the daily

just stuff from our daily adventures. like olive waking up and running her bare feet across the slats of her crib. she goes to sleep with socks on. i come to find her with them off. usually one sock beside her and one sock under the crib.

she loves taking baths. this day we decided to try it without water. just for the fun of the bath toys.

verdict is...

just as good.

if not more fun.

first thing in the morning olive likes to hit the books.

before even getting dressed for the day.

she says "umm... yeah this book is a keeper."

she just recently has taken an interest in her stuffed animals which before might as well have been furniture. now she loves them. we have named them zeek the zebra and lilly the leopard. they happen to each be from her grandmas.

she is obsessed with zeeks mouth, mane and hat.

and lily's everything. she is so soft olive just loves tossing her, squishing her and smooshing her face into lilly's head.

good pals.

on this day i set olive up with some green beans and went to the counter to fix her some sweet potatoes.

i turned around to find this mischievous grin.

because she figured out that when she is done with what is in front of her, she can just toss the rest in the floor and no one will ever know the difference.

too smart for her own good.

olive loves going through the recycling.

she is so environmentally conscious.

and plus it's just fun looking at all the colors, words and pictures. and she can flip it all.

look at this silly grin.

anything and everything is fascinating. including my lens cap.

olive is just too beautiful for words.

she still loves reading.

and she still loves strings. here she has pulled one off the office chair.

olive gets a hold of the tiniest string and you would think she has found treasure. she won't lose it. if she drops it she finds it and picks it back up. the string gets put on everything just to see how it looks. especially zeeks mouth. olive thinks that is hilarious.
