Happy St. Patrick's Day

Olivia sends Happy St. Patrick's Day wishes!!

Swim Lessons

Olivia started swim lessons today at the Y. She wasn't too sure about it at the beginning, but by the end, she was smiling, laughing, and having a good time. Here are a few pictures...

Bath Time Fun

Olivia really likes taking a bath. Here are some cute pictures of her playing in the bath. She even tries to wash her face as well as wash her toys. She likes standing up, which she knows that she is not supposed to do...she tells me "no, no, no" as I try to make her sit down...obviously, that's what I say to her!!

All Smiles

Olivia is about 16 1/2 months old now. It's hard to believe how fast time flies. She is talking more and more every day and probably says about 35 words. She has even put 2 words together a few times. While she has a ton of language, she still has decided not to walk! One of these days I suppose! She loves smiling for the camera...here are a few pictures that we took! Plus, she also loves to eat...especially treats like pudding and cookies!

We're home from the hospital!

Olivia was in the hospital this past week for bronchiolitis...which she had last year. She had trouble breathing and was getting very dehydrated when we went in on Monday. She got a little better everyday, but she continued to have trouble keeping her oxygen levels up. So we had to stay all week, and she wore oxygen. She did an awesome job and didn't try to take off the oxygen from her nose! She was still her happy self as she smiled and talked to all the nurses! She even would lift her toe and legs up when the came to check her oxygen levels and blood pressure during vitals!! We came home on Friday, and Olivia is doing fine. We're glad to be home. Thank you to everyone for the thoughts and prayers. We truly appreciated them! I'll try to post some pictures that I took on my phone if I figure that out!! :o)

Chicago

Crawling through a tunnel at the Children's Museum

Crying, because she doesn't like the Santa behind her

After Christmas, we took the train to Chicago for a few days. Ali, Jonice, and Korbin came with us. We had a great time. We went shopping, ate lots of great food, went to Navy Pier, went to the Children's Museum, Ali & I saw Wicked (which was awesome!!), and Jonice and I went to the spa.

Christmas

I know that this post is a little delayed, but better late than never. We had a wonderful Christmas. We went back to the Flint area and celebrated with our families. Olivia had a great time opening her presents especially her baby doll...just look at her "ooo" expression!
