The kids are gone

This was the night before Ashley and the kids took off to Germany to live with Tyler while he finishes the rest of his commitment to the army over there. It's really sad to see them go. They'll be gone for at least three years and we will miss them a lot. They're going to be so big when they come back.

Too big for the bouncer

It's almost time to retire the bouncer. She doesn't really sit back in it anymore. She sits up. She won't really sit up on the regular floor, but she'll sit up in this chair even when she's not supposed to.

New pool toy!

New pool toy!

We got her a little crab blow up floating thingy from the store and she seemed to like it a lot. We were in the pool for a couple of hours and she was as happy as could be.

Sitting up!

Just learning how to sit up, still a ways to go.

Mmmmhh...chair...

She's rolling all over the place now, can't just let her hang out on the couch and tend to other business. She now requires constant watch.

This chair looks nice...

Goin in for a big bite of laquer coated pine...delicious!

Her first teeth

You may have to look close or enlarge the picture, but her bottom two teeth came in a couple of days ago. She's getting so big.

From the phone

I've had these pics on my phone for a while and decided I'd put them on the blog to let everyone else see them because she's just so cute.

Auntie Christine bought me a new swimsuit.

This should be on one of our walls. Amazing phone picture, she looks so angelic.

Her eyes are so blue they're almost purple...and they definitely are shaped like mom's.

She liked the pool a little better this time...

This is mommy's mean face.

These earplugs are great.

Much thanks to Ryder for taking a nap and letting Olivia borrow his boat.

Look at me jump

This thing is the best in the world. We can put her in it for up to two hours sometimes and she'll jump the whole time. It gives us a nice break.

Big girl clothes

She's getting so grown up. She still doesn't like to wear shoes though. Every time that you try to put them on she curls up her toes to make it nearly impossible to get them on. She does look so cute once they're on though.

4th of July

It was Olivia's first 4th of July. We got little wax ear plugs for her when we went to see the fireworks. She did really well, didn't freak out at the loud noises at all. So it worked out well.

Look alikes

Everyone kept saying how much Olivia looked like me, but I didn't really see it until I started looking at my baby pictures. I guess there are some similarities.
