Olivia - The Mobilized!

A lot has happened in the last two weeks for Olivia!  First of all, she had her combination blessing with Henry a couple of Sundays ago.  We had a great turnout, with nearly 60 people there to see the kids!

Bob did a great job with the blessing.  He talked about Olivia's great personality and the origins of her special name.  Olivia was really good too, we were worried about her yelling and screaming in the middle, but apart from an attempt at grabbing the microphone, she was great!

Bob's family all made it to celebrate!

Olivia got to cuddle with her Tummy Mommy, Shelli, who showed up for the occasion.

She also enjoyed hanging out with Tummy Daddy, Adam.  Also, she had a super cool water bottle.

We had a photoshoot with the kids in front of the temple in their white outfits to commemorate Olivia's sealing, since the day we did the sealing was a total blizzard!

We don't have all the pictures back yet, but here are a few of the best.  We had a lot of fun, and doesn't Olivia look beautiful?

Another big thing that has happened recently:  Olivia has learned to crawl!  She wiggles her bottom in the most adorable way and crawls forward in a pretty inefficiently.  She loves her newfound ability, and is obsessed with her new favorite toy -- Baby Henry.

Watch her during a photoshoot we had with Henry recently.

Mostly she wants to scratch his head and poke his eyes out, but she has learned the if she gives him 'kisses' (really just open-mouth slobbers) then she gets lots of praise and everyone tells her she's adorable.

Kissing Baby Brother

Olivia likes to kiss everything, looking for praises.  People, dogs, stuffed animals, furniture, electronics, the floor, etc...  Here she is, kissing a stuffed bear.

Before she learned to crawl the conventional way, she was crawling backwards and continually getting stuck under things like couches and tables and chairs.

Extra drooly!

Other things Olivia is loving lately, getting her toes painted like her mom!

Olivia loves books.  She likes it when we read books to her and she likes reading books herself.

She loves going out for lunch dates with Daddy!  She picks him up from work and plays with his iPhone while they wait for food.  Then she eats food off of his plate and has a great time.

She loves sharing her binkie!

The past few days, Olivia has finally had some teeth come in!  They are too small and nubby to get a picture of, and her mouth is too sore to show them off anyway. She has been quite grumpy and even had a fever for a couple of days while they came in, but now she has her two bottom front teeth!   Hopefully we'll get some pictures soon.
