olive is dino-mite

olive is working through 

her debate

of why jurassic park would be awesome.

it should happen tomorrow, she says.

we love this girl

clover's love interest

if olive is up and around...

clover won't be far behind.

i think she thinks olive is a big marshmallow...

because all she wants to do is lick her all day.

clover's zeal and early morning camera flash gave her some pretty great expressions.

they have become real buddies. it is an equal fascination.

after work

there is nothing like olive and daddy time after work. they dance...

cuddle...

look at hands...

have tickle monster attacks...

and even read.

daddy olive time is good for all.

a fall day

sittin up like a big girl.

loves her toys.

this is her "get outta here you before i pop you one good" shot.

just a day in the life

you know, taking pictures...

eating pictures...

taking baths....

eating hands.

just mommy and daddy stuff

don't we look all stripey- i love it!

headed to an art show.

my little strawberry gnome about to go on a walk.

nobody ever looked this good in blue.

daddy came home for breakfast!

it's always good to see daddy!

in case you wonder if we have fun days

this girl makes for the best days ever. between her and her daddy- i hit the jackpot!

are you trying to take pictures of me?

well how do you like this?! hand to lens combo!

"looking at" meaning tearing up mommy's magazine. but it makes such good crinkly noises!

little toes on a little lady. she likes to keep them curled under.

i think i like this perspective better.

such a cutie- i love her to pieces!

wood family visit

(clover is not so sure about all these visits to see olive- what is she chopped liver? "mmm..."she says "where is the chopped liver?")

mom was inspired by the williams trip and when she had a few days off in a row she brought grandma wood, who had also never seen olive.

and plus mom was missing the little bug too.

mom got olive laughing quite a bit. she knows how to be silly really well!

4 generations of ladies- how special!

grandma wood loved seeing olive! and of course olive loved grandma wood, like everyone else does.

mom was sure to soak up olive on her short visit.

olive was fascinated by grandma wood- she can be silly too!

getting in some last minute snuggles before having to head back the next morning.

olive loves her grandma moo!

it was such a special visit!
