what's up with the obs?

olive is just as sweet as ever. almost 11 months old.

she is such a big girl.

she has her own spoon that she holds when olive eats meals.

she doesn't do much with it, but it makes her feel important.

she cruises around on everything. anything she can hold onto, she will walk beside, around and onto something else.

on this day she started going to book babies at the library. she loved it. from the time she got there until the time she left she was smiling. olive loves other babies and that joint was full of them!

patting the coffee table.

dad is helping her walk behind her activity center walker.

if he lets go she pushes the thing all the way forward and falls on her face.

so dad helps.

yay, i am a big girl!

watch me turn the corner and leave 'em in the dust!

just plain cute is what she is.

olive loves how the warmer weather allows for bare feet.

they are pretty cool, ya know.

we have some snacks as couch picnic snacks.

banana and cheerios are just more fun when you are in a cozy place.

even though we have allergies, we take our medicine so we can enjoy the sunshine and fresh air of the outdoors.

clover, you wanna come?

yeah, the girls are soaking up the sun!

love my little lady!

olive enjoys hanging out in the sunroom, too.

just like clover, she likes having the eagle eye on the backyard.

looking at a magazine.

another silly face as she shows me her treasured little piece of paper. she always pulls a little piece of paper off of stuff and, just like her strings, never loses it. she plays with it forever.

always in love with the lens cap.

such a sweet lady.

dad built this awesome shelving unit for all our books.

ahh, the mecca! olive says! she loves hanging out at bookshelves.

check me out!

one day when we were at daniel's office daniel picked up a piece of chalk and wrote on a chalkboard while holding olive. she picked up a piece of chalk and wrote on the board too. we were amazed. so i went and got her some paper and crayons.

she will write on the paper very sparingly.

the funnest part is just playing with the crayons. she loves them as objects. they really get her smiling just to hold them and shake them and roll around with them.

clover, have you seen my cool new color sticks?

this is after her third haircut i have given her. i did the sides and the back to make it look cleaner and not so scraggly. i have it now to where there isn't anymore baby hair. just healthy hair to grow.

so precious!

and she is so big now she is in seperates for sleepwear. c'mon, how cute is this?

little green riding hood. daddy dressed her today. just adorable!

still loves playing with the recycling.

after an all-nighter at studio with daniel trying to finish his new albany project he brought me these flowers. such an amazing guy, i think i will keep him.

we gave olive a flower too. she thought she should wear it in her hair.

what did we ever do without this little lady?
