Wild THING!!!!

.... You make my heart sing
.....You make everything groooovy!!!



Daddy's not a fan of this look but Mommy thinks you look cool!!!

The Beach

Well Livie this weekend past was our first weekend together at the beach. I know you've been there before with your big cuz Sarah but this was OUR first time. You had the time of your life there. Jack couldn't go because he had to go to his cousin Jake's birthday party but we'll have fun with him the next time we go. I told everyone that the next time I take you to the beach I was going to have to bring some babysitting reinforcements. You were such a busy girl!! I had to pay Logan 5 bucks to watch you for 20 minutes just so I could take a break!!







By the end of the day your face was full of sand and strawberries....(and so was I!!)

Kissin Cuzins

Have you ever seen anything cuter than this? This is you and your cousin Max at Grampy's house on Father's Day!!

You & Jack

Here's a pic of you and your big brother Jack. You love him more than anything I think. The best part of the day is when you wake up in the morning and we sneak into Jack's room to wake him up. You walk right up to his bed and look him straight in his sleeping face and scream!! It's become a game to you both. He pretends to be still asleep (even though you woke him up) and you scream and scream until you get a reaction from him.

Looking Back

It's been a while since I've written anything about you Olivia. It is now June 16th, and it's five minutes to midnight. Daddy is away for the night and I had a much needed nap when you went to bed....kicking and screaming I might add. You're teething these days and right now you have what looks like about six teeth coming in. Bed time is a challenge. Your gums are hurting and my GOSH I wish there was something I can do to take the pain away. It takes anywhere from one to two and a half-hours to get you to settle for the night these days. You go down fine and just when I think you're asleep I hear you upstairs in your crib. On a normal, non-teething night you may be up there talking to yourself in your mirror, but not now....now you just scream....UH UUUHHHHH!!!! UGGHHHHH!!!!! Me and Daddy have been averaging about three or four trips into your room a night to comfort you. I'm not normally one to endorse medicating children but thank heaven's for tylenol. I should be wise now and give it to you about an hour before you go to bed. I love you sweetie and I hope these teeth come in real soon so your pain goes away.

Anyways, this post was supposed to be just short and sweet. I wanted to show how much you've grown since last year. Here you are exactly one year ago today in your cousin Becca and Mitchell's pool on Aunt Annette's deck:



And here you were last week in the backyard. You're such a big girl now! You love this swing!
