Weekend excitement

Daddy's college's mascot. I'm not afraid!


See, I'm riding the Puma!


My first swim in Grandma and Grandpa's pool.

Very busy girl

"Helping" Mommy with shopping, and finally big enough to sit in the shopping cart seat.


Nothing is safe from the hands of the amazing crawling baby.


Grabbing her toes.


Trying to inspect the gifts from a friend's birthday party.


Utterly exhausted. And truly adorable.

May photos

Taking in all the sights at the church social.


Playing in her exersaucer


What? I was being good. Honest!


Grandma sure has lots of toys.


This outfit is a hand-me-down. Doesn't it look great on me?


Enjoying a Memorial Day get-together.

(Almost) 6 month studio photos

Olivia was still fighting a nasty cold in these shots, but she managed several great smiles. If you click on the individual photos, you can see them up close. Then you can see the watery eyes, the drool and the pearly whites that she was showing off in some of them.



You can see her teeth in this one if you click on it.



Oh, what a pretty flower. I think I'll drool on it.


Mr. Bear! What are you doing in my basket?


This one is a great shot of those two teeth.


Cheesy photo alterations help the studio sell more photos. The photographer was trying to get her to smile in this photo, but she was tired of smiling by then.

Growing up so fast

If you look closely, you can see her bottom two teeth. They are very hard to capture, though, because the princess is not inclined to flash them on command.


Walking (with help). This is what she wants to do all day. It gets a little exhausting for Mommy, though.


Her first taste of sweet potatoes. She was more interested in chewing on the spoon.


Getting used to this spoon feeding thing.

Sitting in her new ladybug chair. (Thanks, Maria!)
