Olivia is very serious about this. Go vote!

Happy Halloween!

From our little monkey, who had fun trick-or-treating at Daddy's office today.

Mommy let a friend give her ice cream. What good is Halloween without a sugar load, after all? She loved it!

Funny girl

Olivia likes to blow kisses.



Reading a book and laughing.

Zoo and other fun

Big smiles in line at "Boo at the Zoo"

Grandma gave Olivia her first sucker, which she LOVED.

Where's the candy?

Riding on her car.

Very happy baby.

In various stages of activity...

Riding on Daddy's shoulders. "Go over there, Daddy"

Yep, I'm darn cute.

I'm busy, very busy.

Whoa, what a cool toy! Mom, you must get me some toys like this. Trey has all the coolest stuff!

Baby antics and bonus costume pic

Riding the horsie at playdate

She found a purse and put it around her neck. Apparently she thought this was hilarious.

Olivia showed up to her friend's first birthday party in costume, as requested. But the costume didn't last long. She was sweating in there. And in case you are wondering, it is a monkey.

Hanging out on a barstool.

In motion at Grammy & Grampy's house. Must...Bend...Plate...While...Marching...Over...Here...

What? Huh?

Playing with Pig, her best stuffed animal pal. He hangs out on Grammy's couch and waits for Olivia to visit.

Admiring Grammy's Fall garden yield.

Olivia has started trying to dress herself. This morning, she took a sleeper out of her hamper and was successful in getting it over her head. And then she wore it around just like this.

And here's Olivia trying to put her own jacket on.

Insert cute caption here

It's hard to come up with captions for picture posts when the pictures don't have a common subject. I may just start labeling them with their date. Grrr...

Getting a hug from cousin Trey. They love each other!

Sitting in our sunny foyer.

She fell asleep in her chair today, still holding the handles of her sippy cup. This one-nap thing is working really well except that it's sometimes difficult to get her through lunch before nap.
