A Day Out...

Recently Greg, Lu, and I went to the Outdoor Discovery Center. This place is great and if you ever want to take a nice, relaxing walk without a lot of other people around you have to check it out. I think we picked one of the hottest days but we all managed quite well and had a great time. (Other than for that annoying fly that for a few hundred feet would NOT leave me alone!)

One of the cool things about the center is that they have an air conditioned little building that you can go into at the front that has a lot of taxidermy and small living "creatures" in tanks and cages. There is a screech owl that talks to you whenever you approach him (although I don't think he is always saying nice things). Lu enjoyed watching the painted turtle which turned out to be quite entertaining.

This and That

What's been going on? Well, I haven't been posting...but I think you have all realized that! Instead I have been working, going to doctor appointments, running errands, keeping up on the house, and most importantly spending more time with Olivia and Greg. I must say right now I feel very weird because Olivia is asleep and Greg is playing paintball for a bachelor party. It's so quiet here! I have taken this down time to get some stuff done for me, like painting my toenails, taking a hot bath, checking email. It's nice time to have but I honestly would trade it to have Greg hanging out with me. I am glad that he had the opportunity to play tonight. It is one of his favorite past times that he hasn't done in a very long time. Oh...what's that sound? The garage door! Yeah, Greg's home...I guess this concludes this blog! :) Be back the next time I have a spare moment...

A Few Snap Shots...

Here are some pictures from the past month.....
She has some of the cutest and craziest expressions sometimes! Totally adorable!!!

Teething Turmoils

Olivia cut her first tooth this past Wednesday. Honestly, I would not have even known had my mother not told me that she had a tooth. Now, this second tooth has been a different story. While I didn't even realize the first one had come the second one has been very obvious to its impeding arrival. Fever, Rash, Icky BM's, Runny Nose...she has had it all. Throughout all of this though she has been in a pretty good mood. I gotta hand it to her, she is quite a trooper!

This is her teething face. I have noticed that she tends to suck in her bottom lip more frequently during this phase of development. It is quite cute!

Growing Up So Quickly!

Olivia is sitting up now! Something on TV apparently has her quite captivated in this picture. It is so crazy how quickly she changes and learns things. Her new thing the last few days has been shaking her head "no" at you.

I finally took Olivia to the nursery at church this past Sunday and she left quite a first impression. When I came to pick her up she had been changed into a different outfit because she thought she'd initiate her new care givers with an over-filled diaper. What is kind of funny is that someone who over heard me telling Greg about it later that afternoon said to me "Oh- it was your daughter who had the blowout, I heard about that." Now isn't that something to make you feel like a proud parent! Needless to say, I don't think they'll forget who Olivia is now.

Oh- and she slept 9 hours straight last night! Yeah!!!
