Random Pictures Summer 2009

Good Fun at Jungle Java!














Olivia loves her CJ. Sometimes she loves just a little too much but overall she does very well with the kitties and CJ does very well tolerating all the attention from Olivia!











Our pool time has been limited this summer (which stinks with it being the hottest summer on record down here) but we have managed to get some quality water time.










Olivia's new play sink from Aunt Chelle & Uncle Alex!











Our goofy girl... she asks to have her picture taken all the time but then makes these funny faces.













Olivia decided to use her birthday money to purchase the Yo Gabba Gabba characters. This is the strangest show that has ever been created (and voted #1 creepiest I might add) but Olivia loves it. We finally got all the characters and they became all consuming. She had to have her picture taken with them, they had to go everywhere with us in the car, they had to be lined up just perfectly in her bed at bedtime.... they were her world!


























One day my MOMS Club had an outing to McDonalds so the kids could play in the indoor play area out of the heat. They happened to have these miniature Ty Beenie Babies in the happy meal. Well, the quest was on and now we were carrying "Happy Meal Friends" (as she called them) with us in the car, taking pictures and lining them up at bedtime. UGHYou can see the progression as new ones were released each week.Rest assured, we now have them all.Thank you very much McDonalds *Glare*











Olivia's first night paci free. It has been a long, hard struggle making this adjustment. Little girl BIG DRAMA! She is doing better now but there are still tears and still sadness and she'll ask for it back in weak moments.

When we took the paci away I cut out naps. It seemed to help decrease the tears if she was exhausted at bedtime... which got moved up an hour to compensate for the lost sleep. Well, during "quiet time" she often falls asleep reading her books or playing with her stuffed animals, as you can see from the pictures.











Just some random pictures.


(Left) Olivia has decided she needs to help me rock Ava! LOL













Before I was cleared to get in the pool after my c-section Olivia would play in the little pool in her play yard.











Olivia and Breckin. She just adores Breckin and gets so excited when we see him! Although, based on the second picture below... I'm not sure if the feelings are reciprocated by Breckin. HA
