she only weighs 21 pounds! The doctor calls her a "grazer" and she eats very healthy food, almost all the time, but she just doesn't seem to gain much weight. She is constantly telling us she's hungry and that she wants to "eat, please"! She's also working on using her potty, but doesn't seem to think it's as cool as Mommy and Daddy do! Her least favorite thing to do is say she's sorry, which automatically means you're in for a battle to get her to do so!

Here are some pictures of bathtime, baking cupcakes with Mommy, sledding with Daddy and just hanging out at home:



Baby Boy is growing! Just a couple more months and we'll get to meet him, even if we can't pick out a name to save our lives. Now that I'm almost in my 30th week, his head is finally in proportion to the rest of his body. His brain can control primitive breathing and body temperature control, and his eyes now move in their sockets. He should be about 3 pounds and he has toenails! He is becoming sensitive to light, sound, taste and smell but I have to wonder, how do they know a baby can smell in utero?
Here's a picture of the ever-expanding belly:

WELCOME HOME DADDY!

After a long week in Washington, D.C., Daddy's home! Olivia was very happy and loved her treats that Daddy brought home to her. I let her stay up until 10:00 and although we thought she would sleep in this morning, she was up before 7:00. So Aaron let me sleep in and when I came downstairs, this is what I saw:
A headful of "pretties" - Olivia was very happy!
Here's a picture of her talking on the phone with Daddy while he was gone:

Just seeing if it works...

I converted to the newer version of Blogger and just wanted to see if it works, so here's a picture of Olivia and Grandma at Christmas, getting her Build-A-BoBo:

And another one of O looking hot-fine in her warmup suit:

They're getting bigger!

We had some requests for some updated pictures of the puppies, but they just won't hold still long enough to get a really good one! They're moving around like CRAZY and are so playful! Olivia is having a great time with them, but us, not as much...
Here are a couple of pictures I did manage to capture:

These two are my favorite ones!
But I'm still not keeping one...

Olivia with her favorite one!

Warm Weather!?

On one hand it's really scary that the weather is so warm out, but on the other hand, it was nice to take advantage of it this past weekend! It reached 60 degrees on Saturday! We got outside, did some shopping and went for a walk. Here are a couple of pictures of Olivia and her trike.

2007!

Happy New Year!
We hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and a wonderful New Year's! Olivia had a great time in Michigan and Indiana, and even managed to make a stop in Ohio for a visit with Mommy's Aunt Denise, Uncle Marshall and Cousins Brain, Colin, Baby Adam and almost 6-year-old Abbey! Olivia did a pretty good job on the 13 hour car ride but really didn't sleep much at all. Mommy kept her entertained with toys and books and as many lovies as Olivia could get her hands on.

She was officially spoiled by all those who love her. She got so many presents we had to leave a few behind! Not that I'm complaining...

Baby Boy Humphrey is doing fine! He's kicking all the time. We have another appointment next Wednesday to check on the little guy. Olivia currently is serving a double ear infection sentence and isn't too happy about it. She takes her medication like a champion, but also has a cold with a cough. Poor little girl. It hit her hard this year!

Unfortunately I deleted all my Michigan pictures so I'm waiting for Kiley to send me some so I can post them on O's blog! While we wait, here are some Indiana and Ohio pictures to look at.

Hanging out in pj's on the steps - a favorite place to play!

Check out O's New Ride!

Nope, not going to pose for the camera.

And this is how Miss Olivia spent most of the car ride home...

Olivia (and her runny nose) with her cousins Colin, Baby Adam and Abbey!

Olivia and Aunt Denise.
At least Aunt Denise will smile for the camera...
