Day 3

Olivia went to the planetarium and the Field Museum before having dinner at a tapas restaurant with Sarah's friends Julie and Dan (who live in a suburb of Chicago). What a busy day!!

Day 2 (Happy 6 month b-day!)

Olivia went and swam with all the big and little fishes at the acquirium. Plus, she got to eat at the House of Blues for a special 6 month birthday dinner...plus chocolate cake at the hotel!

Day 1 in Chicago!!

Olivia took her first vacation...spring break in Chicago. We rode the train from Kalamzoo. On Monday (day 1), we walked around town, ate at the Cheesecake Factory, and saw the big town from the Observatory!!

We caught the Easter Bunny...

Olivia hoped that everyone had a happy Easter!! She had an awesome time visiting all the Peterson and Conner families!!! She is smiling so much now...and we're starting to hear some good laughs. She has decided that she really likes oatmeal with bananas and sweet potatoes!! Yeah!! She is beginning to roll to one side...maybe onto her tummy soon. She still hasn't gotten over her bronchiolitis yet...hopefully soon!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Olivia's shirt said "Kiss me...I'm Irish today." How could you not kiss this cute face!

Mmmm...I sure do love my hands!

Olivia has become almost obsessed with eating her hands. She is so cute. She will take her pacifier out, look at it, drop it, and then put her hands in her mouth!!

Rice Cereal...Take 2

Olivia turned 5 months yesterday! It is amazing how time flies. This past week we tried rice cereal again...only the rice cereal with bananas. Olivia liked it much better! She is opening her mouth now...although a lot still falls out. She weighs about 13 lbs, 3 oz. We have been practicing sitting in our bebe pod seat, so our head control gets even better. She is such a happy baby...although she doesn't smile very much for the camera. She loves looking at the lights!
Here are some pics from our second attempt at cereal...and the bath that needed to follow!
