Old friend

Today I took Olivia to Rusk again to see an old friend named Chealsea that used to work with my sister Mary at Pizza Hut. She and her boyfriend just had a new baby named Blake a day after Olivia was born, so I was taking her some boy clothes and a bouncer.
Dustin and I figured out that Olivia needed a pacifier. We had tried several different things to calm her down, but she was always grumpy and cried pretty much all the time. My sister Crystal told me that the soothie pacifiers were a life saver, but I didn't think that a different type of pacifier would work, but sure enough, she doesn't hardly cry now that we got that pacifier. I am so happy because I was about to go crazy!

Bubbles for Bubaloo!

Photo Shoot

I thought it was about time to have a photo shoot with Livi. So, I took a few dozen pictures of my love. Here are a few of my favorites.

Gardening Season

Well, I don't claim to have a green thumb, but I thought I would try my luck at planting some flowers this year. A few years ago, I did the same thing, but because I didn't water the flowers, they died and I said never again. But, alas, I got a wild hair up my butt and thought I'd try it again.

Vola!

Olivia's first bath

Olivia's belly button fell off today, so that meant that it was time for her first bath!!! Of course, she was none too happy to be naked and vulnerable, but we got through it.

Me about to scrub a dub dub Livi...yeah I look like crap. Don't judge.

All better now

Too Funny for Words

I just had to post this picture because it's so damn funny!!! I've been wearing my glasses because I've got an eye infection and Bubaloo is always grabbing for my glasses, so I thought it would be funny to give them to him and see what he would do. I thought I was going to pee my pants because he looked so funny in them!

How Cute!

Since we had Olivia, there is never a dull moment in our house. Bubaloo is always trying to catch our attention since he doesn't get it much anymore. We try to give him equal attention, but sometimes, it's just not that easy. We're letting Noah have a little more exposure to Olivia, but he still hasn't figured out that he can hurt her. He loves to climb up in my lap when I'm holding her and pull her little toes or pinch her fat little hams. We had Olivia sitting up on the couch on her boppy tonight and we got some really good pictures of Bubaloo trying to love on her. This is definetly getting more fun.

About Town

Today Olivia and I got out and went to Rusk for a little while to deliver some headbands to a coworker.

We stopped in and visited my friends at work and then we went to Pizza Hut to see my sister Mary and meet up with my sister Crystal. Doc Doc, Destiny, and DeeAnn came and they were enjoying seeing Olivia. Crystal made Dustin and me some spaghetti to take home for dinner. She is such a good cook. I honestly don't see how she gets her food to come out so yummy...much better than mine. It was nice getting to see the kids, it's been a while. I don't get to go see them as much since I have kids of my own. Oh the joys of trying to do things with kids!! I've learned that it isn't as easy as it looks. I wouldn't trade it for nothing though.
