Here it is...............

I guess everybody gets a digital camera when they have a baby! Jason and I didn't get one until I was pregnant with Olivia. We took sooooo many pictures of her as a teeny baby. I swear I have about a billion pictures of her in the carseat asleep and on a blanket on the floor. I just couldn't get over how small and perfect she was. This is very cliche, but they grow sooo fast. I remember when our friends kids were this big-I thought they were such old kids. But my sweet little Olivia is already that old. Soon she will be in high school.....I can't think about that-it is just too scary!

I tag Ann-Marie, Sara-Lynn, Michelle, & Breezy

I really don't have anything exciting to say, but I know it is time for some kind of update. I read blogs and people have such interesting, witty, and funny things to say and post about. What can I say, my life is kind of routine-good-but not too many exciting things have happened lately. I did kill a big old black widow on our sidewalk the other night. It tried to cross at exactly the wrong time. It was big and ugly!
Oh yeah, I got a calling at church. That is something new to report. I am the Miamaid advisor, which seems to be really fun. The girls are all so sweet and the ladies I work with are great too!

Like I said, the kids and I are into a good routine, hitting the library and playgroup every week along with the two days of preschool for Olivia. She is quite the character. She has her hairdo destroyed moments after I fix it, and I documented this in pictures the other day. She loves to color and sing and dance around. She mostly pretends to be one of the Disney princesses. She like to help me clean and sing "whistle while you work." William is eating rice cereal and veggies and sitting up. He is also very interested in toys and eating his toes. Olivia is very into the letters of the alphabet lately and the other day at lunch she was biting her sandwich parts into different letters. She started by saying, "look mom, a J for Jolisa" then proceeded to make an L and a roller skate along with a few letters in between. I took a few pictures, which led to her wanting pictures of her letters taken every time she eats ANYTHING she can make a letter out of. Will has starting eating solid foods and is much more into it than Olivia was at this age. He also likes to eat his toes.

Here is Olivia moments after I fixed her hair. It is very secure I might add, hair spray and all. In about five minutes she will have rolled all over the floor, raked pillows and blankets over her head and then wonder why her hair is in her face and try to rip the ponytails out.
