We made it four months! Due to a non-functioning scale, we don't have Miss O's weight, but trust me when I tell you she is a BIG girl, and my arms are feeling the effects of hauling her around. But I am happy to do so as long as she isn't fussing:)
To celebrate, we got down the old Jumperoo, and Charlotte helped initiate Olivia into her new play center, which she really loves so far, though her patience for it only comes in short spurts. Hopefully soon she will want to spend as much time in it as Charlotte did at that age. It helped a lot, especially during a week when H and I got super sick and all I could do is lay on the couch and watch her jump.
Charlotte is a great big sister. She can't wait to see her each morning and loves reading with her.
We have also had a great strawberry harvest this year! The other night we brought in a whole container full of them.
We also had an awesome time at the grand opening of
Red Mango, a new frozen yogurt place at the Shops at Legacy. They were giving out free bowls of frozen yogurt and toppings for all and Charlotte got a kick out of Junk Jammin' outside with her buddy.
Ready for the pool
They were opening for REO Speedwagon, who brought us right back to the 80s with their smoke machine, top of the platform drummer and guitarist with long blond hair. Awesome!
After they finished there was a good fireworks show, as there is after pretty much every event and holiday here in Texas. Love it!
A touch of pain reliever and she was back to being a sweetie.
I thought these drumsticks deserved a closeup.
In honor of the series finale of LOST, or three hours of church wrestling (more likely), Olivia slept from 7pm to 7am last night. Of course, I didn't - I woke up at 4 and crept in to make sure she was still alive. What a sweetie she is. Having two ladies to tote around with me everywhere I go isn't easy, but it is worlds easier than toting around one 3 year old and one colicky, screaming baby, and for that I am infinitely grateful.
Daddy's not-so-little girl

She's also been helping out with spring cleaning. I love those Lysol wipes I got last summer - hand her one and she goes to town. She also loves taking baths with Olivia and washing Olivia's hair. I need to get a picture of that, but hello, I only have so many arms.
