Week 10

Grandma came to visit this past week! It was nice to have her around to help out with Olivia so that I could take a nap here or there, and shower and eat and, well, the basics! Grant and I even got to go on a DATE!! Dinner and a movie . . . all by ourselves! Thanks mom!



We didn't do much - mostly hung out at home with baby, but we did go get some pictures taken of baby. I wanted to surprise Grant with a mommy daughter picture to bring to work, so my mom and I went and had those taken this week. Olivia wasn't really in the mood to get her picture taken, but we did get some cute ones out of it. Here are the ones we got:




Also, this week Olivia slept in her "big girl" crib in her room (instead of the pack-n-play in our room) for the first time. She did really well and hasn't missed a beat with it. The only problem is that her room gets a lot more sun in the morning - so she is up earlier. She is still sleeping pretty well. Usually she goes down around 8-8:30, wakes up around 4am to eat then sleeps until 7 or 7:30am. Not too bad.

Sara and Gracie came over last weekend for the evening while the boys went to a concert. The girls got to hang out some and "play."

Sara also brought us Gracie's little play-gym for Olivia to use since she had grown out of it. Olivia seems to really like it. Here is a picture of her in it and a video of her playing:



Here is baby playing and having a grand ole' time

Not much else going on right now. My two grandmothers are going to be here tomorrow from Rhode Island for a couple days. That will be nice. Then Olivia will start her daycare right after labor day, which is my last week out of work! :( We wanted to start her a week early to get used to the routine of getting her ready in the morning and dropping her off.

That's about it for now. Here are some more pics of the sweat pea for your amusement!
