Another one.....

So, I know that most of my friends probably think that my life revolves around Olivia....it does!!! Just kidding! But really, she just brings so much happiness to my life and can always make me smile when I've had the worst day at work! Hopefully, soon I'll be able to post pics of MY baby!!! And, NO I am not pregnant! Olivia just has the best personality and this pic shows it!

A wonderful November weekend!

This weekend was my mother in law, Becky and my our annual weekend trip to Montgomery to go Christmas decorating shopping. Our two must have stops are Cafco and Southern Home and Gardens in Montgomery. We are always able to find soo many cute things at both places. If you haven't ever made a trip to either two Southern Home and Gardens, you MUST!!!! they by far have the best Christmas decorations ever and they prices aren't bad either. Can't wait to post some of the new decorations I'll have out this Christmas. i LOVE Christmas and actually even asked Allen if I could start decorating...I might become one of those wives that start decorating before Thanksgiving!!! hehe..just kidding!

When I got home on Sunday I HAD to go see Olivia, I was having withdrawals from not seeing her for almost a week. We had a fun afternoon of playing outside and riding her choochoo train. She know loves to "push" us around on it. Lindsey and I bundles her up and headed outside for a little while this afternoon and watched her tottle around the front yard going up and down the front steps. Once she learns how to do something she has to do 100 times.

I am so excited too because I FINALLY took at day off tomorrow to go to the doctor and hangout with my mom. These last couple of months have been so crazy at work with handling the construction of 4 practices from Carraway moving to Brookwood because of Carraway shutting down. It is a well deserved break, more days are necessary though! Enjoy the pics!

This is the cutest picture! She is the happiest baby! Moments like this puts the biggest smile on my face and make me want to smother her with kisses!

Loves pumpkins!

Just totting along, like a big girl!

Up and down up and down we go!

One of her favorite ways to travel! On her mommas shoulders! Or Aunt Lala's!

Whoopsie, I fell!

A little catching up to do...

So, for the past couple of months we have been having some fun! A couple of weeks ago Lindsey, Olivia, Harvey and I made a trip down to Selma to stay with Kea, Lee and Kylie. This was the first time I had actually got to see little Kylie, she is such a cutie!!!! When we got to Selma, we decided to go to the Montgomery Christmas bazaar...kind of like what the Junior League hosts each in yes in Birmingham. They had some cute booths set up but it was so crowded that it was crazy. Especially with a one year old that hadn't eaten lunch yet and needed a nap terribly and had been in the car for a total of almost 3 hours non stop. We stayed there for a total of 30 minutes and then turned around and went back to Selma. All and all we had a good time, but only to learn that get togethers are just not the same anymore with babies. The relaxing, drinking beer and watching the football game just isn't the same but we have come to grips to what has evolved and look for forward to our next get together! Now, we know what to expect! Here are some pics:



Olivia playing Pee Pie with me! She loved Kylie's play mat. Lindsey needs to get it back out. Actually, she loved a lot of Kylie's play toys.

She loves books!!!! That is her favorite book...the dog book. She just giggles and giggles while you read to her.

Kylie and Olivia having a little face to face! It was so funny, Olivia would walk up to Kylie and just stare at her and laugh. Then she would try to lean over and grab her animals on her mobile.

Once again, Olivia playing with Kylie's toys.

Harvey chillin!

Olivia and Kylie talking with one another


Next, we had Dad's 54th birthday party at my house last week. Nothing extravagant, but just a good ole family get together. Here are some pics:



Christmas is going to be so much fun this year! She wanted to help open each present with Dad.

She's WALKIN!!!!!



And finally, our 2nd trip to the zoo. This time Granddaddy, Nana, Uncle Allen, Aunt Lala and Livvie went this past Sunday. It was funny to see how attentive she was to the animals than the last time we went. Each animal we went to she said "Woof"! Her favorite part was riding the carosel with me!!! She loved every minute and giggled the whole time. Her latest word to say is "Weeeeee" so of course that's what she was saying as we went around and around.
