Happy Memorial Day

Hope you all are enjoying your 3 day weekend! We sure are! My aunt and uncle are visiting from Colorado and we've been enjoying spending time with them.

Saturday, my grandma took the girls for tea about an hour away! My mom, sister, grandma, aunt, daughter (wow! that's sounds weird!), and I had a lovely time, even though Olivia fussed. The owner of the shop said she'd be happy to hold her so I could enjoy my tea, but I was afraid she'd spit up on her, and I told her so.

Yesterday, James and I went shopping at Target and just couldn't leave without spending $125 on baby girl. We bought her some new pionk pacifiers that say "I Love Mommy" (as if she needed any more of them), a drying rack/organizer for bottles and my breast pump, a Diaper Genie (we weren't going to use one, but changed our minds), some toys, etc.

Today is my sister's birthday, so we're going to a Hibachi restaurant tonight. Yum! I'd tell you to go by her blog and leave her b-day wishes, but she never posts anymore. Bah!

I'm thinking I may write a book titled something along the lines of: The Mommy Diaries: Adventures in Poop. Just a helpful hint, do NOT, under any circumstances, change your baby in a Target dressing room (or any dressing room). I went in one to nurse her, which was simple, until I had the brilliant idea of changing her in there. There was only pee in there-- at least until I took off her diaper and she decided to squirt poop 2 feet away into my purse, on the side of her diaper bag (it's so dirty, I already need a new one), and all over the dressing room. The best part was that she was pushing and tooting so loudly I was scared to come out. Only people with children would believe that a small, baby girl could let one that big!

I'll leave you with some new pictures of our precious Olivia, nicknamed the Tudor Princess (really meaning tooter) by my grandma. :-)

Awwww, she's so cute! I love the last pic with her sleeping. Glad you had a good long weekend. Isn't it funny about the loudness something so small can create :) hehe.

Those are *adorable* pictures! She just keeps getting cuter and cuter. :) What a sweetie! Glad you're enjoying your Memorial Day weekend [we are, too]. I've never tried changing Lucas in a dressing room; kudos to you for that! hehe :)

It's hard to get out of Target without spending at least a $100.00...doesn't go as far as it used to.
