FrankenWalking & Glasses

Olivia giving her legs a try ... maybe these things are worth something after all :-)



Some of you have wondered how the glasses are going ... we'll let you judge for yourself. Good thing they make 'em tough :-)

Starting To Stand

Hot News ... Olivia has started standing on her own.  We are so excited and happy for her.

A Few More Photos

Here are some photos taken in our backyard recently.  Olivia loves to play outdoors!

She has a good arm!

That newly emerged pincer grasp is coming in handy!

Two New Photos

Realized that I have not posted new photos in a while.  Here are two.

Olivia is loving trying out some cloth diapers and wool covers.  Mommy is enjoying them too!
 In addition to being soft and wonderful, they will help Olivia realize that wetting in her pants is uncomfortable and that using a potty is a good alternative. But potty training will most likely not start until Olivia is a walker. 

God Doesn't Make Mistakes

This video says it all about my life with Olivia  (only I was not the mother with the ultrasound, the message to Olivia's birthmom was the same)

Olivia is truly a fabulous blessing in my life!  I would not change one thing about her!

Watch the video.... it is my life!!!!  And a wonderful life it is!!!

Video of Olivia (hopefully)

Olivia washing her face.... etc

Easter photos

Here are just a few Easter photos:

Blessed Happy Easter!   Rejoice!  Jesus is Risen!

All ready for Mass and playing with my Easter basket.  Raggedy Anne was a gift from my Birthday in 2010, but she was sitting in my basket this morning. Silly Annie!  :-)

Loving my soft cuddly Melissa and Doug bunny that Daddy found at Whole Foods. 

My Easter LOOT!!!!!  Books!!!! I LOVE books!!!!  And bath toys and a HOLY CARD!!! I LOVE Holy Cards!!!!!
 In lieu of Birthday cards, please send my laminated Holy Cards!!!!
This morning I was sitting looking at my Blessed Pope John Paul II card from my godmother and I was saying PaPa!!!!  No wonder my mommy loves me so much!!!

Mommy and Daddy insisted we color Easter eggs.  I was not happy about it at all. They would not let me throw them. Give me the plastic ones any day!  I can throw those and put them in the dishwasher.  And then Daddy tried to get me to eat a piece of white egg this morning at breakfast. I put it in my mouth and spit it back out. He should not trick a cute little girl.  Last night at dinner, he took me and Mommy to a nice restaurant in Granger and tricked me with sweet potato fries.  I spit them back out too. I like the baked sweet potato only when it was baked whole.  This other way will not do!  I have my standards. The waitress loved me and brought me broccoli and bananas.  Bless her!  She also was learning how to sign so she could talk to me better.  Such a love! Hope Daddy tipped her well!
