I'm Trying to Focus...

It was Olivia's birthday this past week and we all had a great time at her party! I was so excited to have Taylor over. She is one of my best buddies that I met at the L.A. Fitness Kids Club. Our moms workout together.

For those of you who don't spend a lot of time with me you may not be aware of my one liners. My parents think that I am too sassy but I'm just having fun! For example Daddy and I were making my by bed. Daddy of course was doing so while sing quite loudly and I had to say, "Dad, stop I am trying to focus!"

To all my friends and family in Michigan I'll be there in a week! I am excited to see all of you guys!

Party Time

I am 1! Mommy and Daddy threw me a party with friends! What a good time we had!

Thanks for all of the birthday wishes and gifts!

One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Ella Fish

I am a swimmer! I have been swimming since I was a baby and now I am swimming on my own. In the last week or so I have swam across our pool 10+ times with no help! It's roughly 40' long! Watch out world I'll be after you in the 2024 Olympiad!

Birthday's Eve

Today is my birthday's eve! I was born one year ago tomorrow. What a fast year it has been. I have changed so much and I know that my second year will bring even more changes. I know that walking is in my near future as is speaking more words. I did take 6 consecutive steps on Monday!

I enjoy playing with my sister and can't wait to chase her around as I gain mobility.

Next week I'll be sharing photos from my birthday party and thanks for the cards and $$ you have sent. I am saving for college.

Second Child

It's happened... I'm officially the second child in our house. Mommy and Daddy didn't take any pictures of me this week! But here is what is happening in my life...

I have been working on my swimming. Daddy goes under the water with me and then I swim back to the surface. I am not quite sure how I feel about this, but I do like to do fun tricks in the water.

I have become really attached to my Mommy! I don't enjoy being without her. Getting dropped off at the nursery is not much fun! I don't know what has gotten into me but I cry nearly every time now.

I am a snuggler and Mommy loves it.

Now that I am cruising around I have discovered toilet paper and it draws me in like a magnet.

I love, love, love bath time! Give me a cup to play with and it's even better!

If you are teething the crib makes a great chew toy! I do have to say the plastic protectors my parents put on have put a damper in my quest to eat the crib!

One last confession...I have about 20 scabs on my forehead because I love to scratch my forehead off when I get tired.

Hopefully, my parents will have some pictures for you next week!

Love you all!

Olivia

Oh summer days!

I am so thankful to live in nice weather! I love to swim...I can now swim the long way across the pool by myself. It is great fun!

I have also been going to Vacation Bible School at my church. It has been a great time!

Rise Up!

My Life

Tickling the Ivories

I have a new hobby! I like to play the keyboard! Check out my rockin' style and my Jerry Lee Lewis hair. I am a wild woman!

I like duets...

And I like solos, too!

Dancing has become a favorite activity as well. I like to shake it up and down to all kinds of music.

Check out my crawling on YouTube.

Long Weekend

I hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend! I had a very nice time. I spoke to my family on the phone.


I hung out with my friends Charley Mae and James and watched them perform great tricks.

I also posed for a few photos for Mommy!
