We spent a lot of this summer enjoying the new personality that we are able to experience each day from Olivia. She is getting so capable and grown up that we are amazed all the time at the little things she does and says to let us know what she wants to do.
She loves to parrot anything that the grownups are doing, including 'Na-ma's' crossword puzzle in her chair outside :)
She has a new hobby...smelling flowers...then proceeding to pound them against the wall until all the petals fall off. Not sure who taught her that one!
On the 27th Olivia got to help Aunt Kathy and Grandma make some decorations for Carter's baby shower. She was loving being part of the team, and was hilarious with her grins and excitement.
Slide faces!
The last two weeks in June Olivia had her second dose of swim lessons! This time dad got to help her most days, because mom was looking more and more like a beached whale every day. Olivia got more comfortable going under water, and started learning how to jump off the wall.
On the 29th, my wonderful in-law family threw me and Carter a baby shower. It was so fun, and we got lots of wonderful boy things. It was great, because now Carter doesn't have to go out of the house in a pink blanket - though his pink bouncer is his most comfortable place to sit :).
The next day Olivia got to be a flower girl in my good friend Alesha's wedding! She and I walked down the aisle throwing lavender seed, and she continued to throw it throughout the ceremony, which resulted in a huge lavender pile (and quite a strong scent) by our table the entire night. The wedding and reception were both wonderful, and we were thrilled to be part of the day. So thrilled that we forgot to take pictures!
