GREAT weather but BAD teething going on in St. Paul....

Just like most of the country, we're experiencing much higher temps than we normally do and we are LOVING it! The downside - this weather must be bringing in the remainder of Liv's teeth. She's been really, really drooly the past several days but as of last night, she is experiencing some major pain. Last night, she refused to eat anything but Popsicles (which caused sugar bumps on her tongue - oops!) and cried for about 2 1/2 hours! She has been able to sleep pretty well but man oh man, the drool is unbelievable! On Sunday, we changed her shirt 3 times.

Backtracking a bit - Friday Duane and I took the day off and had a "date day" to celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary. Olivia went to school like a normal day so we had to day to ourselves. We ran errands at Menards, Trader Joe's, IKEA, had lunch, caught a movie, shopped a bit and then it was time to get Olivia.

Saturday was spent outside, running to the grocery store and then dinner at our friends' house. Olivia did great playing with their Tupperware before dinner and then ate a ton of salmon, potatoes and peas. We were even able to relax with cappuccinos and dessert before it was time to head home with the sleepy baby.

Sunday's weather was great again and Olivia was outside ALL DAY, except during her nap after lunch. We were able to put her slide outside and hang up her swing. Her favorite thing - taking rocks and putting them on and off the side steps of her slide. We lost count with how many times she worked on this activity.

then stacking them on the steps!

Today Olivia and I participated in a Parent & Me class through our gym. Liv is technically too young (most kids are 2+) but we joined anyway. She didn't really participate necessarily but had fun running around the studio and chasing the dodge balls. Next week is the parachute, not sure how that will go....
