An Afternoon at the Lake

 Olivia is obsessed with water bottles.  We finally bought this pink one for her so she would stop stealing ours.  I'd say she likes it!

Olivia and I spent Wednesday afternoon at the lake.  The weather was so nice, with a nice breeze, and lightly cloudy skies.  The water was just the right temperature.  Olivia played really well in the water and the sand without me having to coax her into everything, so I was able to enjoy some nice girl talk with some great company.  We had a great time!!  Too bad for Bobby...he had to spend the day at school.

Big Girl

This picture makes me think I no longer have a little baby...now I have a big girl!  

When did that happen?

Lunch Date

Cutest lunch date EVER

Bike

 Olivia makes a pretty mean looking biker girl, don't ya think?

Cards Game

We went to the Springfield Cardinals game this past weekend.  It was really hot, but still lots of fun!  We were so glad to get to hang out with amazing friends and family!

Pool Time

Olivia loves loves loves water!  She would take 10 baths a day if I would let her!  A pool was an obvious solution (thanks Gma and Gpa).  We've already spent several afternoons cooling off in her pool, and plan on many more this summer...hopefully I'll actually get a tan!

Grassy-hopper

Olivia talks almost non-stop!  A lot of what she says is still gibberish, but she is also getting really good at expressing herself, and telling us what she wants.  Most of her sentences start with 'I want...' but she is quickly gaining a lot more variety.  She also loves to sing, and if there is a piano available she's probably going to try to play it.  Her favorites right now are 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' and 'Once There was a Snowman'.  She serenades us quite often.
