As of this past Thursday, January 20, Olivia is officially walking! It was that day that the amount of time walking (on two feet! With her we need to clarify as she was an expert knee walker!) was greater than all other forms of getting around the house! And of course each day she is better and better! Yesterday she even started showing off doing laps around the couch and the island in the kitchen! The picture above is from today! She grabbed Faith's ballet bag, said "bye, bye" and headed for the door! I think I'm going to have my hands full with this little lady! And she is talking more each day too! She is really growing up fast!!
The lack of blog posts lately is a direct correlation with the health of the kids in the family! Last Tuesday Shane woke up not feeling well and seemed to have croup, or something like it! When that went away, Olivia developed a fever and cold. So, we were house bound for a few days! But today was the turn and I think we are all well again...at least for a while!
Little Livy still has a cold, but she is more herself today, which is wonderful! A needy, crying baby is only pleasant for about five minutes!
Yesterday my college roommate Sarah stopped by as she was driving through Ventura! What a joy it was to spend the afternoon and early evening catching up with my longest Calvin friend! While we first lived across the hall from each other our first year at Calvin, we now live across the country from each other as she lives in Tennessee! But thankfully her sister moved four hours north of where we live, so there is a chance we will see Sarah in CA again!!
From last Monday evening - Faith learned how to sew on a button at American Heritage Girls! Something she would not learn at home! :) One thing that there is no pictures of is the Rainbow loom! That is the latest craze with kids! And our kids have joined in! They love making bracelets, and it was actually a great thing for them to do while they were a bit under the weather! Faith even took a class on Saturday at Michael's with a friend to learn about different, more complicated bracelets to make!
