Olivia learning the importance of a good pour....it's never too early!

Look who found her tongue...

Olivia thinks it's hilarious to stick out her tongue and lick her chin now.  It's so funny to see!

Olivia is 5 months old already!

I forgot to take a picture on her 5-month "birthday," which was last Wednesday. These pictures were taken on Sunday - she's doing really well with sitting on her own when she's propped up.

"Oh, I can't wait to get ahold of you, kitty!"

President's Day weekend

This weekend Brent Sicard came to visit us and it was great to see him again. It had been 3 years since his last visit! He grew a beard for the weekend to keep his face warm when the guys went ice fishing. We thought it made him look like the guy from THE HANGOVER, so here's Liv with her "Uncle Allen!"

Trying to keep her busy...

While Duane and I try to get things done around the house, these are our ways of trying to keep Olivia occupied. It usually works for 10-15 mintues and then she's bored. Although, she's been entertaining herself for longer periods of time lately, which is nice!

If you click on this picture to enlarge it, you'll notice the petal she has in her mouth...usually she's got this shoved so far in her mouth, she ends up gagging herself. It's so funny!

More photos from Liv's weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Potter

Liv is chewing on her bib....we couldn't get her to stop!

Snuggled up for a long walk - 2 hours to be exact! She got a nice nap in while we walked.

All smiles after her long nap during the walk

So snuggly!

Last week the weather here was freezing - below zero in the mornings. I normally don't put a coat on Liv because she has an awesome carseat cover but I did put hats on her just to make sure her head stayed warm. One morning I decided to throw on her Gap Baby hoodie and put the hood up - it made for a great picture! Thanks again, Kathy James, for such an adorable outfit!

Olivia's weekend

Olivia had a wonderful weekend - Grandma and Grandpa Potter flew up to visit! They arrived Friday morning; I picked them up at the airport, came home for a quick conference call and then we picked up Liv at daycare. She was in such a wonderful mood on Friday - smiling and laughing nonstop!

Saturday was spent shopping with me and my mom - she's an excellent shopper! Later that night, Duane and I finally had a date night and went out to dinner at the St. Paul Grill - it was excellent! It was also nice being able to eat and not have to hold a certain someone....

Sunday was beautiful here - about 36*! We all went for a nice, long 5 mile walk - Liv slept the whole time but the fresh air was so good for her.

Another photo from daycare

Olivia has become the "blowout queen" of her classroom - there are days when they have to change her 3 times because of her blowouts! She seems to enjoy sitting in their jumperoo's and exersaucer's and the poo has nowhere else to go but up her back. Lucky for me, I have many loads of pink clothes to wash!
