Beach Preparations and Amazing Olivia
Tomorrow is going to be a busy day as we prepare for our first trip with Olivia! I still haven't been able to narrow down the list of things to bring for her, but my parents and my sister and her bf kindly offered to let us put some of the things in their cars, so we'll probably take them up on their offer.
In the morning, James is taking our Saturn Vue to get an oil change and the fluids topped off for the road. Then, he's dropping me off to have lunch with Rebecca. That way, she'll be able to see Olivia, but then James can take her home and Mommy can acutally focus on Rebecca. I haven't really had any one-on-one time with her since Olivia arrived, so I'm really excited! Then, later I'm meeting my sister to get a pedicure which my sweet mom wants to pay for. Isn't she awesome? I can't decide whether I want a french pedicure or a color with flowers painted on my big toes. Which is more beachy?
I am so excited to be taking our first vacation with Olivia. She amazes me every day! She is so curious and interacts with us so much more. She fusses until I look right at her, and then gives me the biggest smile. She now reaches for toys and shakes them to make noise. She loves blowing raspberries and then she cracks herself up. She laughs after she sneezes. I just adore her. I swear she gets prettier every day.
I love you and I'm sorry about tomorrow. Trust me I would not be much company.

Posted by: Ani at July 7, 2006 09:50 AMOlivia looks so pleased and happy. I vote for flowers.
Posted by: shokufeh at July 7, 2006 10:10 AMI vote for the flowers too!!
Posted by: rachel at July 7, 2006 10:33 AMOoh no, I vote for the French! Soooo much more beachy and classicly gorgeous! Plus once you get some color they really pop!
Olivia looks SO adorable and happy! Don't worry about packing too much... we honestly didn't bring too much when we went to the beach (but it was only 3 nights) and actually didn't use most of what we brought. Mainly a big blanket for the floor for her to lay on, tons of diapers (which we forgot and had to buy at Publix) and her little beachy outfits!!
Have SO much fun and enjoy your pampering time!! Can't wait to see all your pictures!
