It is about time....

So Olivia's hair is finally to the point where it looks cute straight! For the longest time her hair was the texture of baby duck fluff. Whenever I would straighten her hair she looked like Doc from Back to the Future! But finally, she has enough hair and it is long enough to look cute. Of course, as soon as she takes a nap or we go to the park (like we are in this picture), and she sweats a Little, it springs back up again into an unruly afro. At least it looks cute for a couple of hours.

Happy Birthday to my Little Man!

Olivia's First Hospital Trip

we knew it was only a matter of time.

She was standing on the top bunk of her brother's bed (and apparently they were playing a little game of "lets jump off the top bunk onto the pillows on the floor" thankfully we had no broken bones!) and the ceiling fan was going at full speed. She got a nice little gash on the back of her head.

She had a total blast in the hospital! She got a teddy bear to keep and all the attention was on her. She was in the best mood ever and she was acting like a total crazy wild woman the whole time! I was so embarrassed because she was supposed to be in pain - but NOOOO - she was having a grand ol' time.

Thankfully she was able to watch Dora and Diego on Dan's cell phone, that kept her still for a few minutes.

She came home with 5 staples!
