This is a video of when I took Olivia to the park one of the warm days we had a couple weeks ago. She can climb up the stairs and crawl over to the slide and go down it all by herself! I did have to help her a couple of times so she would go down on her bum instead of her hands but after a couple of times she got the hand of it!

100 days

In 100 days our second baby girl is due to be here! So that makes it a little more than 3 months away! I can't believe it is coming so quickly! I am just sitting here thinking of all of the things that I have/want to do before then. I better get going I guess because that 100 days (or maybe less) will go by fast. I know I have said this a million times but I can't imagine what it will be like with another baby in the house. Everyone thinks Olivia will be jealous, I think she will too but for some reason I see her being more interested in the baby than anything. She has been practicing her "nice" touch for quite a while on the kitties and she is pretty good at it, he he. Oh this picture was taken a couple of weeks ago at my follow up ultrasound. See her little hand over her head??? So cute!

I Love my pumpkins!

1. I met my husband at the mall. It's true...when I was 17 my friend and I were coming out of the mall and we saw 2 boys drive by. We got in the car and followed them and then they followed us. We finally stopped and talked. I lied and told him I was 18, he asked for my ID, he he. I of course didn't give it to him but did confess about a week later. We saw each other pretty much every day after that... and 6 and 1/2 years later here we are:)

2. I miss my Grandmother. She died almost 2 years ago and was the coolest woman ever. She was so funny and I spent a lot of time with her when I was a little girl. We used to make barbie doll clothes together and she would take me out to dinner and shopping almost every week. When she retired she moved up north so I didn't see her as much but we still stayed very close.

3. I Love animals. Well I used to LOVE animals before I had a baby, now I just love them. They are a lot of work and time and $$ but I do love to cuddle up with my own when I have time and working at an animal hospital is the best because I can see all of the cute animals and then give them back to their owners!

4. I am up at 6:30 am right now writing this. I know, I know after all of my posts about not getting sleep and Olivia is fast asleep and here I am wide awake. I am about 6 months pregnant now and have a hard time getting comfy in bed...and it doesn't help that my dear husband lets his alarm go off for 40 min before he gets up in the am.

5. I am scared about having another baby girl! I keep thinking that no one will be able to compare to my little princess. I know it sounds silly, and I know in the end I will love the new baby just as much. I guess it just doesn't seem real yet, even though I feel her kicking away all the time!

6. I can't wait till it snows. Which is weird because I don't think last year I would have said that, but I want it to really snow. I can't wait to see Olivia out in the snow for the first time and actually want to play in it! I can't wait to put up the Christmas tree, and decorations and drive around and look at the lights. Oh and of course eat all of the good holiday meals and treats!!!

7. I am going back to sleep!

Family picture book

Yesterday during Olivia's nap time I actually did something that I have been wanting to do for a while. Usually when Olivia naps I camp out on the couch eat my lunch, catch up with my DVR and be lazy just because I can be and of course because I am pregnant...that's a good excuse right??? Anyways I made Olivia a picture book of her family. I put a picture of each person and their name underneath it. I even put a picture of her baby sister's ultrasound in it! Her favorite spread is the one of her kitties or mow mows as she calls them and her cousin Lauren. She always has it open to that page and is talking away or saying MOW MOW. Oh and please excuse the red line through the picture...I am not sure why it uploaded like that because it is not like that on my camera. Anyways, In that picture she is talking to her favorite cousin Lauren!

I also let Olivia color yesterday. She did put the crayons in her mouth a couple of times but when I told her no she took them right out and started coloring on the paper. She did pretty good too and it looked like she had fun. There was a little mishap when the paper fell and she decided to color all over her tray, but that is why they invented the wonderful crayola washable crayons! I am sure that I will be washing them off of a lot of things in time!

Oh and one more thing...I did go into Olivia's room at 1am last night when she cried just to check on her and make sure she was warm enough...she of course threw a tantrum, leg kicking and all, when I put her back in her crib but she only cried for about 10 minutes and fell fast asleep! She woke up around 6 because she heard her Daddy getting up but fell asleep on her own again! Then she didn't wake up till after 9am this morning!!!! I was actually up at like 8:30 wondering if she was ok because it was so late. So the sleep thing is going good and I feel better in the morning and she is much happier in the morning and well rested.

Update

I have good news...Olivia slept from about 9pm all through the night until 7 am this morning! I did hear her whining at about 3am but she must of fell back asleep because I didn't hear another peep out of her. Is this a trick? Only one time of crying and she is sleeping through the night? I mean I know she is smart but she is also very stubborn! Well I guess we will see tonight if this is for real or not!
