Here's a couple new videos for your viewing pleasure. The first is of Olivia dancing her own special "turn in circles dance". The second is Olivia's reaction to a part in Baby Dolittle (one of the many Baby Einsteins available). Enjoy!

Amanda's Birthday
Yes, Amanda turns another year older today. It's amazing to think it's been a year since we were up in Tulsa for Laurie and Damon's baby shower and had a little birthday surprise for Amanda at P.F. Changs. This year is going to be quite a bit more laid back with a day of rest for Amanda then an early dinner at Tacos Garcia. She wants to have an "Amanda Day" sometime soon with a trip to the hair salon and a massage...which in my opinion should have happened several more times prior to now, but with Amanda's workload pretty heavy right now and my freaky schedule, it makes it more difficult for it to transpire. But it will happen soon.
Anyway, an update on Olivia...and everything is going along really well. As the videos have shown, Olivia is walking very well now and getting into just about everything imaginable. Keeping up with her and her seemingly endless energy supply is a daunting task, but it's also very fun. She is saying quite a few more words...some she'll say a lot (like "shoe") and others come and go. Last night, Amanda and I were getting her ready for bed and we were playing around the love seat. Olivia came out from behind the love seat and Amanda said, "There she is!" and Olivia repeated that phrase perfectly with the exact same tone and inflection! Amanda and I just looked at each other with our mouths wide open. That was the first time she even tried to say something like that and it came out crystal clear. Go figure. Olivia has four teeth completely in with her two front teeth almost all the way in. She's got several swelled spots on her gums where more teeth are about to poke through...especially farther back. She's had her rough days when it comes to teething, but overall it's gone about as well as can be expected.
I've posted quite a few videos in the past couple months, but I haven't posted any pictures recently. Sorry about that. So, here are a bunch of pictures from the past couple months...a kind of "best of" from June and July. Enjoy!
Having fun with bathtub foam!
Just relaxing and pondering life on the love seat
Doing her best "Hannibal the Cannibal" impression...okay, it's really ketchup.
My two favorite girls
Dressed in yellow
At the waterpark
Olivia's messy hair
Olivia and Logan
Looking cute (and rather big-bellied) outside
Trying on dad's shoes
Focused and playing hard at the Discovery Center
If you play hard, you sleep hard
