Lately Olive has been freaking out at the sight of insects. It started a couple of weeks ago when she was playing happily in the next room. All of the sudden, I hear a cry unlike any I have ever heard from Olive. I figure she has hurt herself badly. I come running around the corner and find her trying to frantically get away from a teeny moth. Seriously, Olive? Oh and this now happens like once a day.
Oh, and she beatboxes. I have had a really hard time capturing it on video, but finally got it! You can hear her a little bit in the beginning but much better around 0:43 seconds.
I love this time of year. It's still pretty muggy and hot, but I have hope that it will cool down soon! I don't know if you remember me talking about eating dinner out of a pumpkin last year, but I posted a tutorial on my craft blog here. We ate it for dinner last night and it is truly one of the most fun dinners!
Olive has outgrown her jeans. (She now has lots of capris.)
We went to Target and got her a couple pairs of pants. I loooooooooooove Target! They had some stretch skinny jeans so you know that I surely bought her a pair. They were a bit long, so we cuffed them (in the picture they look too short but believe me, they are plenty long.) They make her look so tall! She looks like a toddler! Eek!
On Labor Day, Kevin didn't have school or work, so we thought we would try to take Olive to a matinee. We bought tickets for the new Winnie the Pooh movie at the dollar theater. I packed plenty of snacks, brought her blankie companion, everything I could think of that could pacify her. She was very pleasant at the theater. A little too pleasant. The problem is, she wanted to jabber the whole time. She would turn around and try to talk to all the kids behind her. We made it 45/70 minutes before the "DAAAAAAAAAAAAD"s became a little too much. So Olive doesn't have proper movie etiquette. Don't worry, she will learn!
If you hadn't seen on facebook already, Olive took her first steps the other day. I can't believe I actually caught such a momentous occasion on video:
Kevin and I have been watching "Downton Abbey." I'm already dying for the next season but very grateful that such a thing even exists. I'm not used to good old masterpiece classic having seasons. Can't wait!!!
