Hotter Than the Devil's Drawers

It's been hot as hell down here for last six days, so we really haven't done too much except stay in the house and try to stay cool. Amanda is trying to make a habit of taking Olivia and the dogs for a walk first thing in the morning. Some mornings she accomplishes the task, but there are just some mornings she needs to go back to sleep...and she does. Amanda is trying to get a little more physically active while allowing Olivia to get some fresh air and getting Fiona to exercise her back leg. It's hard to be motivated to go out for a walk when it's 80 degrees at 9:00 in the morning though.

Olivia's pictures came out pretty well...at least two of the poses were worth getting additional copies of. If you would like to see them, go to https://www.searsphotos.com/view_shared_roll_images.asp?shareid=S204368221lU7AVK42SW6&tag= and check them out. The one picture of her feet with Amanda's wedding ring was a cute idea...it's just that we forgot to clean out Olivia's toe jam before she snapped the picture. The other challenge was trying to get Olivia to smile for the camera. That's pretty much what you would expect the main challenge to be with a 3-month-old baby. Oh well. They still came out decent enough.

Olivia has started "testing" various items by putting them in her mouth...and thoroughly sliming them. She hasn't quite got to the point that she can just reach out and grab something yet, but she's close. Olivia is doing a lot of smiling recently, but anytime I try to get out the camera and take a picture, she stops smiling and starts studying the camera with the furrowed brow. That's not the picture I want! I'll keep trying though. I did decide to make a little Olivia collage with Photoshop. I think it turned out pretty good.


Since there's not much more to add, I'll finish this post with a variety of pictures taken in the last week or so.
