Our Dancing Machine!

"Livi Sayings"

So we've had a fun week this week! Monday was Aunt Shana day and we went for a cool treat in the afternoon. Tuesday was Music Class, Wednesday Livi's friends came over for a playdate, Thursday Olivia went to Mimi and Poppa's house for a playdate with her sweet cousin Chelsea, and today well....today we did NOTHING! LOL...
I wanted to post a few things that Olivia has been saying lately that we just love! She is trying to say "I Love you"  but it usually comes out "I bujujuju you Mommy!"; she loves it when Max and I are home together so during the week once Max gets home it is always so much fun! She wants us to do everything together so she'll say " Come on Mommy, come on daddy, 'mone!".  She is really interested in  learning how to swim so every night in the bath tub she practices blowing bubbles like daddy taught her and she loves to float on her stomach and "kick, kick, paddle,paddle" all while saying "WATCH MOMMY WATCH!". Reading books is a big hit lately, she will ask me to read her a story then promptly take the book away from me and read it to me in her jibber jabber with one or two recognizable words. So cute! I love how inquisitive she is! (just like Max ) and she is such a sponge...tell her something and she retains it...which we've discovered is good AND bad! We are truly enjoying this age and having a blast with our sweet girl!

Update:

It's been several weeks since I've posted. You'll see what all we've been up to as you read on...from playdates, swimming, to vacationing in Puerto Rico and visiting family it's been an action packed summer so far and we're loving every minute!!!

Fathers Day 2012

We went to the lake for Father's Day weekend so we visited my dad this past Sunday to celebrate with him. Olivia loves making him laugh! She really enjoys making him hold all her toys and coloring with him too :-)! MawMaw has a cat so of course Livi had to check the cat out. MEOW! Dad took her down to the creek to feed the fish. She loves being outside at their house! All new places to discover!

Old Town San Juan

We took Olivia into Old Town San Juan for a little visit one day. What a beautiful little town. Reminded me so much of New Orleans. We also visited the big Fort in town that is over 500 years old. Olivia loved playing in this old guard shack.

Beautiful scenery...

The pool couldn't have been more perfect for Olivia! It was tiered into 3 levels and while daddy played in the big pool...Livi played in the baby pool! Although I'm sure it wasn't exactly designed to be a baby pool but hey!...it worked for us! Beautiful view of the Caribbean from our pool. Max was teaching her how to swim by going "kick, kick, paddle, paddle" and so she showed off her new skills as often as she could! (And still does it in the bath tub at home!)

Our First Family Vacation

Hollywood! Arriving at our villa in Palmas Del Mar, Puerto Rico. We stayed in the Marbella Club and WOW! was a beautiful place!

Aunt B!

I just adore my Aunt B and love watching her with my sweet Livi! Olivia loves showing out and sharing all of her toys with her Aunt B when she comes for a visit.

Swimming and Painting

Olivia would finger paint every day if I let her! She is really enjoying her paintbrushes too! Mimi gave Olivia this precious swimsuit so we had to make sure she wore it when she went swimming at their house. The swim hat??? Yeah..not so much liking that! HAHA!
