one, two, three...

Olivia took her first steps this weekend!  I was so happy to share that moment with Joe and not hear about it after I get home from work. We also got to share it with Joe's mom and sister.

On Saturday we went to Sea World with one of Audrey's best friends Amelie.  I don't know what Audrey was more excited about; Shamu or seeing Amelie. 

On Sunday we were relaxing with Joe's family before the drive back to LA and Olivia got bold and stepped away from daddy.  She also did it again when we stopped at my parents house on the drive home.  That is 3 and counting.  Wow she is now on the move.

 
Joe is in San Francisco tonight and when I turned around earlier I found that Olivia had pushed the chair up to the TV and was standing on the CHAIR!!!  WHAT!!!! But yes, I did take a picture before I got her down.  As I am typing Olivia is finishing off her dinner of cheese ravioli with pesto that was served with zuccini and carrots.  Her appitizer included blue berries and ripe heirloom tomatoes. YUM!
She is amazing and I love to watch her grow and develop these behaviors even if they are annoying!

let the summer time fun begin

It looks like summer is now here. Traffic is much lighter and I love it.  We have also been enjoying many summer favorites.  Olivia has discovered the joy of eating watermelon.  Joe shot these when I was at work.

I plan on framing these!

This weekend included a few new experiences for Olivia.  Watermelon and fish.  We took the girls down to the Long Beach Aquarium on Sunday to look at the fish and the sea otters.

 

This picture makes me laugh since they both have their eyes closed.

Looking at the reef sharks

Olivia was very excited.

Audrey was a very good big sister telling Olivia all about the fish.

 Having fun looking into the tanks.

SO much fun no one wanted to leave.

 New experiences....

Later at home, sitting in a big girl chair using her left hand!  

We had a great weekend!
