I am 7 months old today!

Being 7 months has its perks. We let Olivia try to eat the gerber graduate snacks that melt in her mouth. She was able to figure out how to pick them up by the fistful and put them in her mouth. She had a great time playing with this food. It was amazing to see her little brain figure out how to do this new task. Once she gets teeth real food will be really fun! Her big sister had a mouth full of teeth at this age, but Olivia still has not even broke her first tooth, yet. Soon I am sure.

Visit to Auntie's house

Here is my sister :)

Last Friday the girls and I went to visit my sister in Seattle for part of the day. We had a good time shopping and having lunch together. The girls look forward to doing this again soon. Here are a few pictures we took while on our visit.

Working hard on sitting up!

I am working with Olivia every day on sitting unsupported. She has that reflex to jerk backwards so sometimes things don't end up pretty. Tonight, however, Olivia sat up playing with her toy for 5-6 minutes without falling over. I was able to snap some pictures of her upright.

Then after her 5-6 minutes up she started to go over........

And ended up on her back.

I put her back upright and something really made her mad so she screamed.

How sad is that face!

10 minutes later she was dressed and all better.

She has such a good disposition!

Fun in Olympia

Jake had a business trip and we went with him to enjoy the sun! We spent 4 sunfilled days in the state capitol. It was around 100 degrees while we were there. Good thing we were smart and chose to stay at a hotel with an outdoor pool. The girls and I shopped, swam and walked the days away.

It was sooooo relaxing.

Olivia's awesome water toy.

She had never been swimming before and she took to the water right away. She learned to splash Ashlyn.

It was fun to watch them.

All the fun in the sun was exhausting for Miss Olivia. She took a 3 and a half hour nap on the pool deck in the nice shade.

Independence Day 07/04/07

We started our funfilled day with a parade, then we went to a barbecue with friends and finished the day with carnival rides and fireworks. We had a good day.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY 2007!!!!!!

Ashlyn & Olivia

WOW! I am floating!

The logger rodeo parade would not be complete without log trucks.

OR tractors!
