14 Months, Week 1

What better way to celebrate a 14 month birthday, than with frozen yogurt?  I know I say this every month, but I can't believe how quickly time is flying by and how big Olivia is getting!  Ack!  Although some days are a bit rough at times, I really do love having these days at home with her.  Summer is going by too quickly!

Last weekend, our good friend Kalman came over to play.  They played so well together!  It was also quite toasty outside so we headed to the splash pad at Billericay Park.  Such a fun place and perfect for trying to beat the heat.

Due to the high heat and lack of rain, our lawn and some of our plants have gotten a little bit crunchy.  Olivia was a big help when she and I went to Lowe's to get some replacements.  When we got home, she also helped Josh with the planting.  She loves to help whenever possible.  She gets so excited and claps her hands while wearing the biggest smile when you tell her, "Good job!"

Some days, the only way to beat the heat is to avoid it and stay inside!  Today we went to story time at the library.  Olivia liked the singing, dancing, and play time with the toys and other kiddos (sitting and listening to the stories was not really a preferred activity!).  Later in the afternoon, we went to an indoor play place with bounce houses called "Monkey Joe's" with our friends Miss Nichole and Isabella.  They have a special area for kiddos under three.  The girls were a little unsure of the bounce houses and Olivia seemed to prefer just running around the whole place.  Oh well, I think they still had fun!
