Busy Weekend!
**UPDATED: HAIR PICS and more**
Whew! We were busy this weekend! We had a family reunion on Saturday for my dad's side (mnostly relatives I don't know), then a retirement party that night for a family friend, and then yesterday we went to Montgomery, AL to look for things for my parents new house. Poor Olivia is so tired! (not to mention me, but my sleeping needs have taken a back seat)
Olivia has become much harder to go places with because she's so much more independent and wants to do what she wants. She's into everything (although she's been doing that since she's been crawling) but now, it's harder to control her because she gets mad. She's so funny though and I love watching her grow into a little girl instead of just a baby.
Although we usually read to her, she enjoys reading to herself, too:
She's still completely obsessed with brushing her own teeth:
and the dog's, which she has done several times now:
Even her little body is looking less like that of a baby. She's thinned out (although the top of her thighs are still kissably fat).
I've actually been a little worried that she's gone from being pleasantly plump to quite tall and thin, but she eats well (some table food, some jarred food, and lots of nursing!) The doctor isn't worried, so I shouldn't be either.
I have more pictures to post (hair pics! I took some!) and others ,but she is yelling and pulling at my shirt. She's exhausted from this weekend and has been fussy ALL day. Please check back later. I'll add them to this entry.
Edited to add:
The results of the hair dye are in! I certainly didn't end up with the light brown the box said I'd have, so now I look like a Pamela Anders@n wanna-be!
Olivia's new favorite game: peeka-boo in the car! She pulls the blanket over her head, and waits for me to ask, "Where's Olivia?" and then she pulls off the blanket and squeals. She started doing this a few months ago, but now she's into it hardcore and we play it everytime I'm in the backseat with her!
Where's Olivia? You can see her chubby little hands holding up the blanket all on her own.
She's always so excited when she pulls off the blanket and I make a fuss over seeing her! So precious!
