Hide & Seek

Olivia has learned to play hide & seek around the ottoman. I first noticed her hiding two different times from me...once she had my cell phone & once she had the remote! I told her to put them down and when she didn't, and I started walking towards her she ducted behind the ottoman!

Here she is playing hide and seek with our friend Josh...

Help...please!

A squeal of delight...

A fun game with Mommy...

Laughing Baby

Last night Olivia and Daddy were watching America's Funniest Home Videos and there was a video of a laughing baby. Olivia thought it was so funny! The first couple of times she watched it (Daddy thought to record it) she laughed and squealed throughout the whole video! Today I played it again for her and it made her laugh and giggle a little. So imagine her laughs and squeals in these videos but for much longer! I'm going to wait a couple of days and show her the video again and see if I can get more laughing on video for you!

Spaghetti Dinner

Olivia loves a spaghetti dinner!

She was determined to figure out how to un-stick her bowl...

She wants to share!

No...it was just a tease!

Good to the last bite!

Olivia is asking for the cupcake papers she found in the cupboard before dinner...

The Toy Aisle!

Today Olivia & Mommy did a little shopping at Target. Olivia really didn't want to sit in the top seat so Mommy let her sit in the basket area. We had some extra time so Mommy decided to take her through the toy aisles for the first time! She loved it & she definitely didn't want to sit!

First we saw the aisle of Sesame Street Characters. Olivia was mesmerized. We played their music & she danced in the cart. She kept going back to Oscar the Grouch!

Very Excited!

This is a very happy/excited face! Olivia loaded the cart with the talking puppets & when she looked at them in the cart she got very excited!

So many things to see...

And touch...

Then we made it to the baby doll aisle...

They looked so real...and made baby sounds!

Mommy wasn't able to get pictures in the stuffed animal aisle but Olivia actually started bouncing up & down and when she got her arms around them she hugged them tightly! She objected with her talking screams as we left the toy aisles but thankfully she is still easily distracted! Mommy is looking forward to more fun toy aisle trips! :)

Lovin'

Olivia had a fun day today. She's was so busy playing, climbing, and walking. Here are a few pix and a bunch of movies!

Now Olivia has three best friends...her bear, Francis; her puppy, Morgan; and her other bear, Giggles. She likes to hug and snuggle all of them!
Look at those blue eyes! Click on this picture to make it big and check out those smiles!

Happy Fall!!!

On Sunday we went with some friends to Ashland Berry Farm. We went on a hayride, picked out some pumpkins, and had lots of fun! Olivia loved the farm! She took it all in...the ducks, the people, the tractors, the pumpkins! Here are pix from our adventurous day.

Yummy :) Olivia thought it was so funny to stick the pumpkin in her mouth...ugh!

When we first got there we ventured over to see the ducks. When they caught Olivia's eye she perked right up.

We thought we were too late for the hayride to the pumpkin patch because they were so busy. But at the last minute one of the staff came over to us and said we could hop on the last ride!

The Honakers

The Howells

The McMillons

Olivia was interested in everything going on...
but at first she wasn't sure about the loud tractors.

Getting comfy in the hay...

Ooo! Look at all my pumpkins! At first she wasn't sure what to do with them...

Daddy got her to smile with his nice big hat :)

An Olivia size pumpkin!

Where's the baby?

Check out my pile of pumpkins! Can daddy carry them all? We will see!

Time for another hayride loaded up with our pumpkins

Ooo...straw

Tucker was worried that Olivia would take his pumpkin so he hid it behind him

Let's try the pumpkin again...

While we waited to take our final trip Olivia enjoyed watching the tractors come and go

Watching the tractor go around the corner...

Now what do I hear?

Hanging out with the gang

He did it! Daddy carried all 12 pumpkins 3 steps!

Have a great Autumn!
