For Uncle Josh

Uncle Josh asked to see some recent pictures of Olivia, and since she is becoming so animated I thought a little video would be best. This is her today, Sunday morning, playing on her mat and looking in the mirror.

First Playdate

Well, today we had our first play date with a lady I used to work with and her little baby Ellie. Ellie is 7 months so she could do a lot more than Olivia but they looked so cute checking each other out. Ellie was very interested in touching Olivia, but as usual Olivia just looked around.

She is doing a lot more talking now, and can entertain herself for a good stretch of time. Right now she is on her play mat looking at herself in the mirror and playing with some toys on the mat. She is almost able to roll over. She gets onto her side by herself pretty well, especially when she is hungry :)

I have been telling her to talk to Abuela and Grandma when she starts babbling. I can't wait to see you all again.

Lots of love and hugs.

Hola Familia!

Well, Olivia is three months old now. She is talking a lot more, moving her arms and legs everywhere, and smiling the whole time. We started to get into a schedule more regularly since moving to the new apartment. Mondays, Tuesday, and Wednesday Olivia and mama hang out at home. We practice our Spanish on the computer, read books, sing songs, have tummy time, and go for walks. Olivia still loves her columpio and is now getting into her toys, she really loves her amarillo conejo.

Thursday and Friday Papa spends the day with his baby girl. Albert has taken Olivia to the doctor for her shots twice now. She does not like them so they come visit mama at work after. From Thursday - Sunday Albert and I work opposite shifts, so we don't get to see each other much. We have also had uncle Sam over to help when our shifts overlap.

The dogs like the new apartment and Gus has been able to go to the dog-park :) She does very well, she doesn't really play that much yet but she is getting more used to it. Olivia gets everyone's attention with all her hair. Olivia is so calm she goes everywhere with us. I take her to the park in her stroller, and papa takes her to the stores. We are going to start having play dates. I have a play date with one of my old co-workers, and we are all going to meet up with the families from our birthing classes. We saw them this week and they are all too cute.

We look forward to seeing everyone again as soon as possible and talking to you all on the phone. We will try to post pictures more often. Luv ya.
