Lorelai's 11 Months!

Wow---she's almost a year old!  Lorelai continues to have a lot of funny playing with us and Olivia.  She is still enjoying the Fridge Farm and likes to dance to the music it plays.  She is engaging more with songs and likes to play, "Where's Lorelai?"  She still only has the two bottom teeth, but that's not stopping her from eating!  She has started table food and we haven't found much she doesn't like:)  Cheerios and chicken strips seem to be among the favorites.  She is pulling herself to stand and hopefully will be walking any time.  She continues to be a great sleeper and is still taking 2 naps a day (that's my girl)!!  Olivia still does a great job being a big sister and helps her to stay away from the stairs and keep the basement doors closed:)

Fun at Home

 Very excited to open her birthday present from the Givens'

Gosh, she's growing up too fast!

4th of July!

Holiday weekend, a BIG adventure!

Having an adventure requires energy, so Olivia starts reading up on the brownie recipe

 How many eggs do we need Olivia?   the answer is:

Enjoying the fruits of her labor!

Time to begin our adventure, but need to protect our vision from that blasted sun!

Which way do we go???    How about .......

On the next episode of Animal Planet we enter the kingdom of the dark Jungle.

 Slow and quiet is the way to go.

GOOOOO!  She takes off with the treasure.

Strapped safely in the passenger seat is the reward, her little mice and toto the dog.
