Thanksgiving and Everyday Fun

It's been a while since the last post, and I have no good reason for this other than it was a holiday. Thanksgiving was busy while we bounced around from place to place, but there is nothing like family at the holidays.

Now for everyday fun. We love to take mini videos just around the house, and I highly recommend anyone with a baby to get a little camera to take mini vids. (Much easier to upload) The newest funny of Olivia is her fake laugh. Generally it is a squeaky silly high pitch giggle that mocks you if you laugh first. However, last week, it took a strange turn...see video below.




We also like to think we teach Olivia something new every day. This day it was a premium dance lesson from Mommy...





Lastly, tonight we had a kitchen sink bath. It's just so much easier sometimes (on your back mainly) and it also saves a lot of water. :-) Please don't look around the horribly messy kitchen. That doesn't get cleaned up until after Olivia goes to bed. Anyways, she's going through a fussy spell at the beginning because she's cutting her 2nd tooth...that's right, 2nd! Ha ha ha. So I quickly distract her with an amazing cup and the trusty shaky jaw.





After the bath, I dried Olivia off while she lay in front of the fire resting her head on a pillow watching GoDiegoGo. I then rubbed/massaged her with lotion, greased her bottom, combed her hair and put on a fresh pair of pj's. I gave her her bedtime bottle only to have her ditch me for her "big girl" chair. (Notice the leisurely crossed feet) One day she'll tell me thank you...I hope.



PS - Thank you Mom. I love you. Meena, I know Neil says the same.
