Garden Girl...

Olivia's 1st Bday party is going to be a Garden theme....I wanted to do something cute for pictures, so I made this flower out of foam and fabric. She looks so cute....I can't wait to get the invites done!

Ice Skating

Finally having some gorgeous weather....we headed to the local skating rink for a bit. Blake enjoyed going ice skating again, and I ice-strollered with Olivia. My skates are at the cabin, although they probably don't fit me anymore. It was nice to be out and get some fresh air!

Bake taking a break after about 10 minutes

Olivia....10 Months

10 Months.....10 Months. Only 2 tiny months until our baby girl is not technically a "baby" anymore. Olivia is a huge joy in our lives....most always smiling, laughing, growling, squealing....always always on the move.

I cannot wait until warmer weather is here, and we can go outside and play, and take bike rides, and go to the park. Olivia doesn't seem to mind all these -10degree mornings when we're heading to the car and into daycare....but I am done with them!

I have something really fun planned for her 1 year pictures (which will be done early so I can make them into her Birthday party invites!!).

I (heart) You

Love....that's what it is. And these 2 have a lot of it, I just hope it continues on in their lives as brother and sister. Blake pretty much just lets her climb all over him, smack him, slobber on him....he loves his sister, and she thinks he's pretty cool too.

....can't forget the other Baby, who also LOVES those 2 kids above!

Randoms

Bath time....the minute Olivia hears the faucet running in the tub, she zooms in there. She knows her bathtime is fun! So funny how much they already react to by 9 months.


We have a picture of Blake doing this exact thing...well he was more inside the fridge, almost trying to climb the shelves.


I was home with Olivia yesterday, her and I had a very late night at the ER. She woke up screaming, so I took her in....as we thought, she had an ear infection. Double. After finishing up there and going to the 1 Pharmacy open in St.Cloud at night, we got home and went to bed, 2:30am. Of course she was ready to be up by 7am.

Good Morning Mommy!

Upside down....boy you turn me

I have found that we have ourselves a child who Loves to be upside down....she will throw herself backwards when we're holding her and just thinks it's so funny! Now I know why parents who's kids do this, always have 1 on guard when they are together. You know....you've walked behind someone who's kid is up on their shoulders and bam....the kid flings backwards. That would be Olivia.


Blake was also having fun with this....although this picture makes it look like he was scared out of his mind. He was indeed laughing!
