Swim lessons, dress up, and a broken camera

I know, I know...it has been a while. Not only have we been very busy, but our camera has been acting up and most of our pictures turn out blurry or with an orange tint. Here are some of the presentable pictures from the past month or so.

We took 'tadpole' swim lessons last month.

Apparently 'tadpole' is code for not learning anything, just walking around the pool with your baby for 30 minutes a day. I didn't expect her to be swimming so young, but I did think they would teach us some safety lessons or at least how to help the babies go under water. I was wrong, we didn't learn anything at all.

Oh well, at least we got to cool off every day after work!

Olivia is still a goofball, just a bigger goofball than before!

One of her new favorite games is dress up. She LOVES to put everything on her head - hats, headbands, blankets, panties, paper, cups - you name it, she puts it on her head!

(I wonder where she gets it?)

This is a headband that came with an outfit she grew out of 6 months ago. The headband finally fits!

She likes her sunglasses too!

This is the baby sign for "put something on my head"

She loves her dolls too! She has 2 dolls, a monkey and a little bear that she plays with all the time. This particular baby has to be swaddled or else she finds someone else to play with!

"Please put something on my head..."

"Thank you!"


I think she was getting ready to work out in this picture. I seem to remember Howie singing some Olivia Newton John...

She even brushes her own hair

Here is the standard picture of Icky that we seem to have in every set of pictures. He is as ornery as always!

At the babysitter's house, all the girls like to put on tutu's. One day I arrived to take Olivia home, and she did not want to take the tutu off. After a gigantic fit, the babysitter let us bring this skirt home!

Besides playing dress up and doing her hair, Olivia still loves reading books and play ball. She also loves playing with her farm animal puzzle.

Hopefully we will fix the camera soon and it won't be another month before I post more pictures! Until then...
