Weekend with the Grandparents

This weekend Olivia spent some time with my parents. They like to have her on the weekends so Olivia usually spends Saturday night with them. In this picture, Meme is giving Olivia some sweet potatoes.

On sunday we went to a family party on Lori's side. Lori's neice, Elly (who is about 18 months) was very interested in Olivia and this was the best picture I could catch. My camera was in the diaper bag when they were hugging each other! She got very tired and fell asleep in my hand after awhile. Here are some pics!

What a "Sweet" Face!!

Yesterday on Olivia's 5 month birthday it was time to start giving her vegetables. I decided to try out sweet potatoes first. She LOVED them!! I was only going to give her half the container to see how she would do. She doesnt really like cereal so I didn't really think she would do that good with it. But to my surprise she ate the entire container. She was sucking them right off of the spoon before I could get it in her mouth!!

Today was St. Patrick's day so I had to get her all decked out...(some people were expecting a card in the mail, lol) but I did take a couple of pics of her in her pretty shamrock dress and headband! Once Mommy left for work, she had a very fun day with grandma, Aunt Emma, and Poppy....Poppy took her for her first ride down the slide. Im sad I missed it, because I guess she was totally cracking up. She also was holding her own bottle today! By the time I got home, she was tuckered out and ready for a cuddle...she fell asleep with me and we snuggled all night! I didnt want to put her down cuz I know that these types of moments are soon going to be few and far between...

Her New Favorite...

So we have been REALLY busy the past few weeks!! Its been almost a month since my last post! She has mastered rolling over from both belly and back. She is getting stronger by the day and is trying to sit herself up! I have been hearing from a lot of people they think she will crawl early...we'll see. If thats the case I am really going to be in trouble!!! I bought her an Exersaucer and she really loves that. But we decided to put her Jumperoo together and that is her FAVORITE toy. She will stay in there until she falls asleep! She loves jumping and bouncing around in it, never gets old! Here she is with grandma (who is so proud of herself for putting it together!)

We went to the allergist at U of M who seems to think that Olivia is too young to predict if she has asthma or not. They feel as though she may just take colds rough, so thats good. Its been a while since going to the doctor (knock on wood!)

A BIG, HUGE thank you!!!!! to my friend Kristi for taking some pics of Olivia during our 1 really nice day! They turned out great! Here are my two favorites!

Also thanks to Aunt Mel for the new bikini! lol
