Photo Shoot at Misty's

Today Olivia and I went to Misty's house to play and have a little photo shoot. I think Olivia had a great time playing with the duckling, bunny and cats and Misty got some great pictures of Olivia. Thanks again to Misty Melvin (www.walkbyfaithphoto.com)for having us over! Here are some cute ones from today:

Photo Shoot

Well, Misty got me itching to do a photo shoot with Olivia. Since it's still kinda cool outside I set us up inside. Here are a few from tonight. Let me know what you think!

My Sick Baby

Well, it finally circled to us. My friend Ginger texted me this morning that her five-year-old daughter started throwing up at 2 this morning. They go to daycare together. Then I learned that the daycare provider's son is also sick. This after my friend Amy's twin two-year-olds were sick for a few days. Not just sick, but coming out both ends. Yay. The twins go to the same daycare too. Guess it was just a matter of time. At about 4:30 this afternoon Olivia started throwing up. She's continued to do so every 20 to 30 minutes since. So, I've spent the entire evening holding her and cleaning us both up. She's been crying alot. I think her stomach hurts. I finally got her to sleep a little on the couch which she NEVER does. I'm trying to figure out a plan for tonight. Do I keep her in a pack-n-play in the family room and sleep on the couch? Do I sleep in her twin size bed in her room and put her in her crib? I have a feeling we will not be sleeping much either way. Luckilly I'm off this weekend so I can take care of her. We'll see how things are going for Monday when I go back to work.

Some March Photos

Almost 17 months old

Olivia will be 17 months old on the 9th. She is still under 20 pounds and in 12 month clothes. I think she's getting taller though. We went to the grocery store today and she seemed to think she was there to entertain. She was making funny faces at everyone we passed. We get so many people who stop us and tell her she looks like a doll or she is sooo cute. And she plays up to them the whole time, giggling and batting those long lashes.
I bought Olivia a potty a few days ago. It's got Winnie the Pooh and friends on it and she just sits staring at the picture of them on it. Right now she is most interested in taking the bowl out and running around with it . . . on her head. She pee-peed on the big potty a few nights ago so I thought I might as well get her her own potty to get used to. No pressure though.
Olivia is picking up new words like crazy now. She can tell us she wants "more" or that she's "done". Or if she wants "milk" or "juice" (almost always juice, but that's too bad). We have been working on nodding our head 'yes' instead of always shaking 'no'. It's so cute when she does it - it's so exaggerated. But, if I ask her if she's done with supper and she is then she nods yes.
The other day I told Olivia, "You pooped, I can smell it." She says "Pooped, shew." She cracks me up! And she anounces when she toots now. She's pretty proud of herself.
She's into baby dolls now. She carries them around and feeds them with her own cup (we really need to get her some play bottles). She's also starting to try to draw and color. She's also gotten very lovey. Olivia will crawl up into my lap, get face to face with me and just smile. She likes to give momma kisses and then gives me a big hug.
I haven't taken many pictures of her lately, now that it's warming up I need to work on that!
