Leap Year, Hobby Lobby, and Pizza!

Today is leap day! One extra day with Olivia! Since she did not nap yesterday afternoon I thought, why not take her out today after lunch to see if that would tire her out.  We went to Hobby Lobby to look for birthday stuff.  Hobby Lobby is such a magical place.  Who doesn't love crafty stuff, decorations, scrap booking stuff all in one place! Thankfully they have tiny shopping carts so that was good and we stuck to our list! Olivia did great at the store. She only touched one thing- an Elmo cake pan sign.  But she loved riding in the cart and looking all around.  After we got home she went down for a good nap! I was so happy for that! Then for dinner she tried pizza- not real pizza but a healthy pizza.  My friend Lauren fed it to her son Griffin and he loved it.  It was easy a whole wheat tortilla, tomato sauce, and cheese.  I baked it for 9 minutes and voila- pizza! I even made one for myself for dinner. So I let it cool, gave her some carrots and then she tried it.  At first she spit it out but after a few bites she started gobbling it up! The cheese is kinda hard for her because she only has the front 2 teeth but she is chewing though! After dinner we played upstairs with the lion and she was laughing like I have never seen her laugh! It was so cute.  I was pretending to chase her and she loved it and even Jake wanted in on it too! Those giggles just make my heart smile!

Playing with her car! Look at those legs!

Whole wheat tortilla pizza! Thanks Lauren!

Yummy!!!!!!!!

More fun with the lion!

Giggles, no nap, and fork!

I had a lot of giggles today.  When mommy came home I kept laughing.  I laughed when I walked with my lion (see the 2 videos).  But then I didn't want to take a nap.  I think mommy wanted to take a nap too because she is tired from parent-teacher conferences.  I am sorry mommy! So mommy and I had a really long afternoon.  Mommy was running out of ideas of things to do.  We played with everything two or three times.  I did rock a little with mommy in the recliner just to relax.  Then ate really good at dinner- I ate turkey potpie.  So good mommy let me try the fork by myself! Mommy was surprised I was so good.  She would put the food on the fork and then I would put it in my mouth! I even did it with my right hand.  Mommy said she was really proud of me!

Fork pics...after she was done eating but she still was practicing!

 

Not a lot of time with mommy!

Mommy had parent-teacher conferences today.  So it was daddy and me day! Daddy took me to Gymboree today all by himself! He did such a good job!! I missed mommy though and fussed a little with dad and didn't want to take a nap this afternoon.  Mommy was so happy when she got home to see me and I was happy to see her! I missed her! Mommy was sad that she did not get a lot of time with me today.  But we played and read the farm book.  I also tried to help mommy put away all the new clothes she got for me at the sale yesterday! I just wanted to throw around the hangers! Can't wait to spend time with mommy and daddy tomorrow!!

Sunday

Today I woke up and daddy took me to church right after breakfast.  Mommy did not come because she had plans with Malissa and Dawn to go to another consignment sale.  They did good.  Mommy got me lots of clothes, a farm, and some toys! Mommy will take pictures of her goodies tomorrow! Then I played with mommy while daddy went on a bike ride.  We had fun.  Not much new today,  Mommy is teaching me animal sounds- I can kind of moo and roar like a lion!

XOXO
