Olivia and Kerry's Spring Day

Kerry and I hung out today - it was so beautiful out! Here are a few of our pics being together.

Look how blue the sky is!

O, Those Eyes

Easter 2010

Easter was a really special day. First, I got to talk with all my grandparents (even Grammy and Boppa) in Michigan on skype, then we went over to the cousin's for easter egg hunting. I got to wear my blue checkered dress with the bunnies on it and my new Easter shoes. Daddy helped me hunt for easter eggs (walking sure helps out with that!). Breaks were required often - it was a busy day!

Alina showed me the ropes. She is one heck of an easter egg hunter. She won the pre-schooler division and I won the toddler division for most eggs.

Here's the judge making the final count...

After hunting, we had our traditional confetti egg crackin' hoopla. No matter how prepared you are - you'll never be ready for that first surprise egg smashed all over your head. I helped mam pick out some of the confetti from her hair.

Daddy helped me find my eggs. I was careful about it, like I am with most things. Didn't want to crack any. By the end of the hunt, I was much better at getting the eggs and putting them in my basket.

I made sure to get some time in on the big girl swing - since I can eat in my own chair now, I figured I can also swing in a big girl swing. I was wrong - but as usual, Daddy came to my rescue. If you make it to the end, you'll see happy Emmett again!

A Cuteness Montage

One for old time's sake...from such a little baby...To such a big girl!

Check out my tooth!

Kisses for everyone!

My Crawlin' Days Are Over...

So, I started taking steps a few months ago - right before my first birthday. But I have to admit, it's been a wobbly road. Around 13 months I started really cruising, but could really make the tranision between carpet to tile to sidewalk to gravel, etc. I heard of lot of "drunk baby" comments and pretty much have a permanent bruise on mybutt. Now I'm 14 months and things are coming together. Today, I pretty much "got" it - I can walk almost anywhere holding almost anything while looking cute, waving, blowing kisses, eating, you name it. And I love it. Mama keeps saying that I am a prety big girl now, but I know I'm still her baby O!

Looking for Daddy and I'm a Waving Machine

I like to keep track of Daddy and have realized that I can yell out his name and (usually) he'll come running! Not in this video, but I gave it my best try. So, instead I decided to do my usually thang...waving and blowing kisses. I'll wave at just about anything, people, dogs, the snow...I'm a waving machine.

Hooray for Health Care Reform!!!

Grown Up Eating

I've decided that grown up eating is for me! I am starting out with coffee... Moving on to sitting in a chair at the table using a plate (oranges in salsa are awesome!).

But really, nothing beats just flat out smearing yogurt all over my face.

Daddy Took Me to the Zoo!

Daddy put on my animal dress and got us ready for a day out together... I love spring break because it means lots of time for me and Daddy. We went to the zoo one day and rode the carosal... Saw crazy monkeys...

And watched the animals!

Me and My Pups

Kerry got a new puppy named Avery. She brings her over whenever she comes to watch me. At first I wasn't so sure about his new puppy because she likes to jump all over me and sometimes nip at me, but now I'm in love...I like when she snuggles up close to me... But I think my heart is still with Daisy too - she lets me ride her! Well, I pretend she lets me ride her!

St. Paddy's Day 2010

St. Patrick's Day was a lot of fun - a beer drinking, corned beef eating hoopla. We partied at Aunt Mo and Uncle Del's house. I wore my green! Here's me and Aunt Jenny...

I was really getting my walking down around this time, but always time to stop and say hi!

FaMiLy Time...

We've had lots of time to spend with family lately! The cousins, mama's cousins, aunts, uncles! Here are me, Daddy, and Mama all together on Easter. She's practically family - Debora came and lived with us for a month. She brings sunshine to the house!

Here's daddy with Emmett - he was in awe of his long beard!

Cousins abound! They're everywhere - Alina, Duel, and Cade.

Here's me, Mama, and her cousin Marty - she and Duel were out for a visit from Grand Junction.

Here's Emmett and Duel horsing around...

And best of all...here is Emmett laughing - he is the happiest kid I've ever met. He smiles all the time and even think getting his diaper changed is funny!

Beer Musak

Daddy has taught me how to blow in bottles to make tunes...

One Last Winter Hike

Just before it really warmed up, we went on one last winter hike with Cody and his parents. I have to admit, I was pretty tired and didn't make it through the whole hike awake, but it's no problem when I have daddy to carry me.
