Love the book- thank you Rose!

Today was such a super fun day! Mommy and Daddy took me to my first festival.  We went to the Loganville Fall Festival.  It was so much fun.  I saw so much stuff and so many people commented on how cute I was.  Mommy and daddy even bought me some goodies- hair bows, a dress, and a sticker! Mommy and daddy also ate lunch there too while I snoozed in the stroller.  This festival stuff is hard work.  After the festival mommy and I went to Gymboree.  I had so much fun.  Then mommy fed me at the mall and we went to a few stores.  Then I napped on the way home and didn't take an afternoon nap at home.  I played and ate really well today! I was really tired though before bath time and went to bed at 8:00 on the dot! I hope I get to go to more fun stuff like today. 

Don't ask why all the pictures are on top....

Super Good Friday

Today Olivia had an excellent day.  She gave no fuss to her daddy this morning and ate very well for him.  Also Olivia went to PT today and the PT said that her neck is looking much better.  It looks so good she doesn't have to go back until November 11th!! We are so happy that her neck is looking better.  She has gained more ability to turn her head to the right now.  We just have to continue putting lots of toys on her right and make sure that she keeps looking that way.  We also had success with the sippy cup again.  She even held it by herself today!  So happy today was a good day!

I got this mom... you can let go now!

School Field Trip

Tonight mommy took me to her school.  It was Fine Arts Night.  Some of her students performed some songs with their recorders and did a great job! The students loved to see me! Mommy surprised them with me.  I had fun while I was there.  I just mostly played with my toys in the stroller.  I did finally meet Kaylee one of mommies coworker's daughter- she also has a blog- Landon's Landing. Kaylee was born a few weeks before me so she is my barometer! I also saw Ms. Liz from Gymboree! I just love and miss her. I did great while I was at the school.  As soon as mommy put me in the car seat to go home,  I cried, and cried, and cried... ALL the way home.  Even as we pulled into the driveway I was still crying.  Mommy thinks I was hungry since it was around my usual bedtime bottle time. 

XOXO

Whoa... what is this?

So do I shake it?

Or roll it?  Mommy says you put stuff in it and she was very excited it was Charlie Brown!!

All Tricks, No Treats

Today I was a good girl for mommy and daddy.  I like to show them my new tricks.  I am becoming quite a daredevil.  Mommy soon thinks the bouncy seat will have to be put away because I like to reach out of it and today I almost got stuck sideways and half falling out.  I can go from sitting to my tummy.  I sit in my bathtub (picture coming soon- hard for mommy to take while bathing me).  I sit while mommy blow dries my hair.  I ate 3 Puffs after dinner today and drank lots of sips of water from the sippy cup tonight.  I surprised mommy the most tonight when I started scooting forward before bath time.  Each night we have sing and swing time, story time, then play time on the floor (rolling, sitting, stretches, tummy time) and then my bath.  During play time I scooted forward to reach a book and then to reach my piano.  Mommy was so proud of me.  She didn't want to disturb me and take my picture and just let me play.  I also got a special present yesterday for the upcoming holiday season- Thank you Santa.

Changing

Not only are the leaves starting to change but so is Olivia.  She is doing new things every day.  Today she did more transitions from sitting to her tummy.  Of course when I wanted to get some pictures she wouldn't do it.  Also today our neighbor Kristy came over to babysit for awhile so I could go to my faculty meeting at school.  Kristy and Olivia did great! They were both happy campers when I got home!

Olivia's 1st shopping cart ride

Columbus Day

YAY! Happy Columbus Day.  Today was an extras bonus day...well almost of family time...will explain later.  This morning Brendon got up and went hunting.  Olivia slept until 7:45 a.m.  Wahoo! By 9:00 a.m. I had a load of laundry in the dryer, Olivia fed, Jake fed, and myself fed.  Olivia has started transitioning from a sitting position to her tummy.  Yesterday she did it a bunch of times but today she needed some help to get her legs the right way.  While Olivia snoozed this morning I got some other housework done.  It feels good to have a somewhat clean house! After lunch today we went shopping.  We took Olivia to Target to get some diapers.  We let her ride in the shopping cart and used the shopping cart cover.  Little did we know we had it the wrong way.  I had the directions in the diaper bag but didn't want to look like an idiot using it.  Oh well we will get it right next time.  She did great in the cart.  We brought some toys so she could play but she just liked looking around.  We then went to Dick's Sporting Goods for some toys for daddy.  Then Brendon got the call of doom and he had to go into work tonight.  No one was happy about that... So hopefully he will get some extra time off later this week!  Olivia ate like a champ today and was talking up a storm this afternoon.  She did not want to nap after the shopping trip so it was a LONG afternoon. But it was fun!

Sitting- look at my cute pot belly!

Starting the transition

A little bit more.... and she quit after this stage today.

1st time in the shopping cart at Target

All the stuff in the cart is for me!!

My First Pumpkin Patch

Today I had so much fun.  Mommy woke me up and fed me and we played.  Then mommy left and went shopping with Karson's mommy.  Mommy was there when I woke up from my morning nap. We played at ate and I watched football with daddy.  YAY the Bills won again.  I of course slept through most of the 2nd half and watched the last few minutes.  Then we ate dinner and went to Corn Dawgs.  We just went to the pumpkin patch and walked around since I am too little for most of the activities.  It was very bumpy in my stroller.  I did not want to smile at all when I was there.  I think I was a bit nervous with all the bumpiness of the stroller, but mommy and daddy took my picture anyways!

XOXO
