To Each Their Own

Nine times out of ten this is how I find Olivia in her swing. If I slept like this I wouldn't be able to use my neck for days but it doesn't seem to bother her.

Best Time eVER!

That's right! We went to the pumpkin patch and had the best time eVER!!! Things are much more fun now that Savannah is older, needless to say she had a blast and was of course adorable in her ladybug costume. Olivia was a pumpkin and was super cute too! We went with some friends of ours who also have two girls who are the same age as ours. Aren't the two babies cute.

Now I totally think the place we went costs way to much, its $10.60 per adult, Jacob luckily hurt his back and didn't come with us. (Although him hurting his back is not good cause he can't move but I'm going to focus on the pumpkin patch now.) For costing so much it really was a great time and I'm glad the girls were free. When we got there we went over to the pig races. They had pig races! Savannah and I loved it and had fun cheering for the adorable little pigs. Then we headed over for a hayride. Once again tons of fun, and it even put Olivia to sleep.

Savannah had lots of fun at the petting area, she even let the goats lick her hand which totally surprised me. She is usually very afraid of the animals but this time she pet the ponies and like I said let the goats lick her hand.

It was fun dressing up the girls in their costumes and they really did have fun. Well at least I know Savannah did and Olivia was quite content to sit in her car seat most of the evening. One last attraction to tell you about is this giant in ground trampoline except it wasn't really a trampoline it looked like a huge elongated balloon. Anyway Savannah couldn't get enough and had fun jumping around and bouncing all over the place. Needless to say it was a vERY successful night.

Pictures Say A Thousand Words

Savannah climbed into Olivia's crib with her the other day. Aren't they so sweet.

Jacob's mom made these pj's for Savannah and as you can see she's quite smitten with curlers.

These are my favorite pj's Olivia has right now. She was just so happy chillin in her crib.

Randomness

So I thought I'd share some of the funny, cute, and just plain randomness that has been said or done at the house this weekend.

Savannah and Jacob were snuggling on the coach Sunday morning and Savannah's puppy was lying on the floor. She realizes that he's on the floor and she wants him so she looks a Jacob and says, "Puppy. Go!" Apparently it was suppose to motivate him to be quick in retrieving her puppy.

Shortly after that Savannah looks at Jacob and says she wants to eat. Now we've already had pancakes with homemade buttermilk syrup and homemade whip cream, which she ate a lot of. Now what does she ask for? Cake. She then walks into the kitchen, climbs into her chair, and buckles it. Then she sits and patiently waits for Jacob or I to get her some cake. Needless to say she didn't get any since it was 10 in the morning.

Last night Savannah was having a hard time going to sleep. Jacob had already gone in with her twice so I gave him a sleeping Olivia and went in with Savannah. She was just so cute so I couldn't resist laying down with her because she kept saying, "I scared. I scared." I mean how could you leave her alone after that, and I was exhausted too so I quite enjoyed lying down. I must have fallen asleep because I suddenly heard Olivia fussing in her crib. I decided to get Olivia and bring her into Savannah's bed. This made Savannah's night. She got so excited that Olivia was going to lay down with us, she moved her blankets over and scooted over to make room. She kept saying, "baby make room" and "sissy". It just melted my heart to see how much Savannah really does love her "sissy" and doesn't seem to mind sharing my attention with her.

One last thing that was cute was Saturday morning. We told Savannah we were going to watch church on TV this weekend since it was Conference. Once she learned this she grabbed Jacob's hand and took him into her room where she decided she needed to get dressed. What did she pick out to wear? Oh just one of her totally girly-girl dresses that she wears to church, which she then wore all day long. Oh how I love her.

This was a good reminder for me so I thought I'd share.

2 Months!

Can you believe it, Olivia is already two months old! Time is going by so much faster this time around. I thought I'd just share a quick post on what the happenings are with Miss Olivia. She really is a joy and I just fall more and more in love with her every day. I also think that she gets cuter and cuter every day as well which I think is a typical parent thing to think. Olivia is smiling all the time, my favorite though is when she first wakes up. When she hears my voice when I come to pick her up she just starts smiling and looking around for me I just LOVE it! She also really enjoys Savannah as long as she stays gentle. Olivia always has smiles for her big sister. Olivia is becoming very aware of her surroundings and is always looking around. She of course loves to cuddle and just molds to your body still which is fantastic. She is my cuddle buddy at night which I actually don't like. Olivia is having a hard time staying asleep at night in her crib so we usually sleep together. That will be what I tackle next week, trying to get her to sleep lying down alone. I have a feeling I'll be even more tired then usual and a bit more cranky but its worth it in the end. Right now Olivia is weighing in at a little over 9lbs and she is 22 1/2 in long, she's actually growing at the same rate Savannah did which is fun. Olivia is overall a very content baby and still eats and sleeps most days, she's starting to be awake more and we're just loving every minute we get to spend with her.

"A Grown-Up Day"

So this morning I was running around as usual, trying to take a shower and get ready all while Olivia was happy in her swing since she decided she didn't need a morning nap (she's already too much like her sister.) I came out to check on her and while doing so I hear a strange clicking sound. Then I see Savannah walking out of my room with my shoes on. This is a new favorite activity of hers, walking around in various pairs of high heels. I'm actually quite impressed at how well she does at keeping her balance and how quickly she can walk around in them. Oh how I love this girl. Later while I was doing my hair (which I cut short, I'll include a picture soon) anyway I was putting some curlers in it to give it a little more volume and Savannah decided she needed some volume too so she also got curlers put in her hair. Like my mom said after the picture messages I sent her, Savannah is having "a grown up day" today.
