Sunday night, right after we got to Amber's house, I set Olivia down for a second and came back to this!
No she didn't roll over completely, but it was so close and she was so enthusiastic about it that I honestly thought she might. I was glad she didn't because Alex wasn't there though.Monday night the kids had a dance party, which is a super smart idea to get rid of energy, and absolutely hilarious...I have an awesome video that catches more detail, but I'm still new at this blogging thing, and I haven't figured out how to make my video editted and such to post it on here.
Kade was doing full-on roundoffs, it was awesome :)
Alex and my mom arrived on Wednesday, the 26th, and it was awesome to shower and rest a little (how do mom's of more than one EVER shower? I have no idea). Baby Teagen had to spend a week in the NICU, so I don't have any pictures of him, but he's an angel, and I'm so glad he's home with his whole family now!
not super thrilled about getting her picture taken...
I love this picture. Olivia is so beautiful, I just can't get over it. She's an absolute angel.
still not thrilled, but she loves her monkey, so at least she's not flailing wildly anymore!
What is she staring so intently at you ask? ESPN...can I say daddy's girl any louder?
Olivia loved spending time with her cousins. I was a little more cautious (it's just so many little fingers!), but all her cousins were so loving and just wanted to play with her and hold her all the time. Elli was so cute, she would ask about once an hour if she could kiss the baby :)
What is this you ask? A half-smile...yes! Now we're getting somewhere!
Daddy came along and saved the day with some airplane rides!
Alex tells me she's smiling in this picture because I finally took her bow off. I don't agree, but there may be something to it. I just can't help putting these huge outrageous bows on her all the time!
Looking back through these pictures, I'm not sure Olivia was having the best time, but she did absolutely love hanging out with her older cousins, she smiled and laughed more during that week than ever before!
hmm...where does she get her ability to focus completely on the TV? I can't figure it out!
After we got to Portland, I wanted to stop at the Fabric Depot to look at fabric for bridesmaid dresses. It was totally worth it, I'm sold! I don't ever buy or need fabric, but this place was awesome! Anyway, we put Olivia in the backpack so she wouldn't have to stay in the car seat all day, and she loved it! We had never had her facing outward before, but she's big enough (barely) now, and she spent the whole time hamming it up for the other customers. We honestly had 3 or 4 people say they would hurt us and steal her...kinda awkward but I totally understand! She is such a cutie!
That was our whole trip...or at least what I have pictures of :) I have no idea when I'll get around to posting about Christmas (I have 400 pictures to sort through) but I wanted to get back on track. If you made it all the way through, you must really love us!

Friday was Olivia's 3 month birthday!
We didn't do anything special ... but it was a good opportunity to take about a hundred pictures! I'm just going to put a few of them on here, but as you can tell, it started out rough and got better from there! I have to thank Alex, he's amazing at getting her to smile and be happy with me messing with her all the time (Olivia is a total Daddy's girl).

After the party Maely asked if she could hold Olivia, and that started an impromptu photo shoot with the cousins (P.S. I can't believe I still don't have any pictures of Amber and Dan with Olivia...shoot!)

Saturday was also the day before we had to come back home, and Alex really wanted me to try the Playstation Move before we left (I secretly know this was a ploy because he has a Playstation and wants one for himself). I LOVED it! I hate to admit this, but I especially likedthe gladiator duelling game... These next few pictures are from that night.
