It has been deliciously chilly in Florida. Or should I say chilly FOR Florida. Up to this point, we have had the AC set to 75 degrees. When I woke up this morning and kissed Olive's fat cheeks, they were a little cold. I checked the thermostat and it said 68 degrees inside! Wow! I was actually really excited because Olive has some "warmer" outfits that I was worried about her not being able to wear. So this week, we had a splendid fashion show!
Cute corduroy romper from Aunt Sonia, Uncle Wendell, and Justin. It looks incredibly comfortable to me. Do they make it in my size?
We love this striped sweater outfit from Alexis! Olive was so excited, she decided to show off her robot moves!
She remarked that wearing the hood made her feel like an ewok character from Star Wars.
A nice warm little dress from the Hale's. (Sorry to interrupt the important conversation you two were having.)
And she finally fits in these jammies from my mom. That ought to keep those ears warm!
There are a lot of dresses that Olive fits in all of the sudden, but I am starting to worry that there are not enough Sunday's to wear them all multiple times!
I think Olive is teething ALREADY. Or at least she is getting pre-teething pains. Let's not talk about that.
I have been working on some birth record stitcheries. I hope they will be an excellent item on etsy. A search didn't yield many comparable items (and certainly not as cute, if I can toot my own horn). The quilts I sell are obviously higher ticket items so I am hoping the lower price will result in my first sale soon! I will post pictures soon!
We got Olive a new car seat. We had bought the old infant one from craigslist for $25--which should tell you why we were eager to get a new one. I'm actually glad we didn't pay full price for a new infant carrier just to find out we didn't like it. The new one is a convertible one, so she should be able to use it for a long time.
Doesn't she look cute in her hat? This was one of my "most anticipated" purchases from when I was pregnant. Ever since I saw my cousin's baby (Penny) wearing a really cute one last December at Grandpa's funeral, I had decided it would be my mission to find something darling like it.
We went to an amazing Italian market for lunch today. I am accustomed to getting lots of comments about Olive, but the hat added something a little extra I guess. I had two different sets of people tell me that Olive was cuter than any of their own grandchildren. While I appreciate the compliment, I felt a little bad. They didn't need to compliment Olive at the expense of their grandchildren!
Kevin has been living at the library (as usual) but we are counting down the days until finals! We will be in Utah for 3 weeks. We can hardly wait!
Kevin got a book on building polyfoam puppets. (Can I just say how much I love that my husband enjoys arts and crafts!) When we lived in NY, he really wanted to attend a puppet-building workshop, but it was just too pricey. He just started, so there aren't really any pictures to post...
Oh, Cami went through a stage like that - I think when she was around Olive age - when she all of a sudden had so many dresses that fit! And I don't think there were enough Sundays to get them all worn multiple times. You'll just have to start dressing her in them mid-week. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteLove Olive's hat too! And I really can't wait to have you guys here! I'm counting down the time for when Kev and George are both done with this semester.
