6 Months Already!

It's been a while since my last post and in that time our little one has turned 6 months, hard to believe.

In her short life she has become a traveler, she has already been to the Virgin Islands, Indianapolis, IN and Charlotte, NC!

I returned to work a few weeks ago and am back to working full-time hours, I do have the flexibility to work from home a few days a week, which makes it much easier! I'm able to see Olivia during the day and listen to her and Jeff play while I'm working. She is a squealer when she's happy and has a wonderful laugh. She loves to play games with her daddy and laughs at Savannah, especially when Savannah kisses her toes!

We love watching her grow and figure out the world around her! She started eating cereal a few weeks ago and had her first "real" food this week... Sweet Potatoes! She seems to like things with flavor. Next week I think we'll introduce either green beans or prunes... YUM!

Here are some pictures from our trip to NC where all 6 granddaughters were together...Thanksgiving this year should be a lot of fun!

And some other cute random shots from the past few weeks.

Tummy time and no tears!

Olivia rolled on her tummy today and actually pushed up from her arms to look around and she did not cry! Usually the second she is on her tummy the crying starts and after 5 minutes it is a total melt down.


















She also LOVES her elephant "Ellie", loves to chew on the trunk and hold onto her. Thought this was too cute!

High Chair, Cereal and Sippy!

Livie had a big day today!

Her first time in her “high chair”, she seemed to like this, liked that she was sitting up and able to be with me in the kitchen while I washed bottles and cleaned up a bit. Her first cereal, which she did really well with, she ate almost all of it! And…her first time with a sippy cup, she knows that it is supposed to go in her mouth and almost got it by herself, she did really well when we gave it to her and did actually drink a little water.

So much in one day for such a little girl!

Drool...

Need I say more!

Magnaw and her girls

Magnaw is the name that Chloe has given my mom for Grandma, so that is what we are calling her.

Here are a few pictures of Magnaw with half of her grand daughters, soon we will have pictures with all six!

Happy Birthday Jeff!

Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband who turns 40 today!

To celebrate he went golfing on this beautiful day and shot a 77! Way to go! Tonight we are having a nice steak dinner with corn on cob and baked potatoes...yum!

Olivia was so funny when I was taking these pictures, she wouldn't take her hand out of her mouth or look at the camera much, but she enjoyed playing with the paper, which eventually made it into her mouth and was full of drool.

Sleepy Baby

This afternoon I put Olivia in her jump-a-roo so I could put some laundry in, she was playing for a while and then I didn't hear her... this is what I found when I went to check on her. :-)

Feet, Feet, Feet!

Olivia has found both her feet and when she doesn't haveon any clothes has found out how fun it is to hold on to both of them and pull toward her face. So far she has not put them in her mouth, but I'm sure that is to come.




She had quite a week since Monday, in addition to being very sleepy on Monday from staying up too late on Sunday night, she seems to have started teething and the drool is increasing, along with the being a bit fussy. Monday and Tuesday she was quite a bear at times and nothing we did seemed to make her happy, but as the week went on and she finally started sleeping again during nap time, she has returned to her normal happy self!

Mother's Day

My first Mother's Day was a good one! We went to my brother's for lunch with my mom and the rest of the family, then went out to dinner with Jeff's family to celebrate with his mom.

Olivia had quite a day and stayed up until 11 pm! She is zonked this morning and is catching up on some zzzz's.

My New Hat

A friend of mine I worked with made Olivia this very, very cute hat, along with some cute toys. She looks too cute in this, her daddy thinks she should be a baby model. Could I use the word cute more...probably!

Sunny Day in May

It was a nice day today the sun actually was out for a while so we sat outside with Olivia and took a ton of pictures. Here are just a few...
