Summer is ticking by so quickly!

We set up her pool on the deck and she began by stepping into it, but she got comfortable and began slidding in more like a dive. She even likes to fall backwards into the pool as well. She is keeping us on our toes. She aslo loves kicking her legs and moving her arms like she knew exactly what to do.

 Tea parties are some of the best.

The smallest things bring joy

You're saying I shouldn't be up here?

 Playing is hard work

Park time

 I love the look on her face....as she prepares herself to jump (both feet stay on the ground)

 Exploring new parks is so much fun

 It also is a lot of work and naps in the car help refuel

Snack in the laundry basket so Lucy doesn't get it....Mickey Mouse Clubhouse gets this girl dancing as well.

Her favorite things this summer:

• Saying puppy, bye, and no
• Playing in water
• Eating-she is really starting to like chips, good thing she is still into vegetables!
• Watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (dancing to all the songs)
• Playing with her cousins
• Using her kitchen
• Pacifiers while sleeping and during car rides
• Figuring out different ways to climb on things that she shouldn't

Things we are loving about her this summer:

• When she wakes up after sleeping through the night and reads books to herself until we come get her
• Giggles
• Playing at the park
• Zoo visits

Stay tuned....our little girl is growing up!

My two loves, this picture makes me smile

Maryland Trip

I LOVE our family

Plan ride on the way to Maryland....she loved looking out the window to look at the clouds and watching the grounds crew. 

Snacking continues on the coast, different area code/same appetite.

She played hard at Grammy and Pop's house doing puzzles, chase, outside, reading books and building blocks.

Great Grandma found many treasures for Olivia to explore. 

Granddad teaching Liv how to play air drums. 

Playing in pjs at the park, only with the grandparents. 

Chill time is always needed. 

Uncle Billy

Not sure if she was leaning away or just caught by surprised, she loves her daddy.

Hanging in the hammock, she wasn't quite sure of it at first....then enjoyed swinging or laying in it.

Playing with dad and Uncle Billy's boyhood train set. She enjoyed pushing all the "cars" down the hill. Dad was a little protective about his toy. They had a great time building and destroying of tracks. 

 Grammy and Pop

BBQ with the family

 The Great Grandparents

More play time at the park

 Hanging out with Granddad. His dog Lacey loved jumping on Liv.

Petting Zoo, she chased chickens and petting goats.

Waiting for our flight home

Hanging with mom

More hang time

It was a wonderful trip visiting dad's side of the family. Can't wait for them to come visit us. 

Stay tuned.....a weekend with just dad is coming up!
