Walking with Olive

This morning we went for a walk around the neighborhood - we were both happy to put long sleeve shirts on for the outing (finally!) Olive added some tights and a hat to her ensemble, and we were off. It's fun to see the neighborhood at a different time than I'm used to seeing it (commuting to and from work) -a whole new set of habits and people out and about. We're going further now that the weather is cooperating - I'm keeping my Seattle-spirit alive by going outside and walking to destinations.. I'm also keeping myself in walking shape, so when the day comes to go back to the puget sound, I'll be in coffee-shop walking distance shape! (kristen!)

Olive is 5 months today! Honestly, in some ways it's gone fast, and in other ways, very slowly.. all in all though, I think she's a pretty cool little girl, and we think we'll keep her ;)

Practicing

Olive fell asleep at the dinner table the other night, with Delilah right underneath her. Delilah hasn't been able to get anything good off of her tray yet, but she knows the day is coming when being underneath Olive will benefit her greatly, and I imagine she's just practicing and biding her time...

Foodie

We got the okay at our 4 month doctor appointment to start Olive on baby food and rice cereal, with the goal of it just being fun and experimental. Let the games begin! - we bought her a high chair, put on her seahawks bib, and dug in. It was pretty funny - she mainly plays with it, rolling it around in her mouth and letting it fall out. I get such a kick out of it - a very entertaining way to eat :)

Thursday

Funny Faces

Not meaning to abandon the blog - trying to find the time to write more meaningful things than status updates of daily chores. Enjoying taking pictures of our baby girl, staying in touch with friends, reading books, getting ready for football, keeping doors and windows open - these are the things that are keeping my days full.
