the faces of Olivia.

Our days around here sure are bright & cheery! (:
Olivia's personality is really starting to show!
She makes more faces that any child I have ever seen.

She has start fake laughing, crying, sneezing, gagging, you name it..

 

Today at lunch we were sitting here on the couch & she managed

to get a hold of Bryan's Power Bar & she thought it was the funniest

thing ever!!! (:

I decided to grab the camera & capture her JOY! (:
 

Hope this brightens your day! (:

fun day at the park

Yesterday we decided to take a walk to the park! (:

We have never taken Olivia. I was so glad I grabbed my camera on the way out the door!

She LOVED it!

& this mom was scared for her half the time.

thank goodness daddy has a since of adventure & let her climb & go anywhere she wanted!

It was good for her & i guess me too!

 

swinging with daddy! (;

 swinging with mommy (;

 

climbing. she has discovered a LOVE for climbing!

she wasn't to sure about the slide a first but later she almost went down headfirst by herself! 

 

(;

wee! (: she loved it!

 

more climbing. this girl is a MONKEY!!! if she want to be somewhere she will try her hardest to get there. we found out last week that if it means climbing the BABY gate she will attempt it!

(i found her half way up the baby gate last week, she was in the process of trying to get her leg over when i got her off...)

 

this little bridge is curved so she would crawl up the first half almost fall head first down the second half until she discovered.....

if you scoot on your bottom it's alot easier to get down the other side of the bridge! (:

so, can anyone say....

BUSY BODY!!??

i have know this for a LONG time but it was confirmed yesterday that the older she gets the more full our hands get! whew!!!

now, off to do my daily duties!

Fall Family Pictures

 

 

 

 

mommy & me

We finally managed to get daddy behind the camera! (:

This was the true test.
alot of people here in Quinter thinks she looks exactly like me whenever they see her & I think she looks like her daddy. to me, this picture proves that she looks more like her daddy!

she is the light of our life!

6 months

I can't believe my sweet baby is already 6 months old! She has begun to scoot all over & somewhat starting to crawl. she is pulling up to anything that will stay still long enough for her to get on her feet. she finally has her first tooth (after much fussiness) & is starting on the next one. She loves to eat just about anything esp cheerios! It has been the most amazing 6 months of our lived & we are trying to enjoy every minute of this!

xo.betsy

over the weekend we had an oppertunity to get some updated family pictures! (:

xo. betz

Best Friends

Friends are little blessings,
Sent from above,
To guide and support us,
With all their love…

 Friends are little blessings,
With a great big heart,
Sharing their wisdom,
And all that they are…

Friends are little blessings,
Angels in disguise,
Hugs straight from heaven,
Under the guise,
Of a caring friend,
But underneath you’ll find,
A loving gentle soul with a lot to give.

Friends are blessings indeed,
And I’m ever so grateful,
You were sent to me.

 I am so thankful that I was blessed with such a wonderful friend & it's so fun to have babies just 4.5 months apart!

"Friends are a blessing, Thank YOU again LORD!"
