Rock and roll... and scoot.

Olive started out in the middle of the blanket. On her back. She's rolling and scooting backwards. Life is about to get very, very interesting. 

Busy weekend!

Olive had a busy weekend. We visited brand new baby Fletcher and I can hardly remember Olive being that small. She can sit on her own for a few seconds and she slurped on a peach. She enjoyed both of her new adventures. :)

5 Months!

Olive is 5 months old today. Her new seat arrived so she can sit at the table with us. I can't believe she can start eating food in a few weeks if she is interested in it. That will be interesting!



And a few from Easter that I'm just now getting uploaded. It was a fun day, one of the first nice ones we have had this spring.


And a few more from our visit to Iowa. :)I wish I had the camera out more, but these pictures confirm Great Grandma really loves both of her great-granddaughters!

Take me to the zoo!

Olive had her first trip to Como Zoo & Conservatory. It was really fun. She enjoyed watching the fish and seals the most and slept through some of the other exhibits. She even got to meet her great aunt Sherry and great uncle Gary after the zoo. What an exciting day!

She left her sunglasses on for a little while in the car, but we had better luck with the hat when we were walking around. 

All of the fresh air meant early to bed. Olive is fast asleep sucking her thumb, which I'm still trying to get a good picture of. It's pretty cute. She really got the hang of sucking her thumb on 4/22 (which is Earth Day-maybe she's trying to save on future pacifiers). :)

1st Easter

Happy Easter! 

4 months!

Olive is 4 months old today. Jill & I were talking this morning and it's a combination between
1)How can she be 4 months old already? It feels like she was just born yesterday! and
2)It's like she has been a part of our family forever!

Olive is a great baby, she's happy and smiley and is very good about playing with her toys by herself. Again no smiles for the camera this time, she smiles ALL the time, but once the camera comes out it's time to be serious apparently.

Likes-mornings, her activity mat, reading books, baths, talking and cooing
Dislikes-being hungry and not getting food fast enough, walking in the wind

The wiggles have started! I can see future monthly photos are going to be challenging. Olive is starting to scoot around when she's on the floor, has rolled front to back both ways a few times and has almost rolled from back to front. She will be on the move soon!

last day as a 3 month old

Today is Olive's last day as a 3 month old. She wanted to make sure she has a great day and slept 10 hours straight last night. That is a record by quite a bit. She has slept 8 hours a few times, and often sleeps 7-7.5 hours, but 10 blows that out of the water. She ate after 10 hours and went back to sleep for almost 2 more hours. Grandma must have tired her out yesterday.

Bright eyed and happy after her long sleep.
