Video from the Aquarium!

Here is a little video of Olivia feeding her beloved LoriKeet birds at the aquarium yesterday.. She was pretty patient for a 2 year old...with a little gentle coaching from "mom" of course... haahahaha!

An afternoon with the Fish!

Yesterday afternoon Chad and I decided to take the kids to the Long Beach Aquarium. It was such a nice afternoon. Olivia had been there once before but was really too little to enjoy last year... this time we met up with our good friend Kevin and his older daughter Gracie who is just 2 months older than Olivia. We all had a great time....after the aquarium we stayed in Long Beach a little longer to enjoy some dinner and a walk along the water where Olivia LOVED looking at the boats in the harbor. It was a fabulous afternoon.



She really enjoyed feeding the LoriKeet birds some nectar!

Gracie and Olivia really looked hard for the Sea Lions... it was hilarious to watch them try to figure out where they were!





The girls really liked to press their little hands up against the glass and just stare at the fish!

It was a great day!

Our Big Girl

So yesterday was the day that we weren't quite prepared for..... it was the day that Olivia moved into her new big girl bed. It was lovingly passed down to her from her cousin Hadley and fits perfectly into the nursery. It is so strange that now there is a twin bed in there directly across from the crib where Finn will start to sleep in a few months.

Anyway, we put the bed in there and expected for there to be tears and frustrations over leaving her crib. Not one tear was shed and to our suprise she bounded into her new bed and laughed , then proceeded to take a 2 1/2 hour nap. Crazy. I love the way she just rolls with the punches...when we told her that Finn would soon be sleeping in her old crib she got very excited and screeched a loud "Hurray!". She never ceases to amaze...

Here is a great pic that pretty much captures her emotion over getting a new big girl bed complete with a polka-dot comforter.

Finn Month 1

Ok, so Finn is actually almost 7 weeks at this point but we have been out of town and sooooo busy. Here are some highlights from his first month at home.

Finn can:

1.Lay on his back and look real cute.

2. Cry when he is hungry.

3. Sleep a lot.

4. Look real cute... ( oh, I already mentioned that one. )

5. Spit up and still look cute doing it... :-)

I'm afraid the Month 1 achievements are pretty dull. Stay tuned for Month 2 when more exciting things will be coming your way!
