2 Year Appointment!

Olivia had her 24 month, or 2 year, appointment the day after her birthday.  It will be nice to finally say she's 2 instead of always giving some month count!!  The appointment was similar to her previous one.....remember this?  She was fine until they called her name and she just froze.  I picked her up and carried her back, but as soon as we walked into the exam room, she totally flipped out!  She was shaking and screaming and was just terrified.  Poor nugget!  I couldn't get her to calm down, so I just had to roll with it.  We got her measurements.....it was hard.....but we got them!

26 pounds 15 oz - 55th percentile - up 1 pound and 13 oz from her 18 month appointment and down from 63rd percentile

34 1/2 inches - 70th percentile - up 1/2 inch - and down from - 99th percentile

47 1/2 cm head circumference - 51st percentile - up 1/2 cm and down from 61st percentile

After all the measurements, she did calm down a bit.....and then Miss Lauren came in.  She lost it again!  Poor little one.  She was so nervous and scared.  Made me quite sad :(  We hurried through all the questions/answers and then she had 1 shot and it was time to go!  I couldn't get her dressed and out of there fast enough!!

All in all, she's a healthy one and I'm just so happy she won't have to go back until she turns 3!

I'm Two!!

Tuesday the 24th was Olivia's 2nd birthday.  I know it's so cliche, but I really feel like time is just flying by so quickly. It was just 2 years ago Olivia came into this world and we just couldn't be happier!  So much has changed since that day and all for the better!  Since her party wouldn't be until that upcoming Sunday, we knew we had to celebrate on her actual birthday with some gifts and, of course, a cupcake and a birthday song!  Now, the day before her birthday, we asked her what tomorrow was.....this was her answer!



This kid cracks us up every day!

We gave her a few gifts that night....

She loves Minnie Mouse, so I couldn't resist this little get-up!  How fabulous is this??  She wanted to wear the ears for dinner too!

After dinner, it was time for cake!  Well, a cupcake!

What a Happy Birthday she had!!  We love you Olivia!!!

I'm a Flower Girl!

Olivia got a beautiful Edible Arrangement from her cousin Jaci the other day.  Here's what the card said!

We're so excited!!

Congrats Jaci and Eric!

Leesburg Bakers Dozen

Every year since 2007 (except the year Olivia was born) Lee has participated in the Leesburg Bakers Dozen which is a 13 hour mountain bike race that takes place on a farm in Leesburg.  I'm sure I've written about this before.  Yes, here!  How could I forget!!  Anyway, Lee couldn't participate in 2010 because I was due to have Olivia any day!  I had planned on dropping Olivia off with Grandma and Grandpa and heading out to the farm to hang out with Lee and all the friends we've made over the years in the biking community.  Plans changed when Grandma and Grandpa needed to head out of town for the day, so Olivia and I headed to Leesburg together!  We had gone to Frying Pan Park earlier that day, so I knew it would be a busy day, but we had a blast!

I guess she doesn't want her picture taken....oh well kid!

Self portrait!

Learning how to tailgate!

She is SO ready for a bike!!  (Mommy isn't though!)

Long day, but so fun!

Frying Pan Park

Olivia and I met Maureen and Adam over at Frying Pan Park a week and a half ago.  It was a beautiful day and we had a wonderful time!  The kids enjoyed running around and seeing all the different animals.  They also had a blast on the carousel!  I can't say I'm a huge fan of going in circles, but anything for my princess!!

I'm so happy Maureen invited us to go.  Great fun!  Can't wait to take her back!

Easter!

Easter was definitely a busy day this year.  The plan was for all of us to head to mom and dad's for an Easter Brunch!  Pink eye struck Adam, so Maureen, Andy and Adam headed home before we headed over for brunch.  Poor guy!  I was really looking forward to watching Olivia and Adam play together and have an Easter egg hunt too!  There's always next year!  So, we woke up Easter morning and the Easter Bunny had arrived!!

 The Easter Bunny brought a lot of candy for Andrew but decided on some healthy snacks for Olivia!  Fruit pouches, goldfish, animal crackers, etc!  Who needs all that chocolate anyway??  There was really no way to not give her one of her fruit pouches to enjoy!  In fact, she wanted to eat all of them that morning.  Funny kid!  After the kids got their baskets, it was time for some fun pictures with Andrew and Daddy!

Time to get ready for brunch!  It took a bit to convince Olivia to put on her Easter dress.  I had to tell her it was a Princess dress.  It worked!  Then we had to fight to get her to wear the shoes too!  So, I told her mommy was wearing Princess shoes and that finally worked as well!

This girl is just too much!!!

Time to go to Grandma and Grandpa's!  We headed over and had a wonderful brunch.  Lee took the opportunity for a mini photo shoot after we ate!

After we left Grandma and Grandpa's, we headed to Nana and Papa's house to spend the afternoon with Lee's family!  We didn't get many pictures over there, but we had a great time with the family playing cornhole and just hanging out!  We learned our niece Jaci and her boyfriend Eric are engaged!  More on that later!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!
