For my memory...

... and your entertainment :)

First, I apologize for being absent. Life since Vegas has been absolutely crazy, and I'm currently in Boise (will be there until the 20th) so hopefully I'll catch up sometime between then and the big move. However, I didn't want to forget this joyous occasion :)

Today Olivia made her first big, disastrous mess! Amber and I had a date at Coldstone (yummm...) and had just finished getting our ice cream when I realized that Olivia was hungry, so I made her a bottle. I had just started giving it to her when she spit it out and reached for the ice cream. After calmly explaining that ice cream was a mom treat and her milk was melted ice cream anyway (working on my mom explanations :) ), I gave her the bottle again. Olivia is much busier now than she was even a few weeks ago, and after about half a second she had spit out the bottle and grabbed my spoon out of my mouth to suck on it. I was laughing until she threw the spoon on the ground - was that really necessary?

I needed to get a new spoon, so I stood up, grabbed Olivia and bottle, and headed to the counter. Just as I was asking the cashier for another spoon, Olivia threw her bottle to the ground in frustration. The bottle proceeded to crack on the bottom, spilling milk all over the floor, splashing it up the counter, and pouring out the entire 6 oz.

I have a strong feeling this won't be my last post of this nature, but wanted to record it carefully because it is her first big mess, and I was unable to get a picture, mostly due to embarrassment :).
